PREFACE 

The  history  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy — the  first  College  of 
Pharmacy  in  the  New  World — covers  practically  the  history  of  American  Phar- 
macy. Instituted  in  1821  and  incorporated  in  1822,  the  College  has  exerted  a  potent 
influence  in  developing  pharmaceutical  education,  improving  the  conditions  of  phar- 
maceutical practice,  and  rendering,  through  its  thousands  of  graduates,  a  nation- 
wide service  for  the  relief  of  human  suffering  and  the  conservation  of  public  health. 

It  is  therefore  fitting  that,  upon  the  centenary  of  the  founding  of  this  college, 
its  history  be  reviewed  and  its  principles  and  traditions  perpetuated. 

Briefly,  this  volume  considers  : 

Philadelphia  and  pharmacy  as  of  one  hundred  years  ago. 

The  founding  of  the  institution,  largely  by  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends 
"with  their  homely  virtues  of  modesty,  thrift  and  wisdom,  and  love  of  peace  and 
simple  honor,"  its  modest  beginnings,  and  the  primitive  condition  of  the  pharmacy 
of  the  time  and  its  gross  abuses. 

The  pioneer  work  of  Wood  and  Bache  for  scientific  pharmacy. 

The  development  of  higher  ethical  standards  and  the  birth  of  the  U.  S.  Phar- 
macopeia and  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 

The  removal  from  the  old  buildings  on  Zane  Street  to  North  Tenth  Street  and 
the  erection  of  new  buildings. 

The  amazing  progress  of  the  past  half  century  or  more,  with  its  wonderful  de- 
velopment in  pharmaceutical  education,  legislation  and  practice,  together  with  an 
account  of  the  origin  and  work  of  the  Alumni  Association,  and  the  merging  of  the 
Department  of  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College  in 
1916,  followed  by  a  review  of  the  events  of  Centennial  Year,  and  these,  by  bio- 
graphical data  of  compelling  interest  to  the  graduates  of  the  institution. 

The  story  is  one  that  will  bring  a  thrill  of  pride,  not  only  to  every  alumnus  of 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  but  to  everyone  who  is  interested  in  Amer- 
ican Pharmacy,  and  it  should  serve  as  an  inspiration  to  hold  aloft  the  torch  of  scien- 
tific pharmacy  handed  down  to  us  by  our  forbears  and  to  do  all  within  our  power 
to  justify  their  faith  in  us. 

The  history  of  yesterday  foreshadows  the  experience  of  today  and  tomorrow. 
The  old  is  ever  suggestive  of  the  new  and  the  new  of  the  old,  or  as  Chaucer  wrote 
in  his  "Assembly  of  Fowles,"  over  five  hundred  years  ago : 

"For  out  of  the  old  fieldes,  as  men  saithe, 
Cometh  all  this  new  corne  fro  yere  to  yere ; 
And  out  of  old  bookes,  in  good  faithe, 
Cometh  all  this  new  science  that  men  lere." 

The  Committee  on  Historical  Volume  desires  to  express  its  appreciation  of  the 
services  which  have  been  rendered  by  Dr.  Ellis  Paxson  Oberholtzer  in  the  collec- 
tion of  historical  data  generally ;  it  wishes  to  express,  also,  its  appreciation  of  the 
co-operation  given  by  Mrs.  R.  J.  Tullar  in  the  collection  of  biographical  data. 

The  illustrations  of  this  volume  have  been  made,  in  some  cases,  from  old  paint- 
ings and  faded  photographs,  also  old  prints  in  magazines  and  newspapers,  and, 
therefore,  are  not  as  uniform  and  clear  as  might  be  desired.

THE  FIRST  CENTURY  OF  THE 
PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY 

CHAPTER  I 
PHILADELPHIA  AND  PHARMACY  I1ST  1821 

One  hundred  years  have  passed  since  the  druggists  and  apothecaries  of  Phila- 
delphia met  and  organized  the  first  college  of  pharmacy  on  the  American  Continent. 

Philadelphia,  founded  by  that  far  sighted  Quaker,  William  Penn,  on  the 
western  bank  of  the  Delaware  River,  had  been  the  leader  in  so  much  that  was 
associated  with  American  history  and  science,  that  its  pioneer  service  in  separating 
pharmacy  from  medicine  and  dignifying  it  with  professional  standing,  was  but  a 
natural  development. 

Stimulated  by  the  philosophical  and  scientific  leadership  of  Benjamin  Franklin 
and  the  group  of  young  men  who  gathered  about  him,  Philadelphia  had  become  the 
pioneer  of  the  Colonies  in  many  educational,  industrial  and  humanitarian  move- 
ments. A  vigorous  protest  against  slavery,  the  reprinting  of  the  Bible  and  of  the 
works  of  Shakespeare,  the  starting  of  an  American  newspaper  and  of  a  magazine, 
the  establishing  of  a  drug  mill,  a  paper  mill,  a  botanical  garden*  and  an  astro- 
nomical observatory,  were  the  direct  outcome  of  the  cultural  influences  of  early 
Philadelphia.  Here  was  the  first  American  hospital,  the  first  college  of  medicine 
and  the  first  law  school  of  the  New  World,  and  here  assembled  the  Continental 
Congress  which  wrote  and  adopted  that  immortal  state  paper — the  Declaration  of 
Independence  of  the  American  Colonies,  which  resulted  in  the  birth  of  the  Ameri- 
can nation. 

It  was  in  this  creative  and  inspirational  atmosphere  that  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  was  founded. 

Philadelphia  in  1821 

Philadelphia  in  1821  was  the  principal  city  of  the  United  States  and  the  largest. 
In  it  much  of  the  business  of  the  Federal  government  continued  to  be  transacted, 
in  spite  of  the  removal  of  the  capitol  to  the  District  of  Columbia.  Many  of  the 
foreign  ministers  and  consuls  resided  here  instead  of  at  Washington.  Here  was 
the  Mint  in  which  our  money  was  coined.  Here  was  the  National  Bank,  the  second 
great  financial  institution  to  be  chartered  by  Congress  for  regulating  the  fiduciary 
relations  of  the  country,  housed  in  a  fine  granite  building  on  Chestnut  Street  be- 
tween Fourth  and  Fifth  Streets  (now  the  U.  S.  Custom  House),  under  the  presi- 


*  The  old  homestead  of  John  and  Mary  Bartram  on  the  west  side  of  the  Schuylkill,  be- 
tween 54  and  56  Streets,  now  a  public  park,  is  America's  first  botanical  garden.  Bartram's 
father  was  a  Quaker,  loved  and  admired  by  his  acquaintances.  Following  a  fancy  to  have 
none  but  his  hands  erect  a  home  in  his  old  age,  he  built,  of  stone  and  timber,  the  house  that 
now  stands  in  the  park  and  engraved  upon  the  front  the  lines : 

"To  God  alone:  the  mighty  Lord: 
The  Holy  One  by  me  adored." 

JOHN  BARTRAM,  1770.

dency  of  Nicholas  Biddle.  With  a  famous  bar,  famous  physicians  and  surgeons, 
famous  publishing  houses,  a  prosperous  trade  on  the  river  with  Europe,  the  West 
Indies  and  all  the  rest  of  the  world,  which  brought  every  kind  of  merchandise  to 
her  wharves  and  established  fortunes  for  many  of  her  citizens,  Philadelphia  had 
come  to  be  regarded  as  the  most  distinguished  of  American  communities. 

Philadelphia  had  a  population  of  137,000;  New  York  of  123,000;  Baltimore 
of  62,000:  Boston,  4.3,000;  and  New  Orleans,  the  most  important  town  in  the 
South,-  some  40,000  inhabitants. 

The  West,  which  was  reached  only  by  the  aid  of  the  great  canvas  covered 
wagons  which  toiled  up  the  steeps  of  the  Alleghenies  and  down  the  slopes  of  those 
mountains  to  the  shores  of  streams  which  poured  their  waters  into  the  Mississippi, 
was  a  wilderness  whose  future  the  most  prophetic  could  not  yet  foretell.  Barges 
laden  with  goods  passed  down  the  Ohio  in  the  spring  freshets,  the  boatmen  return- 
ing on  ships  by  way  of  Philadelphia  and  Baltimore.  Sailing  packets,  and  now  for 
a  few  years  the  new  steamboats,  still  only  experiments,  threaded  their  way  among 
the  snags  and  rapids  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  Pittsburgh,  at  the  head  of  the  Ohio 
River,  the  seat  of  some  iron  industries,  was  the  home  of  only  7,000  people ;  Cincin- 
nati, 10,000 ;  St.  Louis,  like  New  Orleans,  flavored  with  the  civilization  of  France, 
from  which  it  had  so  recently  been  acquired  by  purchase,  was  the  quiet  abiding 
place  of  4,500  people.  Buffalo  was  a  mere  village  on  the  verge  of  western  settle- 
ment with  a  population  of  2,000 ;  while  Chicago,  later  destined  to  boom  its  way  to 
wealth  and  importance  with  such  irresistible  power,  consisted  of  but  a  few  cabins 
clustered  around  Fort  Dearborn. 

Not  a  railroad  had  yet  been  seen  better  than  the  one  Thomas  Leiper  had  built 
in  the  large  yard  of  the  Bull's  Head  Tavern  on  North  Second  Street,  which  fact 
soon  led  him  to  construct  tracks  leading  from  some  quarries  which  he  owned 
on  Crum  Creek  in  Delaware  County.*  Over  this  tramway  crude  cars  filled 
with  stone  were  drawn  by  horses  three-fourths  of  a  mile  to  a  landing  on  Rid- 
ley Creek.  It  was  not  until  the  summer  of  1832  that  brightly  painted  cars,  built 
after  the  pattern  of  the  English  mail  coach,  were  pulled  by  horses  from  a  station 
at  Ninth  and  Green  Streets  through  the  green  fields  lying  north  of  the  city  as  far 
as  Germantown. 

At  the  same  time,  in  the  summer  of  1832,  tracks  were  being  put  down  from 
the  Belmont  plateau  on  the  west  side  of  the  Schuylkill  to  the  town  of  Columbia  on 
the  Susquehanna,  the  beginning  of  a  railroad  into  the  West,  and  the  nucleus  of  that 
great  transportation  system  which  we  know  now  as  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad. 
It  was  finished  as  far  as  Paoli  in  1832  and  a  spur  was  run  into  West  Chester.  But 
it  was  1834  before  the  rails  reached  their  destination  and  were  ready  for  use  from 
tidewater  to  the  Susquehanna. 


*  In  the  Union  of  May  25,  1822,  "Innovator"  stated  that  "it  is  a  matter  of  surprise  that 
there  has  never  yet  been  a  railroad  built  in  this  country,  when  roads  on  this  construction  have 
so  long  been  used  in  England,  where  their  utility  is  acknowledged.  True,  they  have  never  yet 
been  used  for  the  purpose  of  traveling,  but,  in  my  opinion,  they  might  be,  and  steam  coaches 
might  run  on  them,  which  would  be  as  great  an  addition  to  the  comfort  and  speed  of  passen- 
gers on  land  as  the  steamboats  are  on  the  water.  I  have  often  read  of  them,  but  never  saw 
one  in  operation,  and  was,  therefore,  gratified  by  the  view  of  the  one  in  miniature  IIQW  at 
Springer's  Garden  in  Camden,  and  I  think  any  of  your  readers  would  also  be  satisfied  with 
their  excursion,  as  a  pleasant  sail  brings  them  to  the  place." 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  9 

When  the  druggists  and  apothecaries  of  Philadelphia  were  formulating  their 
plans  for  the  establishment  of  their  College,  even  the  canals  were  not  available  for 
ferryboat  or  passenger  traffic.  For  a  long  time  plans  had  been  on  foot  for  digging 
a  way  for  boats  between  the  Delaware  and  Chesapeake  to  take  care  of  the  Southern 
trade,  and  for  a  canal  along  the  Schuylkill  which  might  reach  into  the  north  and 
west.  But  upon  the  excavations,  little  progress  had  been  made  until  after  the  War 
of  1812,  when  men  of  means  came  to  the  support  of  the  undertakings.  It  was  1825 
before  boats  which  had  traversed  the  whole  length  of  the  Schuylkill  Canal  reached 
Fairmount,  and  1827  before  the  connecting  Union  Canal  by  way  of  Reading  to 
Middletown  on  the  Susquehanna  was  open  for  navigation.  A  half  dozen  years  more 
passed  before  the  Juniata  was  canaled  and  by  a  portage  in  the  mountains  passengers 
and  freights  could  be  conveyed  to  Pittsburgh  and  to  ports  on  the  Ohio  and  the 
Mississippi.  The  Chesapeake  and  Delaware  Canal,  across  the  little  State  of  Dela- 
ware, to  facilitate  communication  with  Baltimore  and  the  South,  and  the  Lehigh 
Canal,  running  from  Mauch  Chunk  down  to  Easton,  were  not  opened  until  1829. 
The  all-water  route  to  New  York,  with  the  assistance  of  the  Delaware  and  Raritan 
canal  from  Bordentown  to  New  Brunswick,  was  not  available  for  use  until  1834. 

In  1821  the  only  method  of  reaching  the  West  was  by  stage  coach  out  the  Lan- 
caster Pike.  It  was  a  trip  of  from  five  to  seven  days  to  Pittsburgh  over  indescrib- 
ably bad  roads,  and  it  cost  each  passenger  about  twenty  dollars.  Emigrants  were 
packed  into  the  Conestoga  wagons — "the  East  Indiamen  of  the  road" — making  the 
journey  in  twenty  days,  and  paid  the  wagoners  five  dollars  a  live  hundred  weight, 
the  same  rate  as  for  their  goods.  Market  (then  High)  Street  and  the  side  streets 
around  the  taverns,  where  the  teamsters  stopped,  were  at  times  choked  with  the 
lumbering  vehicles  which  had  brought  Western  produce  into  the  city  and  would 
carry  back  clothing,  hardware,  salt,  iron,  paint  and  other  articles  necessary  to  the 
people  settled  on  the  frontier.  Winter  and  summer,  great  long  limbed  horses,  wear- 
ing bells,  used  in  the  mountains  to  signal  their  approach  to  teamsters  coming  in  an 
opposite  direction  on  some  narrow  road,  stood  in  all  weather  tied  to  the  wheels  of 
their  wagons,  eating  their  oats  and  corn  from  the  feeding  troughs,  which,  like  the 
tar  boxes  and  the  water  pails,  were  slung  under  each  vehicle. 

The  Lancaster  Pike  of  that  day  revealed  a  long  procession  of  these  cumber- 
some carriers  of  freight.  The  stage  coach  dodged  in  and  out  among  them.  Droves 
of  live  stock  on  their  way  to  the  market  raised  clouds  of  dust.  All  came  to  rest  at 
the  inns  set  at  the  road  side — the  driver  of  cattle,  the  wagoners,  and  the  stage  coach 
driver  and  his  passengers.  There  were  sixty-one  stage  and  wagon  taverns  on  the 
pike  between  Philadelphia  and  Lancaster.  Here  meals  were  hastily  eaten,  thirst 
was  quenched  and  horses  were  refreshed  and  changed.  "The  present  generation," 
says  a  writer  whose  memory  covered  this  period,  "cannot  realize  the  commotion 
that  was  caused  by  the  arrival  and  departure  of  half  a  dozen  stages  of  rival  lines 
with  horns  blowing,  streamers  flying  and  horses  on  the  full  run."  Sometimes  as 
many  as  thirty  coaches,  each  drawn  by  four  horses,  though  six  were  used  in  the 
mountains,  stopped  at  one  of  these  taverns  in  a  single  day.  The  Conestoga  wagons 
were  drawn  oftentimes  by  as  many  as  eight  animals. 

Going  North  and  South  travelers  were  aided  by  the  rivers.  Packets  borne  by 
the  wind  and  the  tide,  and  later  steamboats,  carried  passengers  down  the  Delaware 


io         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

to  New  Castle.  Here  they  boarded  a  stage  coach  to  be  taken  over  the  peninsula 
to  Frenchtown  on  the  Elk  River,  a  distance  of  sixteen  miles,  where  another  packet 
or  steamboat  was  found  by  which  they  could  proceed  on  Chesapeake  Bay  to  Balti- 
more. 

The  trip  to  New  York,  when  it  was  not  made  throughout  by  coach,  involved 
a  packet  trip  up  the  river  to  Bordentown,  and  a  coach  ride  to  New  Brunswick  on 
the  Raritan,  or  Elizabethtown  Point  or  South  Amboy.  Packets  were  found  at  these 
places  to  bear  the  traveler  by  water  on  to  New  York.  For  as  little  as  three  dollars 
one  could  pass  from  city  to  city.  In  1825,  when  fast  steamboats  were  in  use,  the  trip 
to  New  York  could  be  made  between  sunrise  and  sunset.  A  passenger  would  be 
awakened  at  his  inn  at  a  very  early  hour — in  winter  time  before  it  was  yet  light — 
in  order  to  make  the  boat.  As  he  reached  lower  Chestnut  Street  he  would  meet  men, 
women  and  children,  carts,  coaches  and  barrows  passing  in  columns  to  the  Dela- 
ware River  where  the  bells  were  clanging,  the  steam  pipes  hissing,  the  wood  fires 
under  the  boilers  sending  up  a  fountain  of  sparks.  Porters  were  noisily  engaged 
in  transferring  freight  and  baggage  from  wharf  to  deck.  The  crowd  was  augmented 
by  many  who  came  to  bid  their  friends  farewell  as  they  started  on  their  fateful 
journeys.  Candy  men,  fruiterers  and  news  agents  passed  through  the  throng,  and 
a  harper  or  Scotch  piper  played  his  instrument  on  the  boats.  Out  on  the  river  the 
passengers  were  called  to  breakfast. 

All  this  was  better  than  a  trip  at  night.  There  were  berths  for  but  a  few. 
Others  must  sit  up  or  lie  upon  the  floor.  The  gassy  stoves  in  cold  weather,  the 
thumping  of  the  billets  of  wood  on  their  way  to  the  boiler  fires,  the  bawling  of  the 
firemen  and  pilots,  the  ceaseless  movement  of  the  paddle  wheels,  with  the  crying 
of  infants  and  the  moaning  of  the  sick,  made  sleep  out  of  the  question  except  to 
the  hardiest. 

A  dozen,  sometimes  twenty,  coaches  were  assembled  at  the  end  of  the  river 
trip.  They  proceeded  overland  in  a  procession  to  meet  the  boat  which  was  to  be 
boarded  for  the  next  "water  stage." 

The  canals  up  the  Schuylkill  and  Lehigh  Rivers  were  necessary  to  bring  the 
new  "stone  coal"  to  Philadelphia,  and  in  1821  only  a  little  time  had  elapsed  since  a 
method  for  burning  it  had  been  discovered  by  accident.  According  to  Hazard's 
Register  only  365  tons  of  anthracite  coal  were  received  in  Philadelphia  in  1820, 
though  five  years  later  the  total  was  increased  to  33,000.  Houses,  public  buildings 
and  factories  were  being  fitted  gradually  with  stoves  and  furnaces  adapted  to  its 
use,  and  the  sooty  sweeps  who,  time  out  of  mind,  had  trooped  through  the  city, 
offering  to  clean  chimneys,  gradually  disappeared. 

Lighting  was  by  candles  and  animal  oils.  The  streets  were  illuminated  only 
by  a  few  lamp  posts  surmounted  by  frames  which  Franklin  had  devised.  With 
lanterns  in  hand,  a  few  night  watchmen  patroled  the  town,  calling  out  their  "Twelve 
o'clock  and  all's  well,"  "Three  o'clock  and  bright  starlight,"  for  the  information  of 
those  who  might  be  lying  awake  on  their  feathers  in  four  post  beds.  It  was  Wil- 
liam Lehman,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  who 
led  the  way  in  City  Councils  for  the  introduction  of  illuminating  gas  as  a  lighting 
agent.  In  Peak's  Museum  in  the  State  House  in  1816  were  seen  "lamps  burning 
without  wick  or  oil,"  rightly  regarded  as  great  curiosities.  Gas  lights  were  in- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy          1 1 

stalled  in  the  Chestnut  Street  Theater.  The  new  Masonic  Hall  in  1820  was  equipped 
with  a  small  gas  making  plant,  but  some  years  were  to  pass  before  private  resi- 
dences should  give  up  the  tallow  dip  and  the  whale  oil  lamp  in  favor  of  the  new 
illuminant.* 

A  public  water  supply  had  been  achieved  by  the  city  in  1802  through  Benjamin 
H.  Latrobe,  the  English  architect,  who  identified  his  name  so  honorably  with  sev- 
eral buildings  in  the  city  as  well  as  with  the  capitol  at  Washington.  He  built  pumping 
engines  on  the  Schuylkill  River  at  Chestnut  Street.  The  water  was  forced  through 
a  brick  tunnel  to  Center  Square  at  High  and  Broad  Streets  (where  City  Hall  now 
stands) ,  and  another  engine  raised  it  to  a  large  reservoir ;  from  this  receptacle  it  was 
distributed  through  hollowed  sap  pine  logs  sunk  in  all  the  principal  streets,  to  hy- 
drants for  the  use  of  the  householders.  This  service  sufficed  for  a  while,  but  in  1815 
it  was  abandoned  in  favor  of  pumping  works  at  Fairmount  which  raised  the  water 
into  a  large  basin  on  Morris's  Hill,  now  the  site  of  the  Art  Museum  being  erected  at 
the  western  end  of  the  Parkway.  When  the  plans  for  the  Schuylkill  Canal  were 
advanced  and  the  Fairmount  Dam  was  built,  water  wheels  were  installed  and  a 
system  of  pumping  developed  which  still  has  a  place  in  the  boyhood  memories  of 
many  a  Philadelphia!!.  Crowds  assembled  at  the  spot  to  see  the  great  wheels  re- 
volve in  the  power  house. 

It  was  in  the  very  year  of  the  institution  of  the  College  that  the  dam  was  closed 
and  the  water  wheels  were  put  in  place.  Still  it  was  only  an  occasional  house  that 
had  water  in  it,  except  as  it  could  be  carried  in  pails  and  crocks  from  the  hydrants 
outside  the  door.  But  there  were  some  public  baths  at  the  rivers  to  which  the 
people  might  repair  in  summer.  Best  of  all,  the  new  water  works  provided  the 
means  of  flushing  the  gutters,  streets  and  markets  for  keeping  the  city  more  free 
of  disease,  which  had  so  constantly  recurred  during  the  summer  months  for  sev- 
eral years,  and  it  afforded  some  degree  of  protection  from  fire.  Many  of  the  in- 
habitants of  the  city  were  members  of  volunteer  fire  companies,  who  would  rush 
out  of  their  doors  and  windows  upon  hearing  the  cry  of  fire.  Sometimes  it  was 
a  false  alarm  started  by  young  rowdies  for  the  purpose  of  disturbing  quiet  and 
orderly  citizens  and  of  instituting  free-for-all  fights. 

The  city  lay  between  the  Delaware  and  Center  Square  at  Broad  and  High 
Streets.  There  were  houses  only  at  irregular  intervals  on  High  Street  west  of 
Broad  Street.  The  city's  southern  boundary  was  Cedar  or  South  Street,  its  north- 
ern boundary  Vine  Street.  The  old  lines : 

"Chestnut,  Walnut,  Spruce  and  Pine, 
Market,  Arch,  Race  and  Vine," 

were  an  expression  of  its  physical  scope,  no  less  than  of  the  arrangement  of  its 
thoroughfares.  To  the  south  of  the  city,  though  indistinguishable  from  it,  was 
Southwark,  which  had  its  separate  government ;  to  the  north  of  Vine  Street  was 
Northern  Liberties,  with  its  own  political  jurisdiction. 

Of  pavements  there  were  not  many.  Such  as  were  laid  down  were  of  round 
cobble  stones,  water-washed  rubble,  obtained  from  the  bed  of  the  Delaware  near 


*  It  is  of  interest  to  note  that  in  November,  1837,  the  records  of  the  College  show  that 
$100  was  appropriated  for  introducing  gas  into  the  Zane  Street  Building  of  the  College.

MAP  OF  THE  CITY  OF  PHILADELPHIA 

Trenton.  Vine  Street  was  built  upon  and  paved  out  as  far  as  Ninth  Street ;  Race, 
which  at  first  had  been  Sassafras,  to  Broad  Street;  Arch,  which  had  been  Mul- 
berry, the  home  of  many  well-to-do  Quaker  families,  to  Twelfth  Street ;  Market  to 
Schuylkill  Sixth  Street,  now  Seventeenth  Street  (streets  west  of  Broad  Street  were 
at  that  time  numbered  east  from  the  Schuylkill)  ;  Chestnut  was  paved  to  Sixteenth 
Street  and  built  up  nearly  as  far  as  Twelfth  Street ;  Walnut  was  paved  to  Twelfth 
Street ;  Spruce  to  Broad  Street ;  Pine  and  South  Streets  to  Ninth  Street.  The  in- 
tersecting streets,  running  north  and  south,  were  similarly  set  with  round  stones 
according  as  the  improvements  by  abutting  lot  owners  seemed  to  warrant  it.  One 
street  paralleled  another,  north  and  south  and  east  and  west.  Its  very  regular  ap- 
pearance was  Philadelphia's  characteristic  as  well  as  defect. 

"Street  answers  street,  each  alley  has  a  brother, 
And  half  the  city  just  reflects  the  other." 

The  four  squares  which  Penn  had  set  aside  when  he  laid  out  his  "greene  coun- 
try town"  for  the  inalienable  use  of  the  commonalty  were  located  at  points  equally 
distant  from  the  Center  Square.  But  so  much  open  ground  was  found  in  all  direc- 
tions that  the  deed  of  gift  met  with  little  public  appreciation.  As  yet  they  were 
just  the  Northeast,  Northwest,  Southeast  and  Southwest  Squares,  potters'  field  or 
dumping  grounds  for  town  offal,  overgrown  with  grass  and  weeds.  Again  ikvvas 
William  Lehman  in  Common  Council  in  1816  who  proposed  that  they  be  named 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         13 

for  Washington,  Franklin,  Columbus  and  Penn.  But  it  was  1825  before  action  was 
taken.  Then  it  was  resolved  to  honor  Washington,  Franklin,  Logan  and  Kitten- 
house,  Penn's  name  being  attached  to  the  Center  Square  on  which  our  City  Hall 
now  stands. 

It  was  still  not  unusual  to  see  Indians  in  the  streets — members  of  the  Lenni 
Lenape  tribe  living  in  semi-domestication  in  their  villages  in  the  neighborhood. 
They  might  be  seen  standing  near  the  State  House,  where  the  women  offered  for 
sale  to  the  citizens,  moccasins,  baskets  and  other  articles,  the  men  might  be  induced 
to  bend  their  bows  at  "ftps"  and  "levies"  set  in  tree  clefts  which  some  one  would 
place  there  and  which  were  to  be  theirs  if  they  should  prove  themselves  good  enough 
marksmen  to  bring  clown  the  coins  with  their  arrows.

SECOND  AND  MARKET  STREETS 

Second  and  Market  Streets  in  1799,  and  later,  was  practically  the  center  of  the 
business  activities  of  the  city.  In  the  print  herein  given  there  may  be  seen  on  Sec- 
ond Street  north  of  Market  the  old  Christ  Church  building  erected  in  1727  to  re- 
place the  one  story  structure  which  had  occupied  the  site  since  1695.  President 
Washington  and  President  Adams  each  had  a  pew  here,  and  here  Benjamin  Franklin 
and  Henry  Clay  worshipped.  Nearby,  at  51  (now  135)  Market  Street,  the 
printing  shop  of  Benjamin  Franklin  was  formerly  located  (1728-1766).  On  the 
northwest  corner  of  Second  and  Market  Streets,  in  1812,  was  the  apothecary  shop 
of  John  Speakman,  subsequently  Speakman  and  Say,  and  later  Thatcher  and 
Thompson. 

Second  Street  was  the  principal  business  street.  Here  were  found  the  dry 
goods  and  other  stores  later  established  on  Eighth  Street.  "Every  kind  of  place 


14         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

where  the  wants  of  an  immense  city  are  supplied,"  as  stated  by  a  writer  of  the  day, 
were  ranged  on  this  thoroughfare.  "Crowds  upon  crowds  of  buyers,  sellers  and 
gazers  at  the  busy  scene  'thronged  the  sidewalks  from  daybreak  until  long  after 
dark.'  "  Barrels  of  sugar,  coffee  and  fruit  stood  outside  the  merchants'  doors. 
Flannels,  muslins,  silks  and  calicoes  were  hung  over  the  doors  in  whole  pieces  to 
dangle  in  the  faces  of  any  who  might  come  in,  or  were  placed  in  rolls  side  by  side 
on  boxes  standing  at  the  street  side. 

The  wooden  market  houses  which  filled  High  Street  and  Second  Street  were 
unsightly,  but  they  did  not  fail  to  rivet  the  interest  of  visitors.  To  see  the  towns- 
people chaffering  at  the  stalls  with  the  German  and  the  other  farmers,  and  their 
wives  and  daughters  who  came  to  the  city  to  sell  meat  and  green  produce,  was  a 
sight  of  an  early  morning  which  no  traveler  ever  missed.

SOUTHEAST  CORNER  OF  THIRD  AND  MARKET  STREETS 

The  neighborhood  of  Third  and  Market  Streets  is  rich  in  historic  interest. 
Within  a  few  blocks  is  the  State  House  or  Independence  Hall,  on  Chestnut  Street 
between  Fifth  and  Sixth  Streets,  the  birthplace  of  American  Liberty,  wherein  the 
delegates  from  the  American  Colonies  met  and  issued  the  Declaration  of  Independ- 
ence ;  passed  on  July  4,  1776,  it  was  publicly  proclaimed  in  Independence  Square 
on  July  8.  In  this  building,  the  Liberty  Bell  is  carefully  preserved.  The  bell  was 
cast  in  1752  for  the  Pennsylvania  State  House,  bearing  the  inscription  "Proclaim 
liberty  throughout  all  the  land  unto  all  the  inhabitants  thereof."  In  a  tiny  house 
(still  standing),  on  Arch  Street  near  Third,  lived  Betsy  Ross,  who  is  said  to  have 
been  employed  by  Washington  in  May,  1776,  to  make  the  sample  flag  with  thirteen 
stripes  and  thirteen  stars  which  was  adopted  as  our  national  flag  by  Congress  on 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         15 

June  14,  1777.  On  the  corner  of  Sixth  and  Market  Streets  stood  the  house  of  Rob- 
ert Morris,  financier  of  the  Revolution,  and  next  to  this,  the  mansion  used  by  Lord 
Howe  during  the  British  occupation,  and  later  President  Washington's  residence.

In  1821,  within  three  or  four  blocks  of  Third  and  Market  Streets,  a  large  majority 
of  the  sixty-eight  founders  of  the  College  were  in  business. 

With  the  advance  of  the  market  houses  west  on  High  Street,  that  thoroughfare 
was  abandoned  as  a  place  of  residence  by  the  opulent  and  fashionable.*    Now  the 

*  Paulson's  Advertiser  of  May  11,  1822,  stated  that  "The  extension  of  the  market  house 
on  High,  as  far  as  Eighth  Street,  is  calculated  to  prove  a  great  convenience  to  the  inhabitants 
of  the  western  section  of  the  city.  It  would  be  well  worth  the  attention  of  two  or  three  re- 
spectable growers  of  vegetables  to  take  stalls  at  the  western  end  of  the  market  for  the  supply 
of  the  citizens  who  are  now  obliged  either  to  purchase  those  articles  of  second  hand  dealers 
or  extend  their  walk  several  squares  to  the  old  stands.  It  would  also  be  an  accommodation 
if  in  the  same  section  of  the  market  those  articles  usually  procured  of  the  Jersey  people  were 
exposed  for  sale.  Clams,  crabs,  etc.,  are  among  the  supplies  wanted  in  that  quarter." 


16         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

more  fastidious  families  founded  their  homes  in  the  vicinity  of  Third  and  Spruce 
Streets.  The  "smart  quarter"  was  spreading  on  this  line  west  to  Broad  Street,  the 
beginning  of  a  well  known  tradition  that  those  who  would  have  social  position  in 
the  city  must  reside  within  definite  boundaries  south  of  Market  Street. 

The  sidewalks  were  chiefly  of  red  brick,  made  since  the  earliest  day  from  the 
clay  upon  which  the  city  was  set.    It  was  the  "Red  City,"  as  Dr.  S.  Weir  Mitchell 


CHRIST  CHURCH 

Wherein    Washington.    Adams,    Franklin   and   other    American    Patriots    worshipped.

named  it  a  hundred  years  later  in  one  of  his  historical  romances.  White  marble 
steps,  often  with  hand  wrought  iron  railings,  led  up  to  the  front  doors,  whose  hand- 
some Georgian  panels,  like  the  rest  of  the  wood  work,  were  usually  painted  white. 
The  kitchen  and  laundry  in  the  typical  Philadelphia  home  were  placed  in  the  "back 
buildings."  All  was  kept  immaculately  clean.  Not  a  traveler  to  the  city  who  did 
not  remark  upon  the  careful  washing  of  the  steps  and  pavements  by  the  servants 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         17 

in  each  well  managed  household.  Along  many  of  the  streets,  Lombardy  poplars, 
introduced  into  the  city  from  England  by  William  Hamilton  of  the  "Woodlands," 
and  other  trees,  had  been  planted  to  create  a  pleasant  impression  of  openness,  cool- 
ness and  rusticity. 

The  Quaker  portion  of  the  population  was  a  factor  of  importance  in  Philadel- 
phia's life.  By  reason  of  their  wealth  and  position  they  gave  character  to  much 
that  proceeded  within  the  city,  and  although  outnumbered  by  families  of  other  re- 
ligious interests  and  attachments,  they  had  put  an  indelible  stamp  upon  the  com- 
munity. They  controlled  and  directed  many  a  large  business,  many  a  financial  in- 
stitution, many  a  school,  many  another  private  or  public  enterprise.  They  had 
prominent  places  in  the  drug  trade,  and  a  number  of  the  men  who  were  of  the 
greatest  value  to  the  College  in  its  early  history  were  of  Quaker  training  and  an- 
cestry, even  if  not  active  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends. 

Pharmacy  in  1821 

In  England,  from  whence  came  our  physicians  and  apothecaries,  the  apothe- 
caries had  been  separated  from  the  grocers  by  a  charter  obtained  from  James  I  in 
1615 ;  later,  by  an  act  made  perpetual  during  the  reign  of  George  I,  their  rights  and 
privileges  were  extended,  and  they  were  obligated  to  compound  their  medicines  by 
the  formulas  of  the  Dispensatory  of  the  College  of  Physicians  of  London. 

In  the  nature  of  the  case,  the  conditions  in  America,  far  from  the  marts  of  the 
world,  sparsely  populated,  newly  settled,  were  distinctly  worse  than  in  England. 
The  circumstances  under  which  the  colonists  had  begun  their  life  on  this  continent 
made  it  difficult  to  obtain  physicians  save  only  in  large  towns.  At  first  preachers, 
while  they  traveled  from  settlement  to  settlement  to  comfort  the  sick  spiritually, 
often  administered  medicines.  They  could  apply  ointments  and  plasters,  dress  a 
wound  and  dose  a  suffering  creature  with  calomel,  ipecac,  jalap  and  tartar  emetic. 
Mothers  kept  for  their  children  a  variety  of  household  remedies,  knowledge  about 
which  had  been  handed  down  from  generation  to  generation.  Neighbor  nursed 
neighbor  in  illness.  There  was  a  midwife  for  lying  in  patients.  Each  community 
was  likely  to  have  some  matron  who  would  gather,  sell  and  prescribe  "yarbs,"  and 
a  man  more  deft  or  perhaps  only  more  audacious  than  his  neighbor,  who  would 
cup  and  bleed,  or  draw  an  aching  tooth.  Jimson  weed  was  smoked  in  a  pipe  for 
asthma.  Pokeberries,  when  ripe  and  the  juice  dried  in  the  sun,  were  made  into 
a  plaster  for  cancer.  Sour  dock  root  was  made  into  an  ointment  for  tetter.  Cat- 
mint tea  was  used  for  colic ;  sassafras  root  as  a  purifier  of  the  blood ;  grape  vine 
sap  to  make  the  hair  grow;  boneset  for  consumption.  From  a  few  boxes  or  jars  in 
a  corner  of  a  general  store,  customers  might  be  supplied  with  Glauber's  salt,  cream 
of  tartar,  mustard,  flowers  of  sulphur,  and  castor  oil. 

Where  there  were  physicians,  they  were  at  best  not  very  skilled  advisers.  The 
science  of  medicine  was  of  slow  growth  and  schools  for  the  training  of  physicians 
were  few  even  in  Europe.  The  whole  healing  art  continued  in  this  country,  as  in 
the  Old  World,  to  be  confused  with  a  mass  of  credulity  and  superstition  which 
could  be  only  slowly  dispelled  from  the  popular  mind.  Tales  of  cures  passed  from 
tongue  to  tongue.  When  newspapers  appeared  they  gave  currency  to  many  an 
account  of  miracles  wrought  by  preposterous  methods,  as  did  the  almanacs. 


1 8         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

What  men  would  believe  about  the  value  of  some  recommended  remedy  was 
almost  without  limit.  This  or  that  foolish  method  of  healing  the  sick,  the  halt  and 
the  blind,  of  relieving  physical  distress  of  whatever  nature,  of  saving  life,  would 
be  eagerly  tried.  Rubbing  wens  with  dead  toads,  warding  off  disease  by  burying 
a  piece  of  flitch  under  the  eaves  of  a  house,  treatment  with  the  thighbone  of  a  man 
who  had  been  hanged,  vipers'  tongues,  urine,  dung,  calculi,  the  brains  of  this  and 
that  animal,  the  head  of  a  coal  black  cat  burnt  to  ashes  in  a  new  pot  which  was  to 
be  blown  into  the  eye  for  cataract,  rattlesnake  poison  mixed  with  cheese  formed 
into  pills  for  palsy  and  rheumatism,  spider's  web  for  fever  and  ague,  and  sixty 
things  as  senseless  as  these  taken  together  and  mixed  into  some  mess,  distinguished 
an  age  which  was  as  yet  unacquainted  with  chiropractic  or  Christian  Science.  In 
no  field  was  there  so  inviting  an  opportunity  for  the  charlatan.  The  man  who  had 
enough  self  assertion  for  the  part  might  peddle  any  recipe  from  town  to  town 
and  reap  a  profit  by  his  audacity.  A  bone  or  a  stone  would  do  for  many — any  sick 
man,  or  a  friend  of  the  sick  could  be  induced  to  part  with  money  for  mixtures,  the 
secrets  of  which  had  been  begged  or  stolen  from  the  Chinese,  the  Arabians  or  the 
American  Indians. 

At  the  very  moment  the  College  was  being  formed  in  Philadelphia,  an  "Indian 
Physician"  was  stationed  at  Center  Square  where  he  advertised  that  he  would  cure 
all  diseases  which  are  curable  in  their  nature  and  state.  "Three  years'  practice  in 
the  city,"  he  declared,  "had  furnished  ample  testimonials  of  the  superiority  of  the 
real  Indian  practice  over  all  other  medical  practice  in  this  country."  The  "strictest 
attention"  would  be  paid  to  those  who  would  be  pleased  to  call  upon  the  man,  the 
poor  being  treated  "in  all  cases  gratis."  (Union,  March  2,  1821.)  Another  prac- 
titioner of  the  same  school  established  himself  in  South  Street  between  Sixth  and 
Seventh  Streets,  where  he  nattered  himself  that  he  would  be  enabled  "under  Provi- 
dence to  effect  cures  by  means  of  herbs  and  roots  for  all  diseases  incident  to  human- 
ity." (Ibid.,  Oct.  10/1821.) 

It  was  not  far  to  go  from  the  hair  of  a  dog  to  cure  its  bite  and  a  dung  plaster 
for  a  wound  or  an  ache  to  the  pills  and  swills  of  the  patent  medicine  man.  Nostrums 
are  supported  by  the  same  psychology,  but  the  one  of  secret  composition,  the  names 
and  nature  of  whose  ingredients  are  sedulously  concealed,  is  the  more  insidious,  on 
which  account,  as  the  maker  and  vendor  knows,  they  are  certain  to  yield  him  the 
greater  income.  The  very  mystery  surrounding  their  manufacture  makes  it  the 
more  possible  for  him  to  play  upon  popular  credulity.  He  was  early  on  the  ground. 
His  "sovereign  remedy"  or  "sure  specific"  would  be  accompanied  by  a  list  of 
three-score  diseases,  which  it  was  "warranted"  to  cure.  Supplied  with  the  King's 
patent,  signed,  sealed  and  delivered  in  the  presence  of  the  proprietor,  who  added 
his  autograph  to  the  wrapper  in  attestation  of  the  genuineness  of  the  mixture,  with 
the  endorsement  of  the  "whole  eminent  faculty,"  and  signed  testimonials  of  cures 
from  fictitious  persons,  or  if  not  fictitious,  from  men  whose  statements  of  approba- 
tion were  forged,  the  situation  was  one  to  disturb — if  not  disgust — scientific  men. 

The  Old  English  "patent  medicines"  were  as  familiar  as  laudanum  and  castor 
oil.  What  they  were  and  the  purpose  they  served  were  generally  known  and  recog- 
nized. But  there  were  scores  of  new  medicines  to  which  the  most  astounding  cura- 
tive powers  were  ascribed  and  which  every  day  were  touted  everywhere. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy          19 

The  most  audacious  and  industrious  distributor  of  secret  medicines  in  Phila- 
delphia at  this  time  was  Dr.  T.  W.  Dyott,  who  had  a  large  "wholesale  and  retail 
drug  and  family  medicine  warehouse"  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Second  and  Race 
Streets.  No  one  in  the  city,  no  one  in  the  United  States,  carried  on  so  considerable 
a  business  in  panaceas.  The  announcements  of  his  remedies  and  the  certificates  of 
his  cures  half  filled  a  page,  day  after  day,  in  the  Aurora,  the  Democratic  Press  and 
other  newspapers,  which  he  used  in  bringing  his  name  to  the  attention  of  the  peo- 
ple. The  picture  of  his  large  store  with  Conestoga  wagons  drawn  up  around  it, 
to  carry  his  medicines  to  suffering  mankind  in  the  South  and  West,  was  familiar 
to  everyone.  Furthermore,  he  was  an  agent  for  several  glass  manufacturers,  bought 
old  bottles,  lime  and  cordwood,  made  bottles  in  Kensington,  dealt  in  garden  seeds, 
paints,  dyers'  supplies,  chemical  and  pharmaceutical  apparatus,  butter  pots,  snuff, 
chewing  tobacco,  mustard,  chocolate,  lard,  ham,  brandy,  gin,  sugar  plums  and  cow- 
skin  whips. 

He  had  "approved  family  medicines  which  are  celebrated  for  the  cure  of  most 
diseases  to  which  the  human  body  is  liable,  prepared  only  by  the  sole  proprietor." 
Agents  in  New  York,  New  Orleans,  Cincinnati  and  in  all  parts  of  the  country  aided 
him  in  the  distribution  of  his  products.  He  would  furnish  his  remedies  to  the  "la- 
boring poor  at  one-half  the  usual  prices."  What  he  could  not  sell  he  would  barter 
for  rosin,  turpentine,  lamp  black,  beeswax,  cheese,  rye  and  apple  whisky,  peach 
brandy,  pearl  ash,  flax  seed,  bristles,  rags,  logwood,  mackerel,  shad  and  real  estate 
in  and  near  Philadelphia. 

Dyott  said  that  he  was  a  grandson  of  a  certain  Dr.  Robertson  of  Edinburgh 
whose  "celebrated"  compounds  he  was  dispensing  in  America.  But  he  also  mixed 
medicines  to  which  he  attached  his  own  name  and  sold  the  products  of  other  quacks. 
He  offered  with  a  great  flourish  of  language  in  the  gazettes,  day  by  day,  "Robert- 
son's Stomachic  Elixir  of  Health,"  alleged  to  cure  anything,  from  a  cough  to  dysen- 
tery; "Robertson's  Vegetable  Nervous  Cordial,  or  Nature's  Grand  Restorative," 
intended  to  dispel  all  nervous  disorders,  as  well  as  gleet,  syphilis,  barrenness,  scurvy 
and  diseases  arising  from  the  immoderate  use  of  tea ;  "Robertson's  Gout  and  Rheu- 
matic Drops,"  to  be  taken  for  gout,  rheumatism,  the  stone,  scalds,  cramps,  chil- 
blains, fever  and  ague  and  a  half  hundred  other  complaints ;  "Robertson's  Infallible 
Worm  Destroying  Lozenges"  which  might  be  given  to  the  "youngest  infant."  A 
million  persons  had  been  cured  by  these  nostrums,  Dyott  was  not  ashamed  to  claim 
over  his  own  name  on  the  bottles  and  boxes  containing  his  medicine  and  in  the 
newspapers  of  Philadelphia,  day  by  day.  in  1821. 

Hardly  less  persistent  as  an  advertiser  of  remedies  was  Abraham  Small,  a 
bookseller  who  had  a  store  on  Chestnut  Street  nearly  opposite  the  United  States 
Bank.  He  was  the  agent  for  "Hahn's  Anti-Bilious  Pills,"  a  sovereign  preventive 
of  bilious  and  yellow  fevers,  dyspepsia,  depravity  of  appetite,  nausea,  flatulency, 
stomach  pain  and  constipation.  These  were  particularly  recommended  to  seamen 
starting  out  on  long  voyages  who  thus  might  medicate  themselves  for  whatever 
ailment  might  overtake  them  wherever  they  happened  to  be.  Small  also  sold  "Ham- 
ilton's Worm  Destroying  Lozenges."  Any  one  having  bad  breath,  corrupt  gums, 
an  itching  nose,  epileptic  fits,  grinding  of  the  teeth  in  sleep,  irregular  appetite,  fetid 
stools,  large  and  hard  belly,  and  worms,  should  resort  to  the  use  of  these  lozenges. 


2O         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

"Hamilton's  Grand  Restorative"  was  "invaluable"  for  the  speedy  relief  and  perma- 
nent cure  "of  nervous  disorders,  constipation,  impure  blood,  hysteria,  cramps,  gout, 
inward  debility  and  indigestion."  "Hahn's  Genuine  Eye  Water"  would  cure  all 
eye  diseases.  The  "Genuine  Persian  Lotion"  would  remove  freckles,  scurfs,  tetters 
and  ring  worms. 

Many  a  doctor  and  druggist  was  lending  his  name  to  the  patent  medicine  traffic 
for  the  money  there  was  in  it,  but  out  of  the  welter  of  superstition,  ignorance  and 
fraud,  a  professional  feeling  was  being  developed  among  physicians  and  it  was  now 
on  the  point  of  embracing  the  apothecaries. 

At  first  physicians  had  been  their  own  apothecaries.  They  were  such  yet  ex- 
cept in  the  larger  towns  and  cities.  They  directly  imported  their  own  medicines 
from  London  with  the  aid  of  such  supplies  as  might  be  found  in  the  hands  of  deal- 
ers in  Philadelphia,  Baltimore,  New  York,  Boston,  and  Charleston.  Each  vendor 
of  drugs  was  likely  to  have  a  characteristic  sign.  In  Philadelphia  distinguishing 
signs  of  a  London  character  were  popular  in  the  drug  trade.  Thus,  there  were 
apothecaries  at  the  sign  of  the  Golden  Ball,  the  Golden  Pestle,  the  Bell  and  Dragon, 
the  Mortar  and  Dove,  the  Golden  Heart,  the  Pestle  and  Mortar,  the  Unicorn  and 
Mortar,  the  Blue  Oyntment  and  Galley  Pot,  Hippocrates  Head,  Boerhave's  Head, 
Paracelsus'  Head,  etc.  But  nearly  if  not  all  supplemented  their  stock  of  medicines 
with  paints,  oils,  glass,  plums,  raisins,  figs,  brimstone,  glue,  beeswax  and  a  large 
variety  of  other  merchandise.  (Samuel  Troth,  Amcr.  Jour.  Pliar.,  1905,  423.) 

Any  physician  who  had  gained  a  measure  of  success  in  a  community  sur- 
rounded himself  with  apprentices.  As  the  lawyer  trained  his  own  assistants,  so 
did  the  doctor  take  in  young  men  who  wished  to  prepare  themselves  for  the  "prac- 
tice of  physic."  These  medical  apprentices  became  proficient  in  the  use  of  the  mor- 
tar and  pestle  for  powdering  a  drug,  in  extracting  a  tincture  in  a  kettle  on  the  hearth, 
in  rolling  a  pill  on  a  slab,  and  in  spreading  a  plaster.  It  is  related  that  three  of  the 
apprentices  of  Dr.  Rush  during  the  yellow  fever  epidemic  of  1793  were  employed 
night  and  day  in  putting  up  powders  of  calomel  and  jalap,  or  calomel  and  rhubarb, 
the  remedies  which  he  so  generally  used  in  combating  that  dread  disease.  ("Insti- 
tution and  Progress  of  College  of  Physicians  of  Philadelphia,"  W.  S.  W.  Ruschen- 
berger.) 

Now  and  again  a  physician  would  open  a  little  dispensing  shop  and  offer  his 
preparations  for  sale.  This  was  tended  by  the  apprentices  who  after  five  or  six 
years  of  menial  and  poorly  remunerated  service  might  qualify  themselves  to  engage 
in  the  unregulated  and  unlicensed  business  of  medicating  the  community  on  their 
own  account. 

Separation  of  Pharmacy  from  Medicine 

In  an  illuminating  account  of  "The  Beginnings  of  Pharmacy  in  America," 
M.  I.  Wilbert  (Amer.  Jour.  Pharm.,  1907,  400)  has  stated  that : 

"The  first  record  we  have  of  the  appointment  of  an  apothecary  to  fill  prescriptions  other 
than  his  own  or  those  of  his  preceptor,  is  to  be  found  in  'Some  Account  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Hospital  from  Its  First  Beginning  to  the  Fifth  Month,  called  May,  1754.'  written  by  Benjamin 
Franklin,  then  the  clerk  or  secretary  of  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital. 
In  this  little  pamphlet  we  find  the  following  paragraph  : 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         21 

"  'The  practitioners  charitably  supplied  the  medicines  gratis  till  December,  1752,  when  the 
managers,  having  procured  an  assortment  of  drugs  from  London,  opened  an  apothecary's  shop 
in  the  hospital ;  and  it  being  found  necessary,  appointed  an  apothecary  to  attend  and  make  up 
the  medicines  daily,  according  to  the  prescriptions,  with  an  allowance  of  fifteen  pounds  per 
annum  for  his  care  and  trouble,  he  giving  bond,  with  two  sufficient  sureties  for  the  faithful 
performance  of  his  trust.' 

"Jonathan  Roberts,  who  was  warmly  recommended  by  Dr.  Bond,  was  appointed  as  the 
first  apothecary  to  the  hospital,  and  served  the  institution  faithfully  and  well  until  the  spring 
of  1755,  when  he  resigned  to  accept  more  remunerative  employment. 

"John  Morgan,  who  was  an  apprentice  of  Dr.  John  Redman,  succeeded  as  the  second 
apothecary  at  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital.  He  was  appointed  on  May  19,  1755,  and  served 
until  the  following  spring,  when  he  resigned." 

In  1757  John  Morgan  graduated  from  the  College  of  Philadelphia  (founded 
by  Benjamin  Franklin  about  the  middle  of  the  eighteenth  century),  receiving  a  col- 
legiate degree,  and  in  1760  went  to  Europe  to  complete  his  medical  education. 

In  1765,  having  completed  his  studies  in  London,  Edinburgh  and  Paris,  he  re- 
turned from  Europe  and  "founded  the  first  medical  school  attached  to  any  college 
or  university  in  this  country"  (Edgar  Fahs  Smith) — the  Medical  School  of  the 
College  of  Philadelphia.  The  medical  department  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania was  established  in  1779,  and  in  1791  these  two  medical  schools,  by  act  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Legislature,  were  united  under  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 

In  addition  to  the  part  he  played  so  honorably  as  a  pioneer  in  medical  educa- 
tion in  this  country,  Dr.  John  Morgan,  after  his  residence  in  England,  and  par- 
ticularly in  France,  where  pharmacy  enjoyed  an  early  and  notable  development, 
became  a  spirited  advocate  of  the  separation  of  the  practice  of  pharmacy  from 
medicine.  While  in  Europe  he  wrote,  "I  am  now  preparing  for  America,  to  see 
whether,  after  fourteen  years'  devotion  to  medicine,  I  can  get  my  living  without 
turning  apothecary  or  practitioner  of  surgery."  At  the  very  beginning,  in  his 
"Discourse  Upon  the  Institution  of  Medical  Schools  in  America,"  delivered  at  the 
commencement  of  the  College  of  Philadelphia,  May  30-31,  1765,  he  said  : 

"We  must  regret  that  the  very  different  employment  of  physician,  surgeon  and  apothecary 
should  be  promiscuously  followed  by  any  one  man.  They  certainly  require  very  different 
talents. 

"The  business  of  pharmacy  is  essentially  different  from  either,  free  from  the  cares  of 
both,  the  apothecary  is  to  prepare  and  compound  medicines  as  the  physician  shall  direct. 
Altogether  engaged  in  this,  by  length  of  time,  he  attains  to  that  skill  therein  which  he  could 
never  have  arrived  at  were  his  attention  distracted  by  a  great  variety  of  other  subjects. 

"The  wisdom  of  ages  approved  by  experience,  the  most  certain  test  of  knowledge,  has 
taught  us  the  necessity  and  utility  of  appointing  different  persons  for  these  different  employ- 
ments, and  accordingly  we  find  them  prosecuted  separately  in  every  wise  and  polished  country. 

"The  paying  of  a  physician  for  attendance  and  the  apothecary  for  his  medicines  apart,  is 
certainly  the  most  eligible  mode  of  practice  both  to  the  patient  and  practitioner.  The  apothe- 
cary, then,  who  is  not  obliged  to  spend  his  time  in  visiting  patients,  can  afford  to  make  up 
medicines  at  a  reasonable  price,  and  it  is  as  desirable  as  just  in  itself  that  patients  should 
allow  fees  for  attendance — whatever  it  may  be  thought  to  deserve. 

"They  ought  to  know  what  it  is  they  really  pay  for  their  medicine  and  what  for  medical 
advice  and  attendance." 

Morgan's  recommendations,  however,  did  not  meet  the  approval  of  his  contem- 
poraries. The  drug  store,  when  it  existed  at  all,  was  only  a  warehouse  from  which

Indenture  of  Thomas  Boulton,  1766-1771,  first  apprentice  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital  "to  learn  the  art, 
trade  and  mystery  of  an  apothecary."  (The  indenture  of  John  Morgan,  1755  and  prior,  as  a  medical  ap- 
prentice to  Dr.  John  Redman,  was  probably  similar.)  After  serving  his  apprenticeship,  Boulton  was  given 
his  "one  new  suit  of  apparel,"  and  then  made  (1771)  assistant  apothecary,  and  later  (1773),  apothecary, 
but  resigned  in  a  few  months.

Contract  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital  (1778)  with  the  Continental  Army  for  use  of  its  Elaboratory  "for  the 
purpose   of  preparing  and   compounding  medicines   for   the   use   of  the   Military   Hospitals." 

This  elaboratory   (obs.,  laboratory)  was  built  in  1768.     It  was  seized  and  used  by  the  British  Army  during 

its  occupation  of   Philadelphia.

the  physician  might  obtain  his  supplies ;  druggists  were  mere  warehousemen  and 
dealers.  Not  until  that  picturesque  figure  of  our  medical  history,  Dr.  Abraham 
Chovet,  came  to  the  city  from  Jamaica,  was  there  one  in  town  who  would  adopt  the 
plan  of  writing  prescriptions  for  his  patients.  Dr.  John  Jones  followed,  and  by  the 
end  of  the  eighteenth  century  the  custom  was  rather  general,  not  only  in  Philadel- 
phia, but  in  the  other  cities  of  the  colonies.  The  apothecary  thus  came  to  occupy 
his  own  separate  place  in  the  community,  and  though  as  yet  a  man  of  no  great 
standing,  in  such  a  manner  were  the  foundations  of  pharmacy  established.  ("John 
Morgan,"  M.  I.  Wilbert,  Amer.  Journ.  Phar.,  Jan.,  1904;  "History  of  Medical  De- 
partment of  University  of  Pennsylvania,"  Dr.  Joseph  Carson ;  "Early  History  of 
Medicine  in  Philadelphia,"  Dr.  G.  W.  Norris.)  "The  course  pursued  by  Dr. 
Morgan,"  Dr.  Carson  has  stated,  "may  be  said  to  have  given  the  original  impulse 
to  the  cultivation  of  the  profession  of  pharmacy  and  sanctioned  its  independent 
existence." 


JOHN  MORGAN 
(Reproduction  from  "The  History  of  Medicine  in  the  United  States."     By  Dr.  Francis  R.  Packard) 

M.   I.  Wilbert  has  written  of  John   Morgan    (1735-1789),  the  pharmacist 
physician  ("John  Morgan,"  Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1904,  11),  as  follows: 

"Dr.  Morgan  was  undoubtedly  the  first  teacher  of  the  theory  and  practice  of  medicine, 
materia  medica,  pharmacy  and  pharmaceutical  chemistry  in  America.  That  he  taught  all  of 
these  branches  appears  from  the  announcement  of  the  first  course  of  lectures  in  the  College 
of  Philadelphia,  quoted  from  the  Pennsylvania  Gazette  for  September  26,  1765,  as  follows : 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         25 

"A  course  of  lectures  on  Materia  Medica,  by  John  Morgan,  M.D.,  etc.    Price  four  pistoles. 

"The  course  will  commence  on  the  18th  day  of  November,  and  will  be  given  three  times  a 
week  at  the  college,  at  three  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  till  finished,  which  will  last  between 
three  and  four  months. 

"To  render  these  lectures  as  instructive  as  possible  to  students  of  physic,  the  Doctor  pro- 
poses, in  the  course  of  them,  to  give  some  useful  observations  in  general,  and  the  proper  man- 
ner of  conducting  the  study  of  physic. 

"The  authors  to  be  read  in  materia  medica  will  be  pointed  out.  The  various  substances 
made  use  of  in  medicine  will  be  reduced  under  classes  suited  to  the  principal  indications  in 
the  cure  of  diseases.  Similar  virtues  in  different  plants,  and  their  comparative  powers,  will 
be  treated  of  and  an  inquiry  made  into  the  different  methods  which  have  been  used  in  dis- 
covering the  qualities  of  medicines;  the  virtues  of  the  more  efficacious  will  be  particularly  in- 
sisted upon ;  the  manner  of  preparing  and  combining  them  will  be  shown  by  some  instructive 
lessons  upon  pharmaceutic  chemistry  and  pharmacy.  To  prepare  them  more  effectually  for 
understanding  the  art  of  prescribing  with  elegance  and  propriety,  if  time  allows,  it  is  pro- 
posed to  include  in  this  course  some  critical  lectures  upon  the  chief  preparations  contained  in 
the  Dispensatories  of  the  Royal  College  at  London  and  Edinburgh.  The  whole  will  be  illus- 
trated by  many  useful  and  practical  observations  on  diseases,  diet  and  medicines." 

This  rather  comprehensive  announcement  was  followed  in  1766  by  another, 
which  read  in  part : 

"A  course  of  lectures  on  the  'Theory  and  Practice  of  Physic'  will  be  delivered  for  the 
benefit  of  Medical  Students,  with  a  preparatory  course  of  Botany,  Chemistry  and  Materia 
Medica,  being  the  substance  of  a  set  of  lectures  delivered  to  his  pupils  last  winter." 

That  Morgan  had  been  the  acknowledged  teacher  of  chemistry  in  the  Medical 
School  of  the  College  of  Philadelphia  would  also  appear  from  the  following  letter, 
written  by  Dr.  Rush,  as  an  application  for  the  chair  of  chemistry : 

"GENTLEMEN.  As  the  professorship  of  chemistry  which  Dr.  Morgan  has  sometime  sup- 
plied is  vacant,  I  beg  to  offer  myself  as  a  candidate  for  it. 

"Should  you  think  proper  to  honor  me  with  the  chair,  you  may  depend  upon  my  doing 
anything  that  lies  within  my  power  to  discharge  the  duties  of  a  professor,  and  to  promote  the 
reputation  and  interests  of  your  college. 

"I  have  the  honor  to  be,  with  the  greatest  respect, 

"Your  most  obedient  humble  servant, 

"BENJ.  RUSH." 
"Philadelphia,  Jujy  31,  1769." 

Dr.  Morgan  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  first  medical  society  in  the  Prov- 
ince. This  was  the  "Philadelphia  Medical  Society,"  organized  February  4,  1765. 
Several  years  later  this  society  was  united  with  the  "American  Society  for  Promot- 
ing Useful  Knowledge,"  and  this,  in  1769,  was  united  with  the  Philosophical  Society 
to  form  the  "American  Philosophical  Society." 

Benjamin  Franklin  (1706-1790),  the  printer  philosopher,  "venerated  for 
benevolence,  admired  for  talents,  esteemed  for  patriotism,  beloved  for  philanthropy" 
(Washington),  has  left  the  impress  of  his  genius  on  practically  every  phase  of  our 
present  day  existence.  Probably  the  most  important  and  far  reaching  contribution 


26         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

he  made  to  the  progress  of  medicine  in  America,  was  his  markedly  efficient  work 
in  the  development  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital,  established  in  1751,  the  first 
public  hospital  of  this  country;*  in  addition,  he  was  a  publisher  of  medical  literature. 

M.  I.  Wilbert  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1906,  217)  has  written: 

"Benjamin  Franklin  appears  to  have  been  one  of  the  first,  if  not  the  first,  publisher  of 
medical  books  and  pamphlets  in  the  British  Colonies.  As  early  as  1734  he  published  an  edi- 
tion of  'Poor  Planter's  Physician,'  under  the  title  of  'Every  Man  His  Own  Doctor,  or  the  Poor 
Planter's  Physician,'  prescribing  'plain  and  easy  means  for  persons  to  cure  themselves  of  all

or  most  of  the  distempers  incident  to  this  climate,  and  with  very  little  charge,  the  medicines 
being  chiefly  of  the  growth  and  production  of  this  country.'  This  book  was  probably  written 
by  John  Tennent  and  originally  printed  at  Williamsburg.  It  was  subsequently  reprinted  in 
several  forms  and  also  translated  into  German. 

"Among  other  medical  publications  from  the  press  of  Benjamin  Franklin  we  find : 
"  'An  Essay  on  the  Iliac  Passion,'  by  Dr.  Cadwallader  Golden,  in  1741. 
"  'An  Essay  on  the  West  India  Dry  Gripes,  with  the  method  of  preventing  and  curing  that 
cruel  distemper,'  by  Dr.  Thomas  Cadwalader,  1745. 


*  The  first  dispensary  for  the  free  distribution  of  medicines  to  the  poor  in  this  country, 
was  the  Philadelphia  Dispensary,  founded  in  1786,  and  recently  (1922)  merged  with  the 
Pennsylvania  Hospital.  It  was  first  opened  in  a  building  rented  from  Christopher  Marshall,  and 
has  rendered  137  years  of  splendid  humanitarian  service  built  upon  the  policy  that  "the  sick 
may  be  relieved  in  a  manner  perfectly  consistent  with  those  noble  feelings  of  the  human  heart 
which  are  inseparable  from  virtuous  poverty,  and  in  a  manner  agreeable  to  those  refined 
precepts  of  Christianity  which  inculcate  secrecy  in  acts  of  charity  and  benevolence."

"  'A  letter  to  a  friend ;  Containing  remarks  on  a  discourse  proposing  a  preparation  of  the 
body  for  the  small  pox.  And  the  manner  of  receiving  the  infection,'  by  Dr.  John  Kearsley, 
1751. 

"  'Medicinae  Britannica.'  'To  which  Mr.  John  Bartram  has  added  a  preface,  notes,  and 
an  appendix  containing  a  description  of  a  number  of  plants  peculiar  to  America,  their  uses, 
virtues,  etc:  ;  also  printed  in  1751. 

"Throughout  his  long  and  varied  career  Benjamin  Franklin  appears  to  have  had  a  predi- 
lection for  the  friendship  of  medical  men.  In  addition  to  the  brothers,  Thomas  and  Phineas 
Bond,  Benjamin  Franklin  probably  counted  as  friend  or  correspondent  every  prominent  medi- 
cal man  in  the  British  Colonies.  In  Great  Britain  itself  Franklin's  friends  were  numerous 
and  influential.  He  was  on  intimate  terms  with  such  prominent  men  as  John  Fothergill,  Sir 
William  Watson,  Sir  John  Pringle,  William  Heberdeen,  William  Hewson,  Thomas  Percival, 
William  Cullen  and  Joseph  Black.  In  France  and  on  the  Continent  of  Europe,  Franklin  was 
known  to,  if  not  by,  every  prominent  medical  man  who  was  in  any  way  interested  in  the 
progress  of  the  general  sciences. 

''Through  this  wide  and  varied  acquaintance  with  medical  men  of  all  parts  of  the  civil- 
ized world  Franklin  was  able  to,  and  did,  assist  a  number  of  American  students  of  medicine 
who  had  gone  to  Europe  to  complete  their  medical  education.  Not  the  least  noteworthy  of 
these  several  students  was  John  Morgan,  a  son  of  Evan  Morgan,  a  merchant  of  Welsh  descent, 
who  had  been  a  friend  and  neighbor  of  Benjamin  Franklin,  and  had  also  been  associated  with 
him  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital. 

"John  Morgan,  after  serving  as  an  apprentice  in  the  office  of  Dr.  John  Redman,  was  ap- 
pointed and  served  one  year  as  the  second  apothecary  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital ;  Morgan 
subsequently  went  to  Europe,  where,  largely  through  the  kindly  assistance  of  Benjamin  Frank- 
lin, who  was  then  residing  in  Europe  as  the  agent  of  the  Pennsylvania  Colony,  he  was  brought 
in  contact  with  and  permitted  to  study  under  the  leading  men  of  the  medical  profession  in 
London,  and  later  in  Edinburgh.  It  was  no  doubt  due  to  his  associations  in  the  latter  city 
that  Morgan  was  led  to  conceive  the  idea  of  forming  a  medical  school  in  connection  with  the 
College  of  Philadelphia,  and  at  the  same  time  to  attempt  to  introduce  the  then  novel  practice 
of  writing  prescriptions  and  of  having  them  compounded  and  dispensed  by  a  regularly  edu- 
cated apothecary. 

"The  medical  school  founded  by  Morgan,  in  addition  to  acting  as  an  incentive  for  the 
establishment  of  other  schools,  has  itself  taken  a  most  important  part  in  the  progress  of  the 
science  of  medicine  in  this  country,  and  was  also  the  direct  incentive  that  led  to  the  establish- 
ment of  schools  of  pharmacy. 

"Altogether  it  may  be  said  of  Benjamin  Franklin  that  in  matters  medical,  as  in  matters 
political  or  scientific,  he  was,  as  a  rule,  far  ahead  of  his  contemporaries,  either  as  the  origina- 
tor of  ideas  and  innovations,  the  disseminator  of  useful  knowledge,  or  the  promoter  and  the 
champion  of  practices  and  teachings  which  his  foresight  and  experience  had  taught  him  to  be 
useful  and  beneficial.  He  was  one  of  the  foremost  men  of  his  age,  and  with  the  passing  of 
years  his  true  merit  and  worth  will  be  more  and  more  appreciated." 

At  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  War,  there  were,  perhaps,  twenty  apothecary 
shops  in  Philadelphia,  but  none  had  the  position  which  was  held  by  Marshall's  drug 
store  at  the  sign  of  the  Golden  Ball.  For  many  years,  says  the  enlightened  Daniel 
B.  Smith,  who  had  so  many  ideals  for  the  pharmacist  and  threw  so  much  light  in 
writing  and  speech  upon  the  history  of  pharmacy  in  Philadelphia,  this  was  the  only 
shop  at  which  the  physician  was  certain  of  securing  good  drugs  and  other  medical 
supplies  and  of  having  his  prescriptions  properly  prepared.  (Daniel  B.  Smith, 
Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  Jan.,  1830,  255.) 

Christopher  Marshall,  the  founder  of  the  Marshall  drug  store,  was  born  in 
Dublin,  Ireland,  in  1709,  and  after  emigrating  to  this  country  was  for  some  years 
a  resident  of  Bucks  County,  Pa.,  and  a  member  of  the  Middletown  Monthly  Meet- 


28         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

ing.  He  then  came  to  Philadelphia,  and  first  established  himself  in  the  drug  busi- 
ness in  1729,  at  Front  and  Chestnut  Streets.  In  1735  he  purchased  a  property  on 
the  south  side  of  Chestnut  Street  west  of  Second  (present  number  214),  where  he 
continued  the  business.  He  was  a  remarkable  man  in  his  day  and  filled  many  posi- 
tions of  honor  and  trust  in  our  infant  city.  Though  his  principles  as  a  Friend  for- 
bade it,  he  earnestly  espoused  the  cause  of  the  colonists,  and  with  other  militants 
seceded  from  the  Society  of  Friends  to  build  and  support  "The  Free  Quaker  Meet-

ing  House,"  still  standing  at  the  corner  of  Fifth  and  Arch  Streets.  His  "Remem- 
brancer," or  Diary  of  the  Revolution,  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  and  important 
of  the  contemporary  records  of  the  period  covering  the  War  of  Independence. 
Christopher  Marshall,  Jr.,  and  Charles  Marshall,  his  sons,  became  his  partners  in 
1765,  and  succeeded,  in  1772,  to  the  business,  and,  later,  the  latter  became  the  active 
manager. 

Charles  Marshall  was  an  apothecary,  druggist,  botanist  and  chemist.  In  his 
laboratories  he  manipulated  his  materials  with  knowledge  and  skill  and  won  the 
highest  confidence  and  esteem  of  the  leading  physicians  of  the  city,  whose  friend 
and  associate  he  became.  The  cause  of  his  success  was  his  "strict  integrity,  his 
scrupulous  accuracy  and  his  patient  attention."  (Daniel  B.  Smith,  Jour.  Phila.  Coll. 
Phar.,  Jan.,  1830,  255-6.) 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         29 

Charles  Marshall  retired  from  active  participation  in  the  business  in  1801,  the 
firm  continuing,  but  unfortunately  he  retained  his  interest,  and  when,  a  few  years 
later  (1804),  the  firm  became  insolvent  by  lending  its  endorsement,  all  concerned 
with  it  were  involved  in  bankruptcy. 

His  eldest  daughter,  Elizabeth  Marshall  (1768-1836)  now  became  the  propri- 
etress of  the  business  and  under  her  skilful  management  it  was  soon  placed  on  a 
sound  financial  basis.  She  was  probably  the  first  American  woman  pharmacist,  and 
continued  to  manage  the  business  until  1825,  when  it  was  sold  to  Charles  Ellis  and 
Isaac  P.  Morris. 


CHARLES  MARSHALL 

Country  doctors  drew  upon  the  Marshall  store  for  their  supplies.  Alert  and 
capable  young  men  stood  behind  the  counters  and  worked  in  the  back  room  mixing 
medicines.  From  six  to  twelve  of  these  were  constantly  employed  and  the  store 
was  a  practical  school  from  which  not  a  few  of  the  city's  ablest  druggists  and 
apothecaries  of  the  time  were  graduated.  Among  these  were  Charles  Ellis  and 
Isaac  P.  Morris,  Dillwyn  Parrish,  prominent  in  business  for  many  years  at  Eighth 
and  Arch  Streets  and  President  of  the  College ;  and  Frederick  Brown,  the  originator 
of  Brown's  Jamaica  Ginger,  who  was  in  business  after  1822  at  the  northeast  corner 
of  Fifth  and  Chestnut  Streets  (an  old  stand  universally  known  as  the  "War  Office," 
because  the  building  had  been  used  during  the  presidencies  of  Washington  and 


30         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Adams  while  Philadelphia  was  the  capitol  of  the  United  States),  and  who  became 
in  time  a  leading  and  wealthy  citizen.  (Amcr.  Jour.  Phar.,  March  and  May,  1864.) 
Another  important  drug  store  of  this  period  was  that  of  John  Speakman  at 
the  northwest  corner  of  Second  and  Market  Streets,  subsequently  Speakman  and 
Say,  and  later  Thatcher  and  Thompson.  It  was  in  the  room  above  this  store  that, 
at  the  suggestion  of  John  Speakman,  apothecary,  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences 
of  Philadelphia  was  founded  on  January  25,  1812,  by  a  group  of  six  persons,  of 
which  John  Speakman  and  Gerard  Troost — later  first  professor  of  chemistry  at  the 
College — were  members. 


ELIZABETH  MARSHALL 

The  title  of  the  institution  was  suggested  on  March  12,  1812,  by  Samuel  Jack- 
son— later  first  professor  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy  at  the  College — who,  how- 
ever, was  not  a  member  of  the  Academy  at  this  time.  Gerard  Troost  was  elected  as 
the  first  president  of  the  Academy.  The  paintings  of  John  Speakman,  Thomas 
Say  and  Gerard  Troost,  original  members,  hang  on  the  walls  of  that  institution.  In 
its  present  buildings  on  the  Parkway  at  Logan  Circle,  the  Academy  has  one  of  the 
largest  natural  history  collections  in  the  country. 

It  is  of  interest  to  add  that  Daniel  Thatcher  and  Isaac  Thompson  who.  as 
Thatcher  and  Thompson,  succeeded  Speakman  and  Say,  became  original  members 
of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1821 ;  and  Thatcher  became,  also,  a 
member  of  the  first  Board  of  Trustees. 

But  as  yet  there  were  few  shops  like  these.  In  many  cases,  in  the  retail  as  well 
as  the  wholesale  stores,  the  sale  of  medicines  in  the  early  part  of  the  nineteenth,  as 
in  the  eighteenth  century,  was  combined  with  trade  in  paints,  varnishes,  oils,  win- 
dow glass,  dyestuffs  and  garden  seeds.  These  heavy  articles  of  merchandise  were 
distributed  by  the  same  hands  from  which  a  customer  received  rhubarb,  magnesia 
and  calomel. 

Manufacture  of  Pharmaceuticals 

An  evolution,  however,  was  taking  place.  Those  who  had  been  rolling  pills, 
spreading  plasters,  powdering  drugs  in  mortars,  handling  sieves,  working  screw- 
presses,  filling  jars  with  extracts  and  cerates,  bottling  castor  oil,  opodeldoc,  God- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         31 

frey's  Cordial,  British  Oil  and  the  Old  English  "patent  medicines,"  trimming  heif- 
ers' teats  to  be  put  in  alcohol  for  use  on  the  mouths  of  nursing  bottles,  before  there 
were  rubber  nipples  for  this  purpose,  and  doing  much  more  for  their  own  customers 
in  their  back  rooms,  made  more  than  they  required  for  their  own  needs,  and  sold 
the  surplus  to  other  retailers.  This  was  the  beginning  of  the  manufacturing  of 
Pharmaceuticals  in  our  country  which  in  the  course  of  time  made  Philadelphia  the 
leading  center  for  such  trade. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  held  in  College  Hall 
on  Zane  Street  in  September,  1864,  Samuel  F.  Troth  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1874, 
392)  referred  to  the  conditions  of  pharmacy  in  Philadelphia  before  the  establish- 
ment of  the  College,  stating  that : 

"Epsom  salts  was  very  little  used  when  I  was  an  apprentice ;  we  used  to  purchase  from 
20  to  40  pounds  of  Glauber  at  a  time,  at  2J4  cents  per  pound,  while  we  would  only  buy  a 
single  keg  of  Epsom,  holding  about  25  pounds,  at  15  cents.  The  first  really  nice  Epsom  salts 
I  recollect  having  in  our  store,  was  the  year  the  College  was  organized ;  John  Farr,  the  noted 
chemist,  was  going  to  pay  a  visit  to  his1  friends  in  London,  and  offered  to  make  some  pur- 
chases for  us,  and  one  of  the  articles  in  that  first  importation  of  our  house  was  two  casks, 
1190  pounds  of  beautiful  Epsom  salts,  at  a  cost  here  of  7  cents  per  pound,  which  was  so  much 
in  demand  by  the  retailers  that  we  increased  our  orders,  until  the  Baltimore  manufacturers 
put  a  stop  to  our  importations  of  the  article.  Super,  carb.  soda,  which  has  been  such  a  com- 
mon and  universally  used  article  of  later  years,  was  hardly  ever  seen  when  I  was  learning  the 
business;  I  think  the  first  we  had  in  our  store  was  purchased  from  Farr  and  Kunzi  at  $1.25 
per  pound,  in  1821,  when  we  paid  them  the  same  price  for  tartaric  acid. 

"I  attended  the  first  and  second  courses  of  lectures  of  this  institution,  and  should  have 
applied  for  the  diploma  had  there  been  any  such  prize  to  have  been  obtained,  but  the  College 
did  not  even  decide  upon  the  form  of  diploma  until  I  had  been  in  business  for  myself  between 
three  and  four  years. 

"Forty  years  ago,  all  the  calcined  magnesia  we  sold  was  burned  in  Abram  Miller's  pot- 
tery, opposite  this  building,  where  the  public  school  now  stands ;  we  used  to  take  a  case  of 
English  carb.  magnesia,  pick  out  some  of  the  nicest  and  hardest  lumps,  and  pack  the  balance 
in  earthen  crocks  procured  from  the  pottery,  and  send  them  around  to  be  put  in  the  kiln  when 
Miller  burned  his  ware." 

Manufacture  of  Medicinal  Chemicals 

Probably  the  first  to  manufacture  chemicals  in  this  country  was  the  firm  of 
Christopher,  Jr.,  and  Charles  Marshall  who,  as  early  as  1786,  extensively  made 
muriate  of  ammonia  and  Glauber's  salt  at  their  laboratory  on  North  Third  Street 
near  the  stone  bridge  over  the  Cohocksink  Creek,  and  later,  other  chemicals. 

In  1818  John  Farr,  of  London,  and  Abraham  Kunzi,  of  Switzerland,  associated 
themselves  as  manufacturing  chemists.  Located  at  first  on  the  corner  of  Arch  and 
Twelfth  Streets,  they  moved  in  1820  to  the  south  side  of  Coates  Street  (now 
Fairmount  Avenue),  above  Fourth.  Kunzi's  retirement  from  the  firm  in  1838, 
brought  forward  two  young  men  who  were  destined  to  become  prominent  figures 
in  the  chemical  world — -Thomas  H.  Powers,  trained  in  Smith  and  Hodgson's  store 
for  a  time  after  Daniel  B.  Smith's  retirement  from  the  business  to  take  a  teaching 
chair  in  Haverford  College,  a  partner  of  Mr.  Hodgson,  and  Farr's  nephew,  Wil- 
liam Weightman.  With  them,  Mr.  Farr  formed  the  new  firm  of  John  Farr  and 
Company,  and  the  factories  were  extended.  They  moved  in  1839  to  Ninth  and 
Brown  Streets.  In  1841  the  firm  name  was  changed  to  Farr,  Powers  and  Weight- 


32         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

man,  and  at  Mr.  Farr's  death  in  1847,  to  Powers  and  Weightman.  The  reputa- 
tion of  the  house  grew  rapidly  until  it  became  the  leading  establishment  of  its  kind 
in  the  country  and  probably  in  the  world  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  medicinal 
and  other  chemicals.

LABORATORY  OF  POWERS  AND  WEIGHTMAN,  NINTH  AND  PARR1SH  STREETS— 1850 

The  history  of  the  development  of  the  chemical  industry  of  this  country  would 
be  incomplete  without  reference  to  the  pioneer  work  of  George  D.  Rosengarten. 
The  manufacturing  business  of  the  firm  of  Rosengarten  and  Sons  was  established 
in  1822.  The  original  partners  were  Seitler  and  Zeitler,  the  former  a  Swiss  from 
one  of  the  French  Cantons,  the  latter  a  German  from  Wurzburg.  Shortly  after 
Mr.  Rosengarten  became  a  partner  in  1823,  the  business  commenced  to  develop 
rapidly,  and  the  firm  was  making  quinine  sulphate,  sulphuric  ether,  spirit  of  nitre, 
ammonia  water,  acetic  ether  and  Hoffman's  anodyne.  They  manufactured  mor- 
phine salts  in  1832,  piperine  in  1833,  mercurials  and  strychnine  in  1834,  veratrine 
in  1835,  and  iodide  of  lead,  deuto — and  protoiodide  of  mercury,  iodide  of  iron, 
and  iodide  of  sulphur,  and  codeine,  bismuth  and  silver  salts  in  1836. 

Originally  in  St.  John  Street,  then  on  Arch  Street  above  Twelfth,  then  at 
Broad  and  Vine  Streets,  then  at  Sixteenth  and  Vine  Streets,  and  after  1856,  at  Sev- 


LABORATORY  OF  GEORGE  D.  ROSENGARTEN,  SIXTEENTH  AND  VINE  STREETS— 1836 

enteenth  and  Fitzwater  Streets,  Mr.  Rosengarten,  who  lived  until  1890,  saw  the 
reputation  of  his  house  continuously  grow  with  the  growth  of  the  country  and 
reach  far  beyond  the  borders. 

Like  their  competitors — Powers  and  Weightman — the  excellence  of  the  prod- 
ucts of  Rosengarten  and  Sons  achieved  world  wide  fame,  and  it  was  but  natural, 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         33 

therefore,  that  these  two  pioneer  firms  should  amalgamate,  as  they  did  in  1905,  as 
the  Powers-Weightman-Rosengarten  Company.  Since  then  the  business  has  been 
conducted  by  Harry  B.  Rosengarten  (died  February  19,  1921),  and  his  four  sons, 
Adolph  G.,  George  D.,  Joseph  G.,  Jr.,  and  Frederic. 

John  Farr 

John  Farr  (1791-1847).  Son  of  Edward  and  Ann  (Ward)  Farr.  Born  in  Lincolnshire, 
England.  Early  education  in  England,  being  especially  interested  in  the  study  of  chemistry. 
Came  to  this  country  in  1816,  settling  in  Philadelphia.  For  nearly  thirty  years  he  was  actively 
engaged  in  chemical  manufacture  as  Farr  and  Kunzi,  John  Farr  and  Co.,  and  Farr,  Powers 
and  Weightman,  respectively,  exerting  an  important  influence  upon  the  development  of  this 
industry.  Was  a  lifelong  member  of  St.  Paul's  P.  E.  Church  and  its  warden.  Member  of 
the  College  (1821-1841). 

Thomas  H.  Powers 

Thomas  H.  Powers  (1812-1878).  Born  in  Philadelphia.  Son  of  Thomas  and  Susan 
Powers;  maternal  ancestry,  colonial  families  of  Society  of  Friends.  Early  education  in 
Ludwick  School,  Walnut  Street  above  Sixth.  (Founded  by  Christopher  Ludwick  a  wealthy 
German  citizen,  and  one-time  "Baker-general  to  the  Army  of  the  United  States  during  the 
Revolutionary  War").  Apprenticed  (1828)  to  Daniel  B.  Smith,  later  Smith  and  Hodgson. 
Early  evinced  a  love  of  chemical  science,  making  original  investigations  "On  Tartar  Emetic" 
(1829),  "On  Barium  and  Some  of  the  Salts  of  Protoxide  of  Barium"  (1830),  and  "On  the 
Preparation  of  Iodide  of  Mercury"  (1830).  Studied  French  and  translated  two  elaborate 
papers  by  M.  Robiquet  and  Boutron  Charlard  on  "Bitter  Almonds,  and  Their  Essential  Oils" 
{Journal  of  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  Vol.  IV,  1833,  67).  Became  a  partner  in 
Smith  and  Hodgson  (1834),  and  demonstrated  by  experimental  trial  that  he  could  success- 
fully and  profitably  manufacture  morphine,  and  urged  his  firm  to  embark  in  the  enterprise, 
but  the  firm  refused,  and  a  great  cominercial  opportunity  was  lost  to  Smith  and  Hodgson. 
In  1838,  he  left  Smith  and  Hodgson  and  joined  his  friend,  John  Farr,  in  the  chemical  manu- 
facturing business  on  Coates  Street  (now  Fairmount  Avenue)  above  Fourth,  who  associated 
with  himself  his  nephew,  William  Weightman,  and  Thomas  H.  Powers  under  the  firm  name 
of  John  Farr  and  Co.,  which  firm  became,  later,  Powers  and  Weightman.  Powers  now  de- 
voted all  his  energies  to  his  new  position,  acquiring  complete  mastery  of  the  business  and 
extending  it  greatly.  Was  elected  a  trustee  of  the  College  (1835-1843),  and  secretary  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  but  the  rapidly  increasing  business  of  his  firm  prevented  continued 
active  participation  in  the  work  of  the  College,  and  he  withdrew  officially,  although  his  inter- 
est in  the  College  continued  unabated ;  the  new  channel  into  which  his  energies  were  directed, 
prevented,  also,  subsequent  contributions  of  scientific  work,  in  which  he  took  a  deep  interest 
and  for  which  he  had  peculiar  aptitude.  He  had  an  analytical  mind,  grasping  almost  intui- 
tively the  important  points  of  a  problem,  a  keenly  retentive  memory  for  details,  and  unusual 
initiative.  Inflexibly  outspoken  in  opposition  to  wrong,  in  conduct  or  principle,  he  was  always 
considerate  of  others.  His  contributions  to  charity  were  many  and  increased  with  his  busi- 
ness success,  but  were  known  to  but  few.  The  conscientious  character  of  his  early  manhood 
remained  unchanged.  He  was  singularly  unspoiled  by  success,  as  he  had  been  undaunted  by 
difficulty.  His  whole  life  was  a  bright  example  of  industry,  perseverance,  Christian  faith- 
fulness and  good  works. 

William  Weightman 

William  Weightman  (1813-1904).  Born  in  Waltham,  Lincolnshire,  England.  Came  to 
this  country  in  1829  at  the  solicitation  of  his  uncle,  John  Farr,  and  obtained  employment  with 
Farr  and  Kunzi,  manufacturing  chemists,  which  became,  successively,  John  Farr  and  Com- 
pany, Farr,  Powers  and  Weightman,  and  Powers  and  Weightman,  of  which,  upon  the  death 
of  Thomas  H.  Powers  in  1878,  he  became  the  executive  head.  Tn  1883  Mr.  Weightman  ad- 
mitted into  partnership  his  two  sons,  Dr.  John  Farr  Weightman  and  Dr.  William  Weight-

man,  both  of  whom  died  a  few  years  afterwards.  In  1893  Robert  J.  C.  Walker,  Mr.  Weight- 
man's  son-in-law,  was  admitted  into  the  firm.  Upon  Mr.  Walker's  death  in  1903,  his  wife, 
Anne  M.  Weightman  Walker,  succeeded  to  membership  in  the  firm,  she  being  the  only  daugh- 
ter of  Mr.  Weightman,  and  upon  the  death  of  the  latter,  she  became  the  sole  member  of  the 
firm  until  its  consolidation  with  the  firm  of  Rosengarten  and  Sons  in  1905.  William  Weight- 
man was  a  man  of  unflagging  industry,  eminently  just  in  his  transactions  and  held  to  an 
unusual  degree  the  esteem  and  loyalty  of  his  employees.  Was  elected  a  member  of  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy  in  1856,  and  maintained  an  interest  in  the  work  of  the  institution 
until  his  demise. 

George  D.  Rosengarten 

George  D.  Rosengarten  (1801-1890).  Born  in  Cassel,  Germany,  came  to  the  country  at 
eighteen,  and  in  1821  engaged  in  the  wool  business  in  Philadelphia.  Was  also  a  competent 
accountant,  and  having  the  confidence  of  Seitler  and  Zeitler,  was  employed  to  audit  their 
accounts.  In  1823  became  a  partner  of  Carl  Zeitler,  purchasing  the  interest  of  Seitler,  under 
the  firm  name  of  Zeitler  and  Rosengarten ;  the  next  year  Zeitler  withdrew  from  the  firm,  and 
his  interest  was  bought  by  George  D.  Rosengarten.  In  1840  N.  F.  H.  Denis,  a  young  French- 
man, and  pupil  of  the  famous  chemist  Robiquet,  became  a  partner  and  continued  such  under 
the  firm  name  of  Rosengarten  and  Denis  until  1853,  when  he  withdrew,  and  Samuel  G.  and 
Mitchell  G.,  sons  of  George  D.  Rosengarten,  were  admitted  into  partnership,  and  the  busi- 
ness conducted  as  Rosengarten  and  Sons.  In  1860  Harry  B.  and  Adolph  G.  Rosengarten  be- 
came partners ;  the  latter  was  engaged  in  the  Civil  War.  His  military  career  was  a  short,  but 
brilliant  one.  He  was  killed  at  Murfreesboro,  Tennessee,  on  December  29,  1862,  while  on  a 
cavalry  charge,  being  senior  major  in  command  of  the  15th  Pennsylvania  Cavalry,  and  in  com- 
mand of  the  regiment  in  the  absence  of  its  colonel,  Wm.  J.  Palmer,  engaged  in  other  military 
duty.  George  D.  Rosengarten  retired  from  the  firm  in  1879,  after  fifty-six  years  of  business 
service.  He  died  March  18,  1890,  at  the  age  of  eighty-nine,  after  a  life  of  unusual  activity 
and  usefulness. 

Manufacture  of  Technical  Chemicals 

Some  who  were  not  especially  concerned  with  the  manufacture  of  medicinal 
chemicals  turned  to  the  manufacture  of  technical  chemicals.  As  early  as  1793  John 
Harrison  (son  of  Thomas  Harrison,  a  well-known  Quaker  druggist  of  Philadel- 
phia), the  founder  of  the  house  of  Harrison  Brothers  (recently  amalgamated  with 
E.  I.  du  Pont  de  Nemours  and  Co.,  Inc.),  after  completing  his  scientific  education 
in  Europe  returned  to  Philadelphia  and  began  the  manufacture  of  various  chem- 
icals, notably  sulphuric  acid  made  by  the  lead  chamber  process,  in  a  laboratory  on 
the  north  side  of  Green  Street  west  of  Third.  In  1804  he  erected  a  plant  at  Second 
and  Huntingdon  Streets,  near  Frankford  Road,  Kensington,  continuing  for  a  time 
his  Green  Street  laboratory,  and  a  few  years  later  was  making  one-half  million 
pounds  of  sulphuric  acid  annually.  In  1814  Mr.  Harrison  introduced,  for  the  first 
time  in  this  country,  the  use  of  platinum  for  the  concentration  of  sulphuric  acid. 

As  Samuel  P.  Sadtler  (Amer.  Jour.  Phann..  1921,  201)  has  stated: 

"John  Harrison  was  not  only  the  earliest  successful  manufacturer  of  sulphuric  acid  in 
America,  but  the  first  in  this  country  to  concentrate  it  in  platinum.  Farr  and  Kunzi  were 
next  in  Philadelphia  (1822)  to  follow  the  lead  of  Harrison  in  making  sulphuric  acid,  and 
shortly  afterwards  Wetherill  and  Bros.,  then  (1829)  Chas.  Lennig,  the  founder  of  the  present 
firm  of  Chas.  Lennig  and  Co.,  Inc.,  and  Carter  and  Scattergood  in  1834." 

Nitric  acid  was  made  by  Christopher  Marshall,  Jr.,  at  the  close  of  the  eight- 
eenth century,  and  John  Harrison  began  to  make  both  nitric  and  muriatic  acids  in 


36         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

1804.  Carter  and  Scattergood  followed  in  the  manufacture  of  these  acids,  and  also 
citric  and  tartaric  acids  in  1834.  The  manufacture  of  other  chemicals  then  rapidly 
developed. 

In  1785  Samuel  Wetherill  and  Son  went  into  the  drug  business  on  Front  Street 
above  Arch.  Here,  for  many  years,  "Wetherill's  Drug  Store"  was  a  landmark ;  and 
sons  and  grandson  were  brought  up  to  the  business. 

Like  Charles  Marshall,  Samuel  Wetherill  was  a  Free  or  Fighting  Quaker, 
having  been  expelled  from  the  Society  of  Friends  for  furnishing  clothes  to  the 
patriot  troops,  and  it  is  said  that  his  timely  shipment  of  supplies  to  Washington's 
little  army  at  Valley  Forge  saved  it  from  disbanding — whereupon,  with  other  men 
in  a  like  situation,  he  started  the  Society  called  "Free  or  Fighting  Quakers,"  and 
helped  to  build  "The  Free  Quaker  Meeting  House"  at  the  southwest  corner  of 
Fifth  and  Arch  Streets ;  Washington  and  Franklin  being  among  the  original  con- 
tributors to  its  building  fund.  And  by  a  curious  coincidence,  the  body  of  Franklin 
lies  interred  just  across  the  street  from  "The  Free  Quaker  Meeting  House"  in 
Christ  Church  Cemetery.  The  Meeting  House  was  completed  in  1783  and  from 
this  time  until  the  death  of  Samuel  Wetherill  (1816),  the  meetings  were  attended 
by  the  most  eminent  and  intelligent  people.  Mrs.  Madison,  wife  of  the  President, 
attended  the  meetings,  and  always  referred  to  the  sermons  of  Samuel  Wetherill  as 
most  interesting.  Gradually,  however,  the  Free  Quakers,  never  large  in  number. 
became  fewer,  and  the  Meeting  House  was  finally  closed  in  1835. 

Samuel  Wetherill,  Jr.,  was  evidently  the  active  member  of  the  firm.  The 
Wetherills  imported  white  lead,  paints  and  chemicals  from  London.  They  were 
the  first  manufacturers  of  white  lead  in  this  country,  employing  the  corroding 
process,  and  making  it  before  the  year  1790.  Their  first  white  lead  factory  was 
built  in  1804  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Broad  and  Chestnut  Streets,  but  its  growth 
was  opposed  by  prejudices  against  everything  American,  and  partiality  for  every- 
thing English,  and  by  the  systematic  exertions  of  the  English  manufacturers  to 
suppress  and  keep  down  all  rival  establishments  in  this  country ;  the  factory  burned 
down  a  few  years  later. 

In  1808  the  firm  erected  a  new  factory  on  the  then  Goose  Pond  at  Twelfth  and 
Cherry  Streets,  at  a  cost  of  $30,000,  which  was  burned  down  in  1813.  The  fire 
was  of  incendiary  origin,  started  by  a  young  British  officer  the  day  before  he  sailed 
for  England.  The  factory  was  promptly  rebuilt. 

After  Samuel  Wetherill's  death  in  1816,  Samuel  Wetherill,  Jr.'s.  sons  joined 
in  the  business,  and  the  firm  became  Samuel  W'etherill  and  Sons.  Its  greatest  an- 
nual output  up  to  1820  was  4,000  hundred  weight  of  white  lead,  and  the  highest 
price  obtained  was  during  the  war  of  1812,  when  sold  at  $23  per  hundred  weight. 
In  that  year  Samuel  Wetherill  and  Sons  brought  lead  ore  in  wagons  from  Ten- 
nessee and  West  Virginia  and  mined  and  smelted  over  100  tons  from  small  veins 
on  Perkiomen  Creek  in  Montgomery  County,  Pa.,  on  Mill  Grove  farm  owned  by 
Samuel  Wetherill. 

After  the  death  of  Samuel  Wetherill,  Jr.,  in  1829,  the  firm  became  Wetherill 
Brothers,  the  store  being  located  at  No.  65  North  Front  Street,  and  the  warehouse 
and  mill  on  Coomb's  alley  back  of  Second  Street.  Samuel  Wetherill,  having  bought 
ten  acres  of  land  on  the  bank  of  the  Schuylkill  River  below  Chestnut  Street,  moved 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         37 

there  in  1847;  his  sons  (Wetherill  and  Brother),  built  the  white  lead  and  chemical 
works  that  continue  to  this  day. 

The  firm  of  Mordecai  and  Samuel  N.  Lewis,  afterwards  John  T.  Lewis  and 
Brothers,  began  the  manufacture  of  white  lead  in  1812,  of  linseed  oil  in  1830,  and  of 
acetic  acid  in  1847. 

It  should  be  noted,  also,  that  in  1807  John  Wetherill  and  Samuel  Budd  en- 
gaged in  the  business  of  paint  making  and  paint  selling,  and  of  wholesale  druggists, 
as  John  Wetherill  and  Co.,  on  Front  Street  above  Market.  They  were  not  cor- 
roders  of  lead  or  manufacturers  of  white  lead.  In  1816  John  Wetherill  retired 
from  the  firm,  and  his  nephew,  George  Deacon  Wetherill  (a  founder  of  the  College 
and  a  member  from  1821  to  1875),  succeeded  to  his  interest.  Under  the  firm  name 
of  George  D.  Wetherill  and  Co.,  the  business  was  carried  on  until  the  retirement 
of  Mr.  Budd  in  1822,  when  Mr.  Wetherill  continued  it  under  the  same  firm  name, 
which  remained  unchanged  until  its  incorporation  in  1896. 

Since  1835  many  members  of  the  Wetherill  family  have  been  identified  with 
the  business.  Starting  with  one  stone  mill  for  grinding  white  lead  in  oil  and  one 
for  colors,  the  house  has  kept  up  with  the  march  of  improvement.  Time  was  when 
the  trains  of  old  Conestoga  wagons,  or  veritable  prairie  schooners,  came  from  the 
Western  part  of  the  Eastern  states,  then  the  "Far  West,"  every  six  months  or 
quarter  of  the  year  to  load  up  with  WetherilFs  white  lead  and  colors,  and  all  the 
other  merchandise  they  had  to  transport,  long  before  the  days  of  railroads  and 
telegraph.  It  is  of  interest  to  add  that  the  firm,  while  primarily  a  paint  concern, 
remained  continuously  in  the  wholesale  drug  business  until  1895. 

Another  firm  which  exerted  an  important  influence  on  the  development  of 
technical  chemical  manufacture  was  Carter  and  Scattergood,  conducted  from  1834 
to  1911,  and  then  absorbed  by  "The  Henry  Bower  Chemical  Manufacturing  Com- 
pany." As  Samuel  P.  Sadtler  (Ibid.}  has  written: 

"John  Carter  and  Joseph  Scattergood  bought  out  (1834)  the  old-established  business  of 
John  and  Daniel  Elliott*  founded  in  1754  by  their  grandfather  John  Elliott.  Joseph  Scatter- 
good  graduated  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1829.  The  Elliott's  place  of 
business  and  factory  was  originally  on  Front  Street  between  Chestnut  and  Walnut  Streets, 
but  in  1812  the  manufacturing  work  was  transferred  to  a  new  factory  which  they  erected 
at  Nineteenth  and  Pine  Streets,  John  Carter  becoming  their  apprentice  on  January  1,  1816. 
The  list  of  chemicals  produced  by  Carter  and  Scattergood  was  an  extensive  one,  John  Carter 
being  the  manufacturer  and  Joseph  Scattergood  the  business  man  of  the  concern.  It  in- 
cluded citric,  tartaric,  oxalic,  nitric  acid  and  sulphuric  acids,  bichromate  and  prussiates  of 
potash  and  many  other  articles,  but  their  operations  during  the  first  ten  years  of  their  busi- 
ness were  on  a  scale  which  in  this  day  would  be  considered  quite  small." 

Establishment  of  Drug  Milling 

The  pioneer  drug  mill  in  this  country,  perhaps  in  the  world,  was  established  by 
Charles  V.  Hagner  at  the  Falls  of  Schuylkill.  It  was  propelled  by  water  power. 
Hagner  began  in  1812  with  several  tons  of  cream  of  tartar  with  which,  to  save  the 
labor  of  powdering  in  mortars,  a  druggist  named  Dr.  Haral  had  doubtfully  en- 
trusted him.  Hagner  agreed  to  perform  the  service  for  less  than  three  cents  a 

*  Daniel  Elliott  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  College  and  a  member  of  the  first  Board 
of  Trustees. — EDITOR.

pound,  which  was  the  price  paid  for  hand  work,  and  hauling  it  out  of  the  city  in 
teams  he  put  it  on  the  mill  stones  used  for  grinding  plaster,  ores,  etc.  Under  the 
old  method  of  hand  grinding,  the  powdering  would  have  required  the  work  of 
several  men  for  many  months ;  in  twelve  hours  it  was  returned  reduced  to  a  powder, 
to  the  druggist's  amazement  and  indignation.  "He  declared  it  had  been  ruined ; 
that  it  was  impossible  in  a  single  night  to  effect  that  which  it  would  have  occupied 
his  men  months  to  accomplish.  A  meeting  of  the  principal  druggists  and  other  ex- 
perts was  held  at  his  office  to  consider  the  matter,  and  the  cream  of  tartar  was  ex- 
amined and  tested  in  various  ways,  resulting  in  its  being  pronounced  perfectly 
good,  unusually  white,  and  finer  than  any  of  them  had  ever  seen  before."  ("His- 
tory of  Philadelphia,"  Scharf  and  Westcott,  Vol.  Ill,  2277.) 

The  fame  of  the  new  method  spread  far  and  wide,  and  the  industry  of  drug 
grinding  was  revolutionized.  Hagner's  success  was  so  great  that  in  1820  he  erected 
a  mill  at  Manayunk  and  was  one  of  the  pioneers  in  building  up  that  town,  and  in 
1839  he  purchased  the  Lancasterian  school  building  in  the  city  and  established  his 
drug  mill  business  on  a  more  extended  scale. 

Pharmaceutical  Events  in  1821 

Probably  the  most  comprehensive  survey  of  matters  pharmaceutical  of  1821 
that  has  been  published  is  that  of  Otto  Raubenheimer,  who  in  a  paper  read  be- 
fore the  Historical  Section  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  August, 
1921  (Jour.  A.  Ph.  A.,  1922,  34),  stated  the  following: 

COLLEGES  AND  UNIVERSITIES  FOUNDED 

The  first  College  of  Pharmacy  in  the  United  States,  namely,  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  was  established  and  a  systematic  course  of  lectures  was  given.  This  most  im- 
portant pharmaceutical  event  was  duly  celebrated  by  a  Centennial  in  February  and  June,  1921. 

The  University  of  Virginia  was  also  founded,  and  the  100th  anniversary  was  celebrated

Stockholm  to  pursue  his  inquiries  on  the  connection  between  crystalline  form  and  chemical 
composition.  Mitscherlich  in  the  same  year  succeeds  Klaproth  as  professor  of  chemistry  at 
the  University  of  Berlin. 

Friedrich  Woehler,  under  the  influence  of  Gmelin,  deserts  medicine  for  chemistry  and 
goes  to  the  laboratory  of  that  distinguished  chemist  at  Heidelberg.

CHAPTER  II 
FOUNDING  OF  THE  COLLEGE 

In  1821  Pharmacy  was  probably  at  a  lower  ebb  than  it  had  been  for  many 
years.  The  dispensing  of  drugs  and  medicines  had  fallen  into  the  hands  of  those 
who,  for  the  most  part,  were  simply  tradesmen.  The  division  of  labor,  as  the 
economist  has  termed  it,  in  a  commercial  center  like  Philadelphia,  had  produced 
the  druggist  (a  name  reserved  for  the  wholesale  druggist),  the  manufacturing 
chemist,  the  drug  grinder,  the  oil  and  paint  dealer,  the  varnish  maker,  and  the 
apothecary,  who  was  a  compounder  of  prescriptions  and  a  retail  drug  dealer,  though 
in  many  cases  these  branches  of  trade  were  still  combined. 

The  retailer,  while  the  physician  was  dispensing  his  own  medicine,  had  been 
little  more  than  a  storekeeper,  i.  e.,  he  simply  kept  drugs  in  stock  for  sale  to  phy- 
sicians. Xow  that  he  was  performing  difficult  and  important  tasks  in  the  com- 
pounding and  dispensing  of  drugs,  he  needed  scientific  training,  which  he  had  but 
imperfect  opportunities  of  obtaining.  He  possessed  but  the  most  rudimentary 
knowledge  regarding  the  properties  of  the  materials  he  sold.  Tests  were  not  ap- 
plied to  determine  the  purity,  quality  and  strength  of  products.  Arsenic  and  cream 
of  tartar  were  sold  over  the  counter  most  carelessly.  Fatal  results  now  and  again 
resulted  from  ignorance  and  worse.  Many  of  the  more  eager,  with  commercial 
ends  in  mind,  lowered  their  prices.  Older  and  better  established  shops  must  follow 
to  meet  such  competition,  and  in  consequence  the  market  was  filled  with  inferior, 
if  not  entirely  spurious,  drugs  and  preparations.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  Sept.  1916, 
389.)  Alum  was  mixed  with  cream  of  tartar,  corn  with  ginger,  in  the  drug  mills. 
(Ibid.,  July,  1851,  203.)  The  bark  which  was  available  for  use  for  fever  and  ague, 
a  physician  in  Upper  Merion  Township,  near  Philadelphia,  complained,  was  "actu- 
ally inferior  to  oak  saw  dust."  (Paulson's  Advertiser,  Nov.  3,  1821.)  And  as 
Samuel  Jackson  stated  in  1821,  this  condition  of  affairs  was  not  solely  due  to  the 
druggist  and  apothecary;  "the  great  body  of  practitioners,  especially  those  residing 
in  the  country,  knowing  medicines  only  by  their  names,  have  been  ignorant  of  the 
very  different  qualities  subsisting  among  them.  In  their  purchases,  incapable  of 
making  a  selection  as  to  quality,  the  lowest  price  was  preferred.  Inferior,  deterio- 
rated and  sophisticated  medicines  and  drugs  met  with  a  ready  sale,  while  the  choicest 
and  most  select,  because  of  higher  price,  could  very  seldom  meet  with  a  purchaser." 
(Phila.  Jour.  Mcd.  and  Phys.  Sciences,  Vol.  V,  No.  2,  1822.) 


Drug  Standards 

On  the  other  hand,  however  much  standards  may  or  may  not  have  been  low- 
ered in  two  or  three  decades,  it  was  quite  certain  that  there  was  in  general  an 
awakening  sense  of  the  importance  of  the  practice  of  pharmacy,  a  widening  ap- 
preciation of  the  necessity  of  more  and  better  information  with  reference  to  materia 
medica  and  related  branches  of  knowledge,  which  affected  the  whole  community, 


44         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

and  which  was  plainly  reflected  in  the  attitude  of  some  men  engaged  in  the  drug 
business  who  were  deeply  conscientious  and  highly  intelligent.  That  the  sale  of 
opium,  poisons  in  great  variety,  materials  calculated  to  exert  the  most  untoward 
results  upon  the  takers  of  them,  should  be  unregulated,  when  it  was  known  that  the 
most  ignorant  fellow,  if  he  liked,  might  enter  the  trade,  furnished  ground  for  a 
feeling  of  profound  disquietude. 

No  one  knew  better  than  the  physician,  who  was  progressing  all  the  time,  what 
danger  lay  on  this  side,  and  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  whose  home  was  now 
in  the  old  house  on  Ninth  above  Chestnut  Street,  built  by  the  State  for  the  use  of 
the  President  of  the  United  States  while  Philadelphia  was  still  the  seat  of  the  Fed- 
eral government,  decided  to  act  in  the  matter.  It  would  establish  standards  for  the 
apothecary.  It  would  try  to  teach  him  the  rudiments  of  his  art.  point  out  to  him 
its  close  connection  with  the  profession  of  medicine,  fill  him  with  a  sense  of  his 
public  responsibilities,  and  in  some  manner  put  upon  him  a  distinguishing  mark  if 
he  should  seem  to  be  qualified  for  his  tasks. 


UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA,   1802-1826 
(Illustration,   courtesy   of  Edgar  Falls  Smith) 


Teaching  of  Pharmacy  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania 

It  was  in  1816  that  the  Trustees  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  established 
a  Faculty  of  Natural  Sciences,  covering  the  teaching  of  botany,  natural  history  (in- 
cluding geology  and  zoology),  chemistry,  mineralogy  and  comparative  anatomy, 
and  gave  a  course  in  these  sciences.  In  connection  wyith  this  course,  Dr.  James 
Mease  was  granted  permission  to  open  a  regular  course  of  lectures  on  pharmacy  in 
the  University  and  continued  his  lectures  for  two  or  three  years.  (M.  I.  Wilbert, 
Amer.  Jour.  P/tar.,  Oct.  1916,  449.) 

The  subject  passed  to  Dr.  John  Redman  Coxe.  From  1809  to  1818  he  had 
been  professor  of  chemistry  in  the  medical  school  of  the  University.  In  the  latter 
year,  his  place  was  taken  by  Dr.  Robert  Hare,  and  he  was  transferred  to  the  chair 
of  materia  medica  to  succeed  Dr.  John  Syng  Dorsey  ;  in  1819,  the  Board  of  Trustees 
resolved  that  the  teaching  of  the  pharmaceutic  art  should  be  a  part  of  the  duties 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         45 

of  the  professor  of  materia  meclica  and  pharmacy,*  and  that  a  course  of  lectures 
be  established  intended  for  pharmaceutical  students. 

Coxe  was  a  grandson  of  Dr.  John  Redman,  a  prominent  figure  in  the  early 
medical  history  of  the  city,  a  pupil  of  Dr.  Benjamin  Rush  and  a  medical  graduate 
of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  of  the  class  of  1794.  He  had  passed  through  the 
yellow  fever  epidemics  and  enjoyed  a  training  abroad.  He  had  been  the  editor  of 
the  Medical  Mnsenin,  one  of  the  earliest  of  the  country's  medical  periodicals,  and 
was  the  author  of  a  dispensatory, 

Now  in  1819,  when  it  was  decided  by  the  University  to  establish  a  course  of 
lectures  for  pharmaceutical  students,  Coxe  was  also  dean  of  the  medical  faculty  and 
an  influential  figure  in  the  medical  school.  His  success,  however,  in  attracting 
young  men  to  him  as  students,  was  not  great,  and  he  developed  a  plan  for  granting 
degrees  to  apothecaries  which  he  thought  would  establish  closer  relations  between 
himself  and  the  more  intelligent  leaders  of  the  drug  trade.  After  conferring  with  a 
number  of  these,  he  prepared  a  "Statement"  in  March,  1820,  which  sixteen  of  them 
signed,  saying  that  they  did  not  hesitate  to  recommend  the  "plan"'  which  Dr.  Coxe 
had  generally  outlined  in  his  paper  "to  the  consideration  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania."  The  statement  was  as  follows  : 

"Pharmacy  is  a  branch  of  the  science  of  medicine  of  the  highest  importance  to  the  public 
welfare.  It  is  the  art  of  properly  preparing,  preserving  and  compounding  the  various  objects 
of  the  materia  medica  for  the  use  of  the  practicing  physicians.  Inasmuch  as  most  of  the 
means  by  which  this  is  effected  are  truly  of  a  chemical  nature,  an  intimate  acquaintance 
with  chemistry  can  scarcely  be  considered  as  not  being  absolutely  essential  to  the  apothecary, 
to  whose  hands  these  means  are  for  the  most  part  confided,  and  it  is  consequently  of  the  great- 
est importance  to  society  that  he  should  be  perfectly  grounded  both  in  the  theoretical  and 
practical  part  of  the  art  he  professes. 

"Nor  is  it  of  less  importance  that  the  physician  himself  should  possess  an  adequate 
acquaintance  with  the  branch  of  his  science  that  is  so  closely  connected  with  carrying  into 
effect  his  curative  indications ;  without  a  knowledge  of  which,  it  is  impossible  for  him  duly  to 
appreciate  the  purity  of  the  medicines  he  may  prescribe,  or  to  be  enabled  to  detect  the  igno- 
rance of  the  apothecary  by  whom  his  prescriptions  may  be  prepared.  Whatever  may  be  the 
rank  he  holds  in  the  estimation  of  the  public,  and  however  great  his  talents,  it  is  obvious 
that  his  success  in  practice  must  greatly  depend  on  the  confidence  which  he  may  have  in 
the  knowledge  and  integrity  of  the  person  to  whom  he  confides  the  responsible  task  of  com- 
pounding his  prescriptions,  and  of  the  assurance  he  may  feel  that  such  confidence  is  not 
misplaced  in  the  employment  by  the  apothecary  of  inert  or  deteriorated  articles.  Feeling, 
as  we  all  must,  that  in  matters  of  life  and  death  so  much  confidence  is  actually  placed  in 
the  integrity  of  the  apothecary,  it  cannot  be  doubted  that  the  more  honor  we  attach  to  his 
profession,  by  so  much  the  more  may  we  reasonably  hope  a  generous  and  laudable  ambition 
will  lead  him  to  guard  against  any  injury  which  the  public  might  sustain  by  any  inattention, 
or  want  of  information,  on  his  part,  and  it,  therefore,  is  presumable  that  an  honorary  degree, 
awarded  by  the  University  to  such  members  as  have  taken  every  measure  to  become  perfect 
masters  of  their  profession,  cannot  but  prove  of  the  utmost  benefit  to  society.  Instead  of 
degrading  this  important  profession,  it  becomes  the  guardian  of  the  public  to  honor  those 
who  may  deserve  their  approbation  by  having  undergone  a  regular  initiation  into  the  mys- 


*  The  first  school  in  America  to  include  pharmacy  in  the  title  of  one  of  its  professors 
was  the  Medical  School  of  the  College  of  Philadelphia,  when  Dr.  Samuel  Powell  Griffits 
was  elected  professor  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy  in  1789.  On  the  fusion  of  the  College 
of  Philadelphia  with  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1791,  Pr.  Griffits  was  continued  as 
professor  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy  until  he  resigned  in  1796. — M.  I.  WII.BERT. 


46         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

teries  and  arcana  which  are  attached  to  it ;  this  can  only  be  the  case  with  those  who,  feeling 
a  proper  pride,  will  bestow  on  their  education  such  attention  as  every  unprejudiced  person 
must  perceive  it  to  deserve,  and  this  can  scarcely  be  hoped  for,  unless  some  honorary  distinc- 
tion shall  await  their  exertions  by  which  they  may  be  separated  from  those  unworthy  mein- 
_bers  who,  from  pecuniary  motives  alone,  are  associated  with  them. 

"Pharmacy  Has  been  divided  into  theoretical  and  practical — the  first  consisting  not  merely 
of  speculative  opinions,  but  of  a  knowledge  of  facts  and  principles  tending  to  explain  the 
rationale  of  processes — the  latter  comprehending  the  mere  manual  labor  employed  in  those 
processes. 

"The  former  of  these  may,  therefore,  be  justly  styled  scientific  pharmacy,  which  is 
equally  essential  to  the  physician  and  to  the  apothecary.  It  is,  as  before  affirmed,  closely 
connected  with  chemistry,  inasmuch  as  it  is  founded  on  the  principles  of  that  science  and 
can  in  no  wise  be  separate  therefrom.  It  establishes  beyond  a  doubt  the  necessity  of  chem- 
istry to  the  physician  and  evinces  clearly  that  he  cannot  be  deficient  in  it  without  being  cor- 
respondingly defective  in  his  practical  pursuits. 

"In  former  times  the  apothecary  and  the  grocer  were  united  together.  The  experience 
of  the  best  physicians  led  them,  however,  to  perceive  the  incongruity  of  this  connection  and 
measures  were  adopted  to  separate  them.  In  London,  by  the  exertions  of  Dr.  Maycron  and 
others,  an  act  of  incorporation  was  procured  for  the  apothecaries  from  James  I  on  the  plea 
that  medicines  might  be  better  prepared  and  in  opposition  to  persons  who  impose  unwhole- 
some remedies  on  the  people.  They  were  even  so  highly  estimated  that  by  an  act  made  per- 
petual in  the  reign  of  George  I  they  were  exempted  from  serving  upon  juries  or  in  ward  and 
parish  offices.  They  were  liable  to  have  their  shops  visited  by  the  Censors  of  the  College, 
who  were  empowered  to  destroy  such  articles  as  they  found  imperfect ;  and  they  were  obliged 
to  compound  their  medicines  according  to  the  formulas  prescribed  in  the  College  Dispensa- 
tory.* 

"It  is  suggested  that  by  a  close  attention  for  at  least  three  years  in  an  apothecary's  shop 
to  the  practical  part  of  their  duties  and  after  two  courses  of  lectures  on  the  subject  of  chem- 
istry, materia  medica  and  pharmacy  such  persons  may  be  subjected  to  an  examination  by  the 
professors  of  those  branches  in  the  University,  and,  if  found  qualified,  may  receive  a  degree 
under  some  appropriate  denomination  which,  being  publicly  known,  may  ensure  them  a 
greater  chance  of  popular  favor  than  will  be  probably  granted  to  those  who  are  neglectful 
or  indifferent  to  the  high  responsibility  they  are  invested  with. 

"In  order  that  this  measure,  should  it  meet  with  the  approbation  of  the  Trustees,  may 
not  have  an  unfair  tendency,  it  is  suggested  that  it  may  be  proper  to  grant  an  honorary  de- 
gree of  the  same  nature  to  those  apothecaries  of  standing  in  Philadelphia  who  may  sanction 
the  proposed  plan,  as  it  is  believed  that  there  are  few,  if  any,  who  will  not  view  it  as  tending 
to  render  their  profession  more  honorable  and  deserving  of  that  estimation  in  which  it  ought 
unquestionably  to  be  held. 

"In  addition  to  what  is  stated  above  it  may  be  urged  in  favor  of  the  plan  proposed  that 
in  Europe  no  one  can  practice  the  duties  of  the  apothecary  without  having  undergone  a  regu- 
lar education  of,  it  is  believed,  seven  years  and  becoming  a  member  of  the  Apothecaries' 
Company.  Such  an  incorporated  association  does  not  exist  here ;  and  in  no  other  way  than 
by  the  measure  proposed  can  the  benefit  be  anticipated  or  realized  by  the  community." 

Institution  of  Master  of  Pharmacy  Degree  by  the  University 

Such  consideration  as  was  requested  was  given  the  subject  by  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  and  on  February  6,  1821,  it  adopted 
the  following  resolutions : 

"Resolved,  (1)  That  the  degree  of  Master  of  Pharmacy  be,  and  it  is  hereby  instituted, 
to  be  conferred  hereafter  by  the  Trustees  of  this  University  on  such  persons  exercising  or

intending  to  exercise  the  profession  of  an  apothecary  as  are  and  shall  be  duly  qualified  to 
receive  the  same. 

"(2)  That  the  Faculty  of  Medicine  be  requested  to  report  to  this  Board  at  their  next 
meeting,  a  proper  form  of  diploma  and  also  a  list  of  such  apothecaries  in  the  City  and  Liber- 
ties of  Philadelphia  as  are  desirous  and,  in  their  opinion,  deserving  of  obtaining  the  degree 
of  Master  of  Pharmacy;  and,  unless  sufficient  reasons  to  the  contrary  shall  appear,  the 
degree  of  Master  of  Pharmacy  shall  be  conferred  on  such  individuals  respectively. 

"(3)  That  every  person  who  shall  have  served  a  regular  apprenticeship  of  at  least  three 
years,  with  a  respectable  apothecary,  or  a  master  of  pharmacy,  and  who  shall  exercise  or  in- 
tend to  exercise  the  profession  of  an  apothecary,  in  this  State  or  elsewhere,  may,  on  applica- 
tion to  the  Board,  obtain  the  degree  of  Master  of  Pharmacy ;  provided,  he  shall  produce  a 
certificate  of  the  Faculty  of  Medicine,  signed  by  the  dean  thereof,  of  his  being  qualified  to 
receive  the  same,  which  certificate  the  Faculty  may  grant  on  the  attestation  of  the  professor 
of  chemistry,  materia  medica  and  pharmacy,  who  shall  have  examined  the  candidate.  He 
must  also  produce  a  certificate  of  his  good  moral  character. 

"(4)  That  in  the  future  it  shall  be  requisite  for  obtaining  such  degree,  that  the  candidate 
shall  have  attended  at  least  two  courses  of  lectures  on  chemistry,  materia  medica  and  phar- 
macy in  this  University."  (Paulson's  Advertiser,  February  19,  1821.) 

Reaction  of  Druggists  and  Apothecaries 

The  reaction  of  the  druggists  and  apothecaries  to  these  resolutions  was  immedi- 
ate and  pronounced.     In  some  pride  was  hurt ;  with  others  professional  standing 
was  at  stake ;  Dr.  Coxe,  who  was  manifestly  responsible  for  what  had  been  done, 
was  not  a  man  in  whom  they  reposed  confidence  as  a  pharmaceutical  adviser  or 
teacher.    He  was  assailed  on  all  sides.    Writers  attacked  the  resolution  in  the  press. 
One  signing;  himself  "Equity'Lsent  a  long  communication  to  the  Philadelphia  Ga-  1 
zcttc.     The  action  of  the  Trustees,  he  said,  "would  lessen  competition  among  the 
vendors  of  medicine"  since  it  would  diminish  the  number  of  apothecaries,  and  the  1 
profits  of  those  who  remained  would  be  increased: 

The  country  was  in  an  era  of  "hard  times" ;  all  business  was  stagnant,  and  to 
require  that  apothecaries  should  have  diplomas  to  carry  on  their  trade  would  be  a 
heavy  tax  upon  them.  It  was  hardly  to  be  expected  that  the  professors  of  chem- 
istry, materia  medica  and  pharmacy  in  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  would  ex- 
amine candidates  for  degrees,  that  the  dean  would  give  out  certificates  and  that 
the  janitor  would  furnish  parchment  and  tin  boxes  for  nothing.  To  get  a  diploma 
as  a  doctor  of  medicine  cost  a  graduate  in  gratuities  to  the  different  professors 
about  $40,  and  if  the  cost  of  becoming  a  master  of  pharmacy  should  be  only  $10  or 
$15  that  sum  would  be  more  than  most  apothecaries  could  well  afford  to  pay.  Tne 
project  of  '^taxing  them  for  the  benefit_of_the^T'nivpjsitv''  had  been  devised  "at 
an  unfortunate  time  when  many  of  them  found  it  difficult  to  pay  their  necessary- 
shop  and  house  expenses." 

The  incomes  of  some  apothecaries,  if  the  University's  system  were  adopted, 
would  be  diminished  if  not  totally  destroyed.  They  had  entered  upon  the  business 
in  good  faith,  but  it  was  not  declared  that  any  one  wishing  to  engage  in  it  must 
have  served  an  apprenticeship  of  at  least  three  years  and  that  the  University,  and 
it  alone,  was  the  proper  judge  of  their  professional  qualifications  and  moral  char- 
acter. In  a  word  it  was  a  "tyrannical  act"  calculated  to  deprive  many  of  "the  means 


48         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

of  subsistence,"  for  at  such  a  time,  if  they  were  to  offer  themselves  as  day  laborers, 
they  could  not  obtain  employment.  The  ruin  of  fifty  or  sixty  apothecaries  whose 
income  would  amount  to  but  a  few  hundred  dollars  apiece,  and  whose  stock  in  trade 
could  not  average  much  more,  might  appear  "like  a  very  trifle  to  some  people  of 
large  fortune,"  but  it  was  a  very  different  matter  to  the  "sufferers." 

Anyway  certain  members  of  the  Faculty  of  Medicine  might  very  probably  be 
the  best  judges  of  the  qualifications  of  an  apothecary.  A  physician  might  know  the 
theory,  but  when  he  opened  a  dispensing  shop  he  generally  had  the  forethought  to 
obtain  the  services  of  a  practical  apothecary  for  a  time  at  least.  Many  things  be- 
longing to  the  art  were  not  to  be  met  with  in  books  of  chemistry,  materia  medica 
and  pharmacy ;  success  in  it  depended  quite  as  much  on  practice  as  on  study.  Pro- 
fessors might  examine  some  men  now  engaged  in  business  and  find  them  ignorant 
on  many  subjects,  but  they  might,  on  the  other  hand,  be  possessed  of  knowledge 
which  the  examiners  would  possibly  be  unable  properly  to  appreciate. 

It  was  contended  that  such  a  regulation  of  the  business  by  the  University  would 
keep  the  shops  supplied  with  good  medicines  and  lessen  the  number  of  mistakes 
occurring  from  ignorance  and  inattention.  But  this  might  not  be  the  result  after 
all.  There  was  a  vulgar  saying  that  "one  man  may  steal  a  horse  where  another 
dare  not  peep  over  a  hedge."  The  master  of  pharmacy  finding  himself  in  a  privi- 
leged class  would  very  likely  give  less  attention  to  the  details  of  the  business,  com- 
mitting it  in  all  probability  to  assistants,  who  might  be  mere  boys,  as  they  were  in 
many  cases  in  dispensaries  kept  by  the  physicians  themselves.  It  was  to  be  proven 
that  masters  of  pharmacy  would  be  more  careful  in  mixing  drugs  and  filling  pre- 
scriptions than  were  shopkeepers  who  might  not  be  so  honored  by  the  University. 

It  was  argued  by  defendants  of  the  resolution  that  the  University  was  not 
"sovereign."  The  public  need  not  withdraw  its  confidence  from  the  ungraduated 
apothecary.  But,  in  this  case,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  it  was  '"sovereign"  and  ruled 
"the  empire  of  opinion  with  despotic  sway."  A  law  of  the  legislature  of  Pennsyl- 
vania limiting  the  number  of  apothecaries  in  Philadelphia  would  not  restrict  the 
freedom  of  trade  so  effectually  as  these  resolutions  of  the  Trustees. 

Hitherto  the  business  of  making  and  selling  medicines  in  Philadelphia  had 
been  as  free  as  any  other.  True  some  were  deficient  in  skill,  but  this  was  the  case 
in  other  professions,  and  the  apothecaries  were  as  well  qualified  to  do  what  they 
were  engaged  in  doing  as  other  men. 

Many  new  shops  had  been  opened  in  the  past  few  years ;  there  would  have 
been  more  but  for  the  physicians'  raising  the  character  of  some  dealers  and  crying 
•down  that  of  others,  not  so  much  in  the  interest  of  their  patients  and  the  cause  of 
good  service,  as  for  their  own  advantage.  Sometimes  it  was  because  the  physician 
and  the  apothecary  were  of  the  same  religious  faith,  sometimes  because  the  doctor 
was  promised  a  percentage  on  the  business  which  he  could  direct  to  the  store.  He 
might  say  to  his  patient :  "I  would  thank  you  to  buy  your  medicine  at  such  a  shop. 
The  owner  is  a  particular  friend  of  mine,  or  he  belongs  to  our  meeting,  or  I  go 
snacks  with  him  in  the  profits."  But  he  did  not  do  this ;  he  pretended  to  other 
motives  and  created  a  false  impression  to  the  advantage  of  one  dealer  and  to  the 
•disadvantage  of  others. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         49 

The  writer  concluded  that  "if  men  of  age  and  respectability"  should  submit  to ' 
being  examined  by  members  of  a  different  profession  on  their  qualifications  for  a 
business  in  which  they  had  been  engaged  for  twenty  or  thirty  years  "without  feel- 
ing something  like  degradation  they  must  possess  but  little  of  the  spark  of  inde- 
pendence." 

The  proposed  degree  was  to  be  conferred  on  men  who  were  not  alumni  of  the 
University  and  never  were  matriculated  at  any  college.  The  policy  was  irregular. 
When  the  degree  of  master  of  arts  was  instituted,  the  authorities  did  not  pretend 
to  decide  as  to  the  qualifications  of  every  literary  character  in  the  City  and  Liberties

of  Philadelphia,  choosing  some  and  rejecting  others.  Why  then  should  the  Faculty 
of  Medicine  be  asked  to  report  to  their  board  a  list  of  the  apothecaries  who  in  their 
opinion  were  deserving  of  the  diploma  of  master  of  pharmacy?  The  Trustees 
should  revise  their  arrangements  and  exercise  a  care  how  they  introduced  "anom- 
alies into  collegiate  practice" ;  they  should  "discourage  the  spirit  of  monopoly  and 
respect  the  rights  of  every  man."  (Phila.  Gazette,  March  3  and  6,  1821.) 

Another  anonymous  writer,  "Apis  Bombilicus,"  declared  that  the  action  of  the 
University  could  not  fail  to  excite  "the  deepest  concern  and  astonishment  in  the 
minds  of  not  only  those  who  are  votaries  of  science  but  of  every  reflecting  person." 
(Ibid.,  March  19,  1821.) 


50         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

The  druggists  and  apothecaries  were  aroused.  Only  recently  they  had 
met  together  to  take  under  advisement  a  grave  occurrence.  A  dealer  of  the  city 
had  purchased  a  case  of  Persian  Opium  in  New  York  City.  It  was  spurious.  A 
committee  was  appointed  to  investigate  the  subject  and  the  whole  shipment  was 
withdrawn  from  sale. 

The  esprit  dc  corps  of  the  group  was  now  strong  enough  for  them  to  resent 
the  action  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  That  some  were  to  he  taken  from 
their  number  by  an  outside  body  and  proclaimed  as  qualified  for  their  pursuits, 
while  others  were  to  be  left  in  a  doubtful  position,  could  not  be  agreed  to.  Mis- 
givings concerning  Dr.  John  Redman  Coxe  as  a  teacher,  the  knowledge  that  the  ap- 
prentices were  to  be  taken  away  from  their  tasks  in  the  shops  at  unseasonable 
hours  to  hear  lecturers,  a  belief  that  better  results  could  be  gained  in  courses  con- 
ducted by  men  who  knew  the  practical  side  of  pharmacy  rather  than  from  courses 
given  under  the  auspices  of  physicians,  together  with  the  conviction  that  prob- 
lems other  than  the  establishment  of  a  school  confronted  the  apothecary — all  these 
considerations  were  weighty  in  determining  a  few  men  to  initiate  a  movement 
which  led  to  lasting  consequences. 

Henry  Troth  was  a  prosperous  young  Quaker  apothecary.  He  had  come  to 
Philadelphia  as  a  boy  and  was  apprenticed  to  the  "drug  and  apothecary  business," 
and  had  now  a  retail  and  wholesale  store  of  his  own  on  Market  Street  below  Seventh 
Street.  Peter  K.  Lehman  was  a  descendant  of  a  German  who  had  settled  in  Ger- 
mantown.  Like  Troth,  in  his  youth,  a  man  now  of  but  34,  he  was  the  proprietor  of 
a  drug  store  at  the  Sign  of  the  Golden  Lion  well  out  Market  Street  on  the  south 
side  near  Tenth  Street.  Troth  and  Lehman  foregathered.  The  trade  as  a  whole 
needed  to  be  elevated  by  mutual  action.  It  should  be  put  upon  a  higher  plane,  not 
only  through  the  education  of  apprentices,  but  by  the  inspection  of  drugs  and  drug 
products  and  the  formulation  of  a  code  of  professional  conduct.  These  reforms 
should  proceed  from  within  and  be  directed  by  the  druggists  and  apothecaries 
themselves  to  meet  their  own  needs  and  requirements. 

First  Meeting  of  the  Druggists  and  Apothecaries 

Troth  and  Lehman  visited  their  neighbors  engaged  in  the  trade  to  enlist  their 
interest  and  support  in  the  calling  of  a  meeting  to  be  held  in  Carpenters'  Hall  on 
February  23,  1821.  In  these  days  this  hall  was  the  most  convenient  of  public 
assembling  places.  The  old  Carpenters'  Company,  an  eighteenth  century  trades 
guild  founded  in  1724,  had  built  the  edifice  in  1770.  Set  back  from  Chestnut  Street, 
between  Third  and  Fourth  Streets,  in  a  little  court,  it  had  been  available  for  the 
use  of  the  representatives  of  the  various  counties  of  the  Province  of  Pennsylvania 
when  they  came  to  Philadelphia  in  July,  1774,  for  a  Provincial  conference  to  discuss 
the  situation  of  affairs  with  reference  to  Great  Britain.  It  was  decided  to  call  a 
convention  of  the  colonies,  and  in  September  following,  the  Hall  was  occupied 
by  the  delegates  from  the  various  colonies  who  were  drawn  to  the  city  to  attend 
the  first  meeting  of  the  Continental  Congress.  For  days,  in  their  gigs  and 
on  their  saddle  horses,  they  came  in  over  the  Southern  road  from  the  Caro- 
linas,  Virginia  and  Maryland,  and  down  the  Second  Street  road  from  New 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         51 

England  and  New  York.  Here  was  Patrick  Henry,  the  impassioned  Virginia 
orator,  who  had  stopped  at  Mount  Vernon  for  George  Washington.  Joined 
by  Edmund  Penclleton,  the  three  rode  their  steeds  together  into  the  city. 
In  the  company  in  the  Hall  when  it  was  complete  were  Peyton  Randolph,  Richard 
Henry  Lee,  Richard  Bland  ( who  would  have  come  on  this  occasion  he  said,  if  it 
had  been  to  Jericho )  ;  John  and  Samuel  Adams,  John  Jay,  Roger  Sherman,  Caesar 
Rodney,  the  two  Rutledges,  the  two  Livingstons,  Thomas  McKean,  John  Dickin-

son — fifty  patriots  not  yet  ready  to  sever  their  relations  with  the  British  crown 
but  so  bent  upon  the  redress  of  their  country's  wrongs  that  the  sound  of  their 
voices  in  this  small  apartment  prophetically  proclaimed  all  that  came  to  pass  two 
years  later  in  the  State  House. 

The  Hall  had  other  uses.  At  the  very  time  that  the  Congress  was  meeting 
here  the  carpenters  were  hospitably  housing  the  books  of  the  Library  Company  of 
Philadelphia,  which  the  townspeople  might  come  to  consult  and  borrow  at  certain 
hours  of  the  day.  More  recently  until  a  building  (now  the  Girard  National  Bank) 
could  be  erected  in  Third  Street,  the  Bank  of  the  United  States  had  made  use  of 
the  Hall,  and  much  more  that  does  not  concern  our  narrative  transpired  in  the 
formative  days  of  the  republic  within  the  four  walls  which  now  held  the  Phila- 
delphia druggists  and  apothecaries.

CARPENTERS'  HALL 

Wherein  the  Congress  of  the  American  Colonies  met.  and  wherein  American  Pharmaceutical   Education 

was  Born 

Carpenters'  Hall  is  one  of  the  historic  shrines  of  the  nation.  The  interior  is  in  prac- 
tically the  same  condition  as  when  that  First  Continental  Congress  assembled  within  it  on 
September  5,  1774.  On  the  side  wall  is  the  legend :  "Within  these  walls  Henry.  Hancock  and 
Adams  inspired  the  delegates  of  the  colonies  with  nerve  and  sinew  for  the  toils  of  war" 
(Pamphlet  of  Carpenters'  Company,  1922).  And  so  the  Congress  of  the  American  Colonies 
met  within  this  Hall,  and  inaugurated  those  measures  which  led  to  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence, and  terminated  so  favorably  for  civil  liberty  in  America  and  throughout  the  world ; 
and  within  this  Hall,  also,  on  February  23,  1821,  was  born  American  pharmaceutical  education. 

A  very  prominent  wholesale  druggist  of  the  day  was  Stephen  Xorth.  doing 
business  at  14  North  Second  Street  (old  number),  a  few  doors  south  of  Christ's 
Church.*  No  one  in  the  trade  advertised  so  largely  in  the  Gazette  except  Dr. 
Dyott,  who  was  so  plainly  a  commercial  adventurer  that  he  was  not  included  in  the 
company  drawn  together  to  improve  and  elevate  the  trade.  North  was  an  agent 
for  a  number  of  manufacturers  in  England.  They  often  sent  him  their  products  for 
sale  on  commission  on  which  account  drugs  purchased  from  him  were  to  be  had  in 
their  "original  packages."  He  announced  in  the  newspapers  that  he  had  for  sale 
almost  any  article  "connected  with  the  drug  and  apothecary  business  on  as  good 
terms  as  any  person  in  the  United  States."  He  also  offered  day  by  day  a  large 
stock  of  paints,  glassware  and  dyestuffs,  by  advertisement  in  the  Philadelphia 


*  Stephen  North  was  second  Vice-President  of  the  College  from  1821  to  1824,  and  first 
Vice  President  from  1824  to  1826.  He  zealously  co-operated  in  founding  the  institution 
and  faithfully  served  it  until  his  demise  in  1826.  Shortly  before  his  death,  he  removed  to 
the  northeast  corner  of  Sixth  and  Market  Streets.

Gazette  for  April  13,  May  1,  June  7  and  August  30,  1821.  On  account  of  his  lead- 
ing position  and  by  reason  of  the  respect  in  which  he  was  held  by  his  colleagues,  he 
was  called  to  the  chair  and  presided  over  the  meeting  in  Carpenters'  Hall. 

Peter  Williamson,  of  Southwark,  to  be  for  many  years  a  well  known  figure  in 
the  city,  was  chosen  to  act  as  secretary  of  the  meeting. 

The  discussion  was  general  and  very  spirited.  Some  of  those  present  were 
in  an  awkward  position.  They  had  been  visited  by  Dr.  Coxe ;  they  had  expressed 
themselves  as  favorable  to  the  very  plan  which  the  Trustees  of  the  University  had 
formulated  and  adopted,  and  which  was  the  cause  now  of  so  much  animated  dis- 
sent. Resolutions  were  presented  for  debate  and  finally  a  course  was  agreed  upon. 


PETER  WILLIAMSON 

It  was  admitted  that  "any  propositions  emanating  from  a  respectable  source,  whose 
object  is  to  increase  the  usefulness  and  respectability  of  the  business  of  druggist 
and  apothecary"  were  "entitled  to  attentive  consideration.  But  if  it  should  appear, 
on  mature  reflection,  that  such  propositions  were  open  to  serious  objections  and 
inadequate  to  the  full  attainment  of  the  objects  which  they  had  in  view,  or  that 
other  plans  may  be  substituted  more  efficacious  in  their  nature  and  better  calculated 
for  producing  the  desired  result — in  such  a  case  we  consider  it  our  duty  to  express 
our  opinions  and  adopt  such  measures  as  may,  on  mature  reflection,  appear  to  be 
dictated  by  sound  reason  and  correct  judgment."  Coming  then  to  the  "plan  pro- 


54         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 


posed  to  the  druggists  and  apothecaries  of  the  City  and  Liberties  of  Philadelphia" 
by  the  Trustees  of  the  University,  the  meeting  was  of  the  opinion  that  it  was  "liable 
to  serious  objections  and  inadequate  to  the  attainment  of  the  objects"  in  view.

^  MINUTES  OF  THE  FIRST  MEETING  OF  THE  COLLEGE 

Appointment  of  a  Committee  on  Plan 

A  committee  was  appointed  to  determine  whether  it  might  not  be  "preferable 
to  adopt  a  plan  as  a  substitute,  distinct  from  the  one  proposed."  This  committee 
was  made  up  of  the  following  personnel,  remarkable  for  their  ability :  Samuel 
Jackson,  Daniel  B.  Smith,  Robert  Milnor,  Peter  Williamson,  Stephen  North,  Henry 
Troth,  Samuel  Biddle,  Charles  Allen  and  Frederick  Brown.  All  were  young  men ; 
it  was  "an  enterprise  of  youth."  observes  La  Wall,  for  the  average  age  of  those 
about  whom  there  is  definite  information  was  but  twenty-eight  years.  (Amer.  Jour. 
Phar.,  March,  1921,  175.)  They  immediately  proceeded  to  the  performance  of 
their  task  and  made  their  report  to  a  second  meeting  held  in  Carpenters'  Hall  on 
March  13,  1821. 

The  Committee  remarked  upon  the  impression  generally  prevailing  that  "for 
some  time  past"  there  had  been  "a  departure,"  due  "to  a  concurrence  of  various 
circumstances,"  from  "the  correct  customs  and  established  principles  of  the  drug 
and  apothecary  business."  As  a  consequent  effect,  there  was  a  "deterioration  of 
many  drugs  and  medicines  in  constant  use  of  great  importance  in  practice,"  and 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         55 

"medicines  of  inferior  or  sophisticated  qualities"  were  "too  often  introduced  into 
the  shops."  The  "irregularities,"  it  was  found,  were  due  in  great  part  to  "the 
want  of  proper  pharmacological  information  on  the  part  of  some  druggists  and 
apothecaries  who  vend,"  and  also,  it  was  observed,  "of  physicians  who  buy."  To 
the  "mischiefs"  which  were  "necessarily  attendant  upon  such  a  state  of  things," 
those  interested  in  the  trade  had  frequently  adverted.  The  Trustees  of  the  Uni- 
versity had  seen  the  need  of  a  change  of  conditions.  Their  "motives  and  views" 
were  highly  commendable,  and  their  plan,  so  far  as  it  should  extend,  would  be  "use- 
ful." It  was  apparent,  however,  "to  those  most  conversant  with  the  species  of 
abuses  that  exist  in  the  business  and  require  correction,"  that  the  proposal  of  the 
University  was  not  well  adapted  to  correct  existing  irregularities,  and  "whatever 
benefit  might  be  derived  from  it  would  be  perforce  prospective  and  slow  in  oper- 
ation." 

"This  action  of  the  University,"  the  report  continued,  "has  had  one  happy 
effect,"  since  it  had  recalled  the  subject  to  the  attention  of  the  druggists  and  apothe- 
caries. "It  has,"  said  the  committee,  "roused  them  to  a  sense  of  the  propriety  of 
placing  their  business  on  the  respectable  footing  it  ought  to  possess  as  a  branch 
of  the  science  of  medicine,  by  eradicating  from  it  all  present  and  preventing  a  re- 
currence of  future  injurious  practices,  by  creating  the  means  of  easily  acquiring  a 
perfect  and  scientific  knowledge  of  drugs  and  medicines,  and  the  most  approved 
modes  of  preparing  them."  Such  "desirable  and  highly  important  objects,"  it  was 
stated,  could  "only  be  effectually  attained  by  the  interposition  and  active  agency  of 
the  druggists  and  apothecaries  themselves." 

The  method  "best  adapted  to  effectuate  the  reformation  generally  desired  in 
the  business  and  to  obtain  the  advantages  which  have  been  the  object  of  much 
solicitude,"  the  committee  believed  to  be  "the  establishment  of  a  College  of  Apothe- 
caries, the  attention  of  which  will  be  constantly  directed  to  the  qualities  of  articles 
brought  into  the  drug  market,  in  which  subjects  relating  to  their  business  and  its 
objects  can  be  discussed,  and  information  beneficial  and  interesting  to  the  trade 
communicated" ;  and  it  was  proposed  to  establish  a  school  of  pharmacy  "in  which 
lectures  designed  especially  for  the  instruction  of  druggists  and  apothecaries  should 
be  delivered." 

Recommendations  of  the  Committee  on  Plan 

The  committee,  therefore,  recommended  that  an  association  of  the  druggists 
and  apothecaries  of  the  City  and  Liberties  of  Philadelphia  should  be  formed  "on 
the  plan  and  for  the  objects  suggested,"  and  offered  a  constitution  for  such  an  asso- 
ciation to  the  consideration  of  the  meeting.  The  constitution  was  presented  and 
adopted,  to  be  signed  by  those  present,  who  numbered  sixty-eight,  about  one  half 
of  all  those  identified  with  the  trade  in  the  city  and  outlying  districts.  (Paulson's 
Advertiser,  April  13,  1821;  and  National  Gazette,  March  30,  1821.) 
It  was  preceded  by  this  "Preamble" : 

"Pharmacy  is  an  important  branch  of  the  science  of  medicine.  Deposited  by  the  divi- 
sion of  the  science  in  the  hands  of  the  apothecary,  it  requires,  on  his  part,  intelligence,  skill 
and  integrity  to  prepare  and  compound  medicines  for  administration  to  the  sick ;  to  dis- 
tinguish and  select  those  drugs  that  are  of  the  best  quality,  and  possessed  of  those  virtues, 


56         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 


on  whose  efficacy  reliance  is  placed  to  cure  diseases,  and  to  deal  in  no  others.  On  the  quali- 
fications of  the  apothecary  in  these  respects  must  depend  in  no  small  measure  the  success 
of  the  physician  and  his  practice  and  often  the  lives  of  his  patients.  The  business,  therefore, 
to  be  conducted  correctly  and  with  safety  to  the  community,  renders  varied,  extended  and 
peculiar  information  necessary,  not  easily  acquired  without  a  regular  course  of  studies  and 
practical  education;  and  without  which,  mistakes  are  liable  to  occur  involving  health  and  life. 
"The  different  modes  in  which  medicines  can  be  prepared  differing  in  strength  and  con- 
sequently in  their  powers ;  the  ease  with  which  mixtures  and  sophistications  totally  destroying 
their  virtues  can  be  made  and  which  are  difficult  of  detection,  offer  great  incitements  to 
cupidity,  and  open  a  wide  door  to  abuses  that  experience  teaches  are  inevitably  introduced 
by  an  unregulated  competition.  More  injuries  have  been  sustained  by  society  from  such  a 
competition  than  benefits  have  been  conferred ;  for  the  reduction  of  price  has  chiefly  been 
effected  by  a  deterioration  of  quality.  The  existence  of  a  state  of  things  so  pregnant  with 
evils  of  great  magnitude  must  bring  the  profession  into  disrepute  and  loudly  calls  for  a 
timely  and  effectual  remedy  upon  those  who  feel  an  interest  in  maintaining  its  respectability. 
In  order,  therefore,  to  provide  the  means  of  instruction  by  the  establishment  of  a  school  of 
pharmacy  in  which  shall  be  taught  those  branches  of  knowledge  essential  to  the  education 
of  an  apothecary;  to  invite  a  spirit  of  pharmaceutical  investigation  and  research,  and  to 
diffuse  information  amongst  the  members  of  the  profession;  to  guard  the  drug  market  from 
the  introduction  of  spurious,  adulterated,  deteriorated,  or  otherwise  mischievous  articles, 
which  are  too  frequently  forced  into  it;  by  watching  and  giving  early  warning  of  their 
appearance ;  to  regulate  the  business  as  far  as  may  be  practicable  and  consistent  with  our 
social  institutions ;  to  establish  such  rules  as  may  promote  an  harmonious  intercourse  among 
its  members ;  to  remedy  many  existing  abuses ;  to  advance  the  character  and  forward  the 
interests  of  the  profession,  the  undersigned  Druggists  and  Apothecaries  of  the  City  and 
Liberties  of  Philadelphia,  agree  to  associate  together  under  the  Constitution  hereunto  annexed, 
to  the  principles  of  which  they  give  their  earnest  support  and  by  which  they  will  abide."

Administration  of  the  College 

Four  times  a  year  the  members  would  hold  meetings.  There  would  be  sixteen 
trustees,  one  half  of  the  board  to  be  chosen  annually.  It  would  be  the  duty  of  this 
body,  the  constitution  said :  "To  establish  a  school  of  pharmacy,  provide  suitable 
apparatus  and  a  library  and  appoint  one  or  more  lecturers  as  may  be  deemed  expedi- 
ent, on  materia  medica,  chemistry  and  pharmacy,  and  on  such  branches  of  natural 
science  as  may  be  useful  in  the  instruction  of  an  apothecary ;  to  appoint  a  com- 
mittee of  inspection  who  shall  examine  all  articles  of  drugs  and  medicines  brought 
into  the  market  and  submitted  to  them ;  to  appoint  a  committee  of  equity  to  settle 
any  disputes  that  may  arise  in  the  transactions  of  business  by  the  members  of  the 
College  which  may  be  referred  to  them." 

It  was  provided  that  each  member  should  make  an  annual  contribution  of  five 
dollars.  New  members  might  be  admitted,  if  they  had  been  "regularly  educated 
as  a  druggist  or  apothecary,"  or  had  received  a  diploma  from  the  College,  and 
were  of  "correct  moral  deportment,"  by  a  three  fourths  vote  of  the  Board  at  any 
stated  meeting. 

An  important  provision  was  found  in  Article  VIII,  which  was  as  follows : 
"Complaints  may  be  preferred  against  any  member  of  this  College  to  the  board  of  trus- 
tees for  malpractice  and  misconduct  in  his  business ;  and,  if  on  investigation,  it  shall  appear 
that  he  has  been  guilty  of  adulterating  or  sophisticating  any  articles  of  medicine  or  drugs, 
or  of  knowingly  vending  articles  of  that  character,  or  of  deteriorated  qualities,  the  facts  may 
be  reported  by  the  board  of  trustees  to  a  meeting  of  the  College,  publicly  called,  when,  a 
majority  of  all  the  members  of  the  College  concurring,  he  may  be  expelled." 

Elections  of  Officers  of  the  College 

On  March  27,  1821,  the  first  stated  meeting  of  the  College  was  held,  and 
officers  were  elected.  Very  properly  the  dean  of  Philadelphia's  apothecaries, 
Charles  Marshall,  though  nearly  eighty  years  of  age,  was  chosen  president.  Wil- 
liam Lehman,  a  cousin  of  Peter  K.  Lehman  who  had  discussed  the  subject  in  the 
first  instance  with  Henry  Troth,  an  A.B.  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  and 
also  a  graduate  of  the  medical  school  of  that  institution,  now  for  some  years  a 
prominent  druggist  and  a  member  for  Philadelphia  in  the  Pennsylvania  State  Legis- 
lature, and  Stephen  North,  who  had  presided  at  the  first  meeting,  were  elected  vice- 
presidents.  Daniel  B.  Smith,  learned  philanthropist  and  public  spirited  Philadel- 
phian,  destined  to  play  so  large  a  part  in  the  history  of  the  College,  as  in  the  direc- 
tion of  other  movements  in  the  city,  was  elected  secretary,  and  William  Heyl,  treas- 
urer. The  following  made  up  the  first  Board  of  Trustees : 

Samuel  P.  Wetherill,  Dr.  Samuel  Jackson,  Daniel  Elliott,  Charles  Allen,  Henry 
M.  Zollickoffer,  Jeremiah  Morris,  Henry  Troth,  Peter  K.  Lehman,  Charles  Mar- 
shall, Jr.,  Warder  Morris,  Peter  Williamson,  Daniel  Thatcher,  Samuel  Biddle, 
Thomas  McClintock,  Frederick  Brown  and  Thomas  Wiltberger. 

Establishment  of  the  School 

The  Board  of  Trustees  organized  on  March  29,  1821,  by  electing  Samuel  Price 
Wetherill,  of  the  Wetherill  firm,  as  its  chairman,  while  Peter  Williamson,  active  in 
the  meeting  for  organization,  became  its  secretary ;  and  committees  were  appointed 


58         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 


DANIEL  B.  SMITH 

to  take  into  consideration  the  subject  of  establishing  a  school  of  pharmacy  and  to 
draft  by  laws  for  the  government  of  the  Board  of  Trustees.  On  April  9,  an  ad- 
journed meeting  of  the  Trustees  was  held,  at  which  the  committee  on  by  laws  pre- 
sented a  draft  which  was  adopted ;  and  the  committee  on  school  of  pharmacy  re- 
ported a  plan  recommending  lectures  on  materia  medica  and  pharmacy,  and  on 
pharmaceutical  and  general  chemistry,  three  times  a  week,  which  was  adopted, 
also.  A  week  later  rules  for  the  regulation  of  the  school  were  approved,  as  fol- 
lows: 

"1st.  There  shall  be  two  lecturers  to  the  College,  viz.:  one  on  materia  medica  and  phar- 
macy, and  the  other  on  pharmaceutical  and  general  chemistry. 

"2nd.  They  shall  be  elected  by  ballot  at  a  meeting  of  the  Trustees  called  for  that  pur- 
pose and  shall  continue  in  office  unless  removed  by  a  vote  of  two  thirds  of  the  board. 

"3rd.  The  Trustees  shall  have  a  general  power  of  superintending  and  regulating  the  lec- 
tures of  the  two  professors,  fixing  the  price  of  tickets,  etc. 

"4th.  The  lectures  shall  commence  in  the  first  week  in  the  llth  month  (November)  and 
continue  three  times  a  week  at  such  place  and  hour  as  the  Trustees  shall  direct  until  finished. 

"5th.  The  price  of  tickets  for  the  present  shall  be  for  the  course  of  materia  medica  and 
pharmacy,  $15 ;  and  the  other  branch,  $12 ;  and  apprentices  to  persons  following  the  drug 
business  who  are  not  members  of  the  College  shall  pay  in  addition  $5  as  a  matriculating  fee.* 


*  On  April  16,  1821,  however,  the  price  of  the  tickets  was  reduced  from  $15  to  $12  for 
the  first  course,  and  from  $12  to  $10  for  the  second  course,  the  matriculation  fee  to  non- 
members  to  be  $5. — EDITOR. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         59 

"6th.  The  members  of  the  College  shall  have  free  access  to  the  stated  lectures  of  the  two 
professors. 

"7th.  The  lecturers  shall  receive  all  the  emoluments  arising  from  their  respective  courses 
of  lectures,  except  the  matriculating  fee. 

"8th.  The  Board  of  Trustees  shall  provide  a  suitable  lecture  room  for  the  institution, 
and  make  such  other  provision  to  accommodate  the  lecturers  as  they  may  deem  expedient. 

"9th.  Every  person  upon  whom  a  diploma  of  this  College  shall  be  conferred  must  be 
of  good  moral  character,  have  arrived  at  the  age  of  21  years,  have  attended  two  courses  of 
each  of  the  lectures  and  have  served  out  an  apprenticeship  of  at  least  four  years  with  a  per- 
son qualified  to  conduct  the  drug  and  apothecary  business. 

"10th.  All  persons  who  have  attended  two  courses  of  each  of  the  lectures  shall  have  free 
access  to  the  future  lectures  of  the  professors." 

Samuel  Price  Wetherill 

Samuel  Price  Wetherill  (1790-1839)  was  the  third  son  of  Samuel  Wetherill,  Jr.,  who  gave 
his  four  sons  the  best  possible  education  of  their  day,  in  chemistry,  pharmacy,  astronomy, 
mineralogy  and  horticulture,  as  taught  by  the  famous  Priestly  and  others,  each  son  showing 
in  later  life  high  attainment  in  the  work  which  their  subsequent  financial  independence  led 


SAMUEL  PRICE  WETHERILL 

them  to  select.  Samuel  Price  Wetherill's  fondness  for  chemistry,  botany  and  allied  sciences 
no  doubt  led  to  his  election  in  1821  as  the  presiding  officer  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
College,  also  as  second  vice  president  of  the  College  (1825-1826),  but  soon  after  his  father's 
death,  he  inherited  by  selection  one  of  the  five  farms  owned  by  his  sire,  and  chose  the  one 
known  as  the  "Mill  Grove  Mines  Farm,"  including  saw  and  grist  mill,  on  the  Perkiomen 


60         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Creek,  formerly  inherited  from  Admiral  Audubon,  of  the  French  Navy,  by  his  father.  Here 
Samuel  turned  his  attention  to  improving  the  farm  in  various  ways,  and  the  stretch  of  acre- 
age sloping  southwesterly  to  the  creek  offering  a  chance  for  the  culture  of  the  finest  variety 
of  grapes,  he  terraced  the  acres  in  quite  a  number  of  long  rows,  and  planting  the  vines,  made 
such  a  success  of  his  pastime  that  for  fifty  years  or  more  after  his  death  the  terraces  and 
vines  continued  as  a  memory.  It  is  interesting  to  add  that  three  of  the  founders  of  the 
College  were  Wetherills — Samuel  Price,  George  D.,  and  Charles,  and  that  the  following  mem- 
bers of  the  family  have  been  members  of  the  College  (for  the  years  given)  :  Ashfield  H. 
Wetherill  (1824-1834);  William  Wetherill,  M.D.  (1837-1872);  John  Wetherill,  Jr.  (1837- 
1856);  Samuel  Wetherill  (1843-1851);  and  J.  Bloomfield  Wetherill  (1858-1869).  It  should 
be  added,  also,  that  the  great,  great  nephew  of  Samuel  Price  Wetherill — Samuel  Price  Weth- 
erill, Jr.,  is  a  member  of  the  present  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College. 

Conferring  of  Master  of  Pharmacy  Degree  by  the  University 

Meanwhile  the  position  of  Dr.  John  Redman  Coxe  and  the  University  Trustees 
was  embarrassing  to  the  last  degree.  They  could  not  abandon  the  ground  which 
they  had  taken.  The  Commencement  Day  of  April  5,  1821,  when  the  first  degrees 
of  master  of  pharmacy  were  to  be  conferred,  approached  ;  the  honor  had  been  prom- 
ised to  a  number  of  the  apothecaries,  though  some  now  declined  it.  Dr.  Coxe  be- 
gan by  inserting  an  announcement  in  Paulson's  Advertiser,  which  was  as  follows : 

"The  apothecaries  of  this  city  who  are  desirous  of  obtaining  the  degree  of  Master  of 
Pharmacy  at  the  ensuing  commencement  conformably  to  the  resolutions  of  the  Trustees  of 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  are  respectfully  requested  to  forward  their  claims  to  the 
Dean  of  the  Faculty  to  be  laid  before  the  Medical  Faculty  previously  to  the  next  meeting 
of  the  Trustees. 

"An  erroneous  impression  having  been  sedulously  advanced  that  an  examination  of  the 
apothecaries  was  essential  to  obtaining  this  degree,  it  is  right  to  state  that  this  is  not  the  case ; 
such  an  examination  is  merely  prospective  and  has  reference  only  to  those  who  have  not 
yet  commenced  the  business. 

"It  is  desirable  that  applications  may  be  made  to  the  Dean  by  the  22nd  inst.  as  the  com- 
mencement will  take  place  as  soon  as  possible  after  the  examination  of  the  medical  candidates 
is  completed. 

"The  printers  of  the  different  daily  papers  are  requested  to  give  this  notice  an  insertion." 
(Issue  of  March  15,  1821.) 

This  done,  Coxe  turned  to  the  columns  of  the  National  Gazette,  the  literarv 
newspaper  of  the  city,  and  the  editor  published  the  "Statement"  which  had  been 
signed  by  the  sixteen  prominent  apothecaries  and  druggists  of  the  city  in  the  previ- 
ous year,  upon  which  the  action  of  the  Trustees  of  the  University  had  been  based. 
He  accompanied  the  "Statement"  with  a  list  of  the  signatures,  and  a  letter  to  the 
editor  defining  his  own  position  in  the  premises.  The  signers  were  as  follows : 

Edward  Lowber  George  H.  Burgin 

Stephen  North  Thatcher  and  Thompson 

J.  Morris  Thomas  Cave 

Daniel  B.  Smith  Samuel  P.  Wetherill 

Samuel  Jackson  Christopher  Marshall 

Charles  Marshall,  Jr.  J.  Y.  Bryant 

Charles  Allen  Robert  Milnor 

John  White  John  and  Daniel  Elliott 

Plainly,  Dr.  Coxe  was  not  without  his  defense,  for  in  the  list  of  those  who  had 
endorsed  his  project  were  the  names  of  Stephen  North,  who  had  presided  at  the

meeting  in  Carpenters'  Hall,  now  a  vice  president  of  the  new  College ;  Daniel  B. 
Smith,  another  vice  president;  Christopher  and  Charles  Marshall,  Jr.,  sons  of  the 
venerable  Charles  Marshall,  its  president ;  Samuel  P.  Wetherill,  chairman  of  its 
Board  of  Trustees,  Jeremiah  Morris,  Charles  Allen,  Daniel  Thatcher,  Samuel  Jack- 
son, members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees ;  while  all  of  the  others  except  three,  Chris- 
topher Marshall,  J.  Y.  Bryant  and  John  White,  were  charter  members  of  the  Col- 
lege. 

In  his  letter  to  the  editor  of  the  National  Gazette,  Coxe  took  the  entire  re- 
sponsibility for  what  had  been  done,  finding  an  excuse  for  his  bringing  the  subject 
into  public  notice  in  the  "misunderstanding  either  real  or  assumed"  which  was  dis- 
cernible in  the  minds  of  several  writers  in  the  press.  "From  a  long  acquaintance 
with  most  of  the  elder  apothecaries  of  this  city,"  he  said,  {'I  had  become  desirous 
that  a  profession  so  respectable  in  itself  should  be  rendered  more  so  by  adopting  the 
European  plan  of  granting  degrees  to  those  who  from  due  attention  and  a  regular 
education  have  qualified  themselves  to  practice_with^  benefit  to  the  community  an 
art  so  important  to  our  dearest  interests.^^No  one~with  whom  Tie  had  conversed 
on  the  subject  had  doubted  the  utility  of  the  plan.  "After  fully  weighing  the  sub- 
ject and  knowing  that  some  one  must  take  the  laboring  oar,  if  it  was  actually  to  be 
accomplished,"  he  had  drawn  up  a  "statement"  of  the  reasons  which  operated  on 
his  mind  for  wishing  its  adoption.  That  statement  had  received  "the  sanction  of 
some  of  our  most  respectable  apothecaries,  as  their  signatures  thereto  fully  demon- 
strate." He  had  presented  the  statement  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  who  gave  it 
their  approbation.  After  due  deliberation  of  its  merits  they  had  passed  their  resolu- 
tions. "Such,"  said  Dr.  Coxe,  "is  the  history  of  this  affair.  The  public  will  ap- 
preciate my  motives  and  will  perceive  that  I  was  influenced  solely  by  a  desire  of 
rendering  the  apothecaries  a  just  tribute  of  respect ;  and  by  awakening  in  them 
a  proper  esprit  de  corps  and  making  it  probable  that  in  the  future  whoever  engaged 
in  the  business  might  be  fully  depended  on  for  a  thorough  knowledge  of  it  and 
every  confidence  be  maintained  between  themselves,  the  physicians  and  the  public. 
It  is  to  me  indifferent  (so  that  these  ends  are  accomplished)  whether  it  be  through 
the  agency  of  an  apothecaries'  company,  or  of  the  resolutions  of  the  Trustees.  It 
is  presumable  both  have  the  same  object  in  view;  certainly  there  ought  to  be  no 
dissension  in  the  means  of  carrying  it  into  effect.  Had  the  apothecaries  pursued  the 
measures  they  are  now  adopting  before  I  had  actually  engaged  in  the  business,  I 
should  not  have  considered  any  steps  on  my  part  necessary ;  as  it  is  altogether  op- 
tional for  any  individual  to  accept  or  refuse  the  proffered  diploma  from  the  Uni- 
versity." (National  Gazette,  March  24,  1821.) 

"Advantages  would  no  doubt  have  accrued  from  this  accession  to  the  original 
plan  of  the  Medical  Department  had  it  not  been  superseded  by  the  establishment 
by  the  apothecaries  themselves  of  a  distinct  school  which,  being  under  their  own 
management,  and  directed  to  the  one  object  of  advancing  the  usefulness  and  re- 
spectability of  the  profession,  is  naturally  more  popular,  and  at  least  equally  effi- 
cient." ("History  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,"  3d  ed.  197,  Dr.  George  B. 
Wood.) 

"Equity"  returned  to  the  discussion  in  the  Philadelphia  Gazette.  The  Dean 
of  the  Medical  School  had  spoken  of  a  "misunderstanding,"  but  he  had  neglected 


62         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

to  say  in  what  this  misunderstanding  might  consist.  If  there  had  been  a  mistake 
it  arose  from  the  wording  of  the  resolutions  as  they  came  from  the  Trustees.  The 
public  was  now  informed  by  an  advertisement  of  March  15,  to  which  Dr.  Coxe  no 
doubt  referred,  that  there  would  be  no  examination  of  candidates  prior  to  the  in- 
vestment of  them  with  degrees  at  the  coming  commencement.  If  this  were  so,  it 
jriadejhe  matter  "worse  and  worse^-^This  was  "a  new  species  of  insult  and  degra- 
dation" for  the  apothecary.  Now  all  would  be  made  to  depend  "upon  the  sovereign 
will  and  good  pleasure  of  the  worthy  dean  of  the  Faculty  of  Medicine,  who  had  not 
scrupled  to  aver  that  'scarcely  more  than  one  in  ten  of  the  apothecaries  of  Phila- 
phia  can  be  considered  as  competent  to  the  business.'  " 

The  public  now  knew  that  he  was  the  originator  of  the  measure.  He  it  was 
who  after  the  first  distribution  of  the  free  degrees  would  get  the  fees  from  those 
who  should  attend  his  courses.  This  operation  at  $20  a  course  and  the  graduation 
fees,  which  might  make  the  whole  expense  to  a  candidate  $80  or  even  $120,  would 
be  very  profitable,  as  any  one  might  see.  This  was  too  great  a  sum  for  young  men 
to  pay.  If  the  University  should  have  engaged  a  suitable  professor  to  teach  phar- 
macy and  had  made  the  fees  moderate  there  might  have  been  no  objection  to  the 
plan.  As  it  was  everything  was  to  be  determined  by  the  "caprice"  of  one  man 
who  desired  that  all  the  business  of  the  city  should  be  conducted  by  ten  or  fifteen 
shops.  An  honorary  degree  is  intended  usually  to  raise  the  person  of  its  recipient 
in  the  community,  and  it  might  have  this  effect.  But  in  this  case  it  raised  the  per- 
son on  whom  it  was  conferred  by  "sinking  his  rivals,"  who,  "as  respects  moral 
character  and  professional  abilities,"  might  be  his  "equals." 

This  "piece  of  business  throughout"  had  been  managed  in  a  "most  bungling 
manner."  It  was  "an  unwarrantable  assumption  of  power  on  the  part  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  an  injudicious  innovation  in  academical  practice."  The  Trustees  must 
retrace  the  erroneous  steps  into  which,  as  appears  by  his  own  confession,  they  have 
been  led  by  one  of  their  professors.  (Phila.  Gazette,  March  28  and  29,  1821.) 

The  arrangements  at  the  University  proceeded.  At  the  commencement  on 
April  5,  1821,  sixteen  men  received  diplomas  attesting  to  their  skill  in  pharmacy 
as  follows : 

John  Hart,  8  South  Second  Street. 

John  White,  82  North  Front  Street. 

John  Y.  Bryant,  27  Market  Street. 

Robert  Milnor,  161  South  Second  Street. 

Anthony  Ecky,  53  South  Seventh  Street. 

Thomas  Cave,  45  Market  Street. 

Charles  Marshall,  Jr.,  310  Market  Street. 

Christopher  Marshall,  19  Xorth  Fourth  Street. 

Mordecai  Y.  Bryant,  241  North  Second  Street. 

Mordecai  L.  Gordon,  58  North  Second  Street. 

James  D.  Rooney,  Southwest  Corner  of  Green  and  Second  Streets. 

Charles  Treichel,  99  Walnut  Street. 

George  F.  Garretson,  Corner  of  Race  and  Fourth  Streets. 

David  B.  Avers,  164  North  Third  Street. 

John  Stitt,  Corner  of  Race  and  Sixth  Streets. 

William  Poole,  62  North  Second  Street.

It  is  of  interest  to  add  that,  as  Martin  I.  Wilbert  (Antcr.  Jour.  Phar.,  1907, 
409)  has  stated  : 

"While  provisions  had  been  made  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University  for  insti- 
tuting a  course  in  pharmacy,  the  project  met  with  such  strenuous  opposition  from  the  drug- 
gists and  apothecaries  of  Philadelphia  that  not  a  single  student  ever  attended  the  lectures 
in  the  Medical  Department  with  the  view  of  securing  the  degree  of  Master  of  Pharmacy.  A 
careful  review  of  the  minutes  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  also  of  the  minutes  of  the  Med- 
ical Faculty  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  failed  to  show  any  record  of  students  in 
pharmacy,  and  there  is  but  one  other  record  of  the  degree  of  Master  of  Pharmacy  having 
been  awarded.  This  was  at  the  medical  commencement  on  April  4,  1823,  when  the  degree 
of  Master  of  Pharmacy  was  conferred  on  Dr.  Charles  T.  Wilstach,  a  graduate  of  the  Medical 
Department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  of  the  class  of  1820." 

New  College  Meets  Commendation 

The  new  College  of  Apothecaries  now  was  receiving  much  public  commenda- 
tion. The  action  of  the  trade  in  forming  such  an  organization,  said  the  National 
Gazette,  the  most  discriminating  newspaper  in  Philadelphia,  "will  no  doubt  attract 
attention  in  the  other  cities  of  the  Union  and  serve  as  an  operative  example.  The 
considerations  upon  which  it  has  been  established  deserve  to  be  brought  into  view 
everywhere  throughout  the  United  States."  (Issue  of  March  30,  1821.) 

The  National  Intelligencer  of  Washington,  the  most  influential  journal  in  the 
United  States,  assigned  great  importance  to  the  movement,  since  a  "large  propor- 
tion of  the  medicines  used  in  this  country,  the  Western  and  Southern  sections  par- 
ticularly, came  from  Philadelphia."  "We  know,"  stated  this  newspaper,  "of  no  late 
institution  which  promises  to  be  of  more  general  utility  and  importance."  In  no  line 
of  business  probably  was  there  "as  much  carelessness,  indeed  deception,  as  in  the 
sale  of  drugs  and  medicines,  nor  is  there  any  other  business  in  which  the  public  is 
so  immediately  and  vitally  interested."  "It  is  ba9  enough,"  the  writer  in  the  In- 
telligencer continued,  "to  be  obliged  to  take  good  medicines,  but  much  worse  to 
take  those  which  are  adulterated,"  and  "any  institution  having  for  its  object  the 
correction  of  such  abuses  is  worthy  of  public  notice  and  approbation."  The  officers 
of  the  College  were  rated  "among  the  most  respectable  and  wealthy  inhabitants  of 
Philadelphia."  and  there  could  be  "very  little  doubt  as  to  the  efficacy  of  the  meas- 
ures they  adopt  to  carry  into  effect  their  praiseworthy  intentions."  (Issue  of 
October  30,  1821.) 

First  Professors  of  the  College — Jackson  and  Troost 

On  April  23,  1821,  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College  met  again.  At  this 
time  Samuel  Jackson,  a  graduate  in  medicine  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
who  had  inherited  his  father's  drug  business  on  North  Fourth  Street,  destined  to 
attain  much  note  as  a  teacher  and  scientist,  was  elected  professor  of  materia  medica 
and  pharmacy.  Gerard  Troost,  a  Hollander,  had  become  a  prominent  figure  in 
the  city.  He  had  been  the  first  president  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences,  of 
Philadelphia.  Now  he  was  occupied  to  some  extent  at  the  Museum  of  Natural  His- 
tory of  Charles  Willson  Peale,  which  enjoyed  the  hospitality  of  the  State  House, 
and  was  making  a  geological  survey  of  the  country  surrounding  the  city  for  the 


64         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Philadelphia  Society  for  Promoting  Agriculture,  in  the  "segment  of  a  circle,"  an 
area  radiating  fifteen  miles  from  the  Rotunda  on  High  Street  west  of  the  Dela- 
ware. Richard  Peters,  president  of  the  society,  described  him  as  "an  intelligent 
and  scientific  character  to  whom  every  farmer  and  inhabitant  residing  within  the 
bounds  of  the  country  which  he  is  about  to  explore  should  show  every  attention  and 


SAMUEL  JACKSON 

afford  whatever  assistance  he  may  require  to  serve  the  interest  of  agriculture." 
(Democratic  Press  of  Phila.,  Sept.  29,  1821.)  Before  the  College  had  yet  been 
formed  he  had  projected  lectures  on  mineralogy.  (Paulson's  Advertiser,  Feb.  21, 
1821.)  This  plan  failing,  he  proposed  a  course  on  pharmacy  and  chemistry,  adver- 
tising in  Paulson's  Advertiser,  March  12,  1821,  as  follows: 

"The  subscriber  having  devoted  the  greatest  part  of  his  life  to  pharmaceutical  and  chem- 
ical preparations,  proposes  to  deliver  a  course  of  lectures  on  these  subjects,  in  which  will  be 
exhibited  every  process  and  combination  made  use  of  in  the  ordinary  practice  of  medicine 
and  the  arts.  The  lectures  will  include  the  commerce  and  natural  history  of  drugs,  etc. 
Subscription  papers  will  be  found  at  the  store  of  Messrs.  Samuel  P.  Wetherill  and  Co., 
North  Front  Street,  No.  65;  Messrs.  Littell  and  Henry,  Booksellers,  South  Second  Street, 
No.  74,  and  the  Hall  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences."  (G.  Troost.) 

He  was  marked  for  a  chair  in  the  new  school  and  the  Trustees  elected  him 
professor  of  chemistry.  But  he  held  the  post  for  only  a  year.  His  foreign  accent 
made  it  difficult  for  his  students  to  follow  his  lectures  and  derive  benefit  from  them,

so  after  satisfying  his  idealist  sympathies  for  a  time  at  the  communistic  center  at 
New  Harmony,  Ind.,  he  passed  to  Tennessee,  where,  at  the  University  of  Nashville, 
and  as  state  geologist,  he  continued  his  usefulness.  His  place  in  the  College  was 
taken  by  George  B.  Wood,  who  had  given  the  first  of  a  course  of  chemical  lectures 
in  Carpenters'  Hall  on  April  10,  1821,  with  the  encouragement  of  Charles  Marshall 
and  Daniel  B.  Smith,  and  who  had  been  in  mind  for  the  chair  when  Troost  was 
elected. 

First  Home — German  Society  Hall  (1821-1832) 

Both  the  College  and  the  Board  of  Trustees  still  held  their  meetings  in  Car- 
penters' Hall.  The  Trustees  must  find  a  room  in  which  the  lectures  might  be  given. 
In  July,  1821,  for  two  hundred  dollars  a  year,  they  procured  the  use  by  lease  of 
rooms  in  the  Hall  of  the  German  Society,  a  brick  building  on  Georgian  lines,  situ- 
ated on  the  west  side  of  Seventh  Street  between  Market  and  Chestnut  Streets  for 
the  purposes  of  a  respectable  beneficial  organization  which  had  been  established  in 
1764.  Later,  it  was  used  as  the  "City  Gas  Office,"  and  the  Master  Builders'  Ex- 
change now  occupies  the  site.  At  once  plans  were  laid  for  collecting  a  cabinet  of 
"choice  and  selected  specimens  of  drugs  and  medicines,"  and  a  library  for  the  use 
of  the  students  attending  the  school.  (A  list  of  the  books  in  the  collection  is 
printed  in  the  Druggist's  Manual,  published  by  the  College  in  1826,  113.)

GERMAN  SOCIETY  HALL 
The  First  Home  of  the  College— 1821-1832 

The  Trustees  began  to  advertise  the  courses  of  lectures.  It  was  noted  that  in 
Europe  pharmacy  had  been  withdrawn  from  the  care  of  the  physicians  and  con- 
signed to  that  of  the  apothecary,  and  that  this  division  had  been  recognized  and 
sanctioned  by  the  medical  profession,  and  that : 

"Colleges  of  apothecaries  and  other  similar  institutions  have  been  established,  devoted 
expressly  to  instruction  in  Pharmacy  and  its  subsidiary  sciences.  On  the  Continent,  most 
of  the  respective  governments  have  prohibited,  under  heavy  penalties,  any  one  from  selling 
or  preparing  Drugs  and  Medicines  for  administration  who  has  not  passed  through  a  course 
of  instruction  and  become  practically  acquainted  with  the  business.  In  Great  Britain  most 
Apothecaries  are  regularly  instructed  by  attendance  on  the  lectures  of  the  College  of  Apothe- 
caries of  London  and  Dublin  and  are  associated  as  members,  while  abuses  in  the  business 
are  guarded  against  by  severe  penalties  enacted  by  Parliamentary  statute.  In  this  country 
Pharmacy  has  been  entirely  neglected  as  a  science.  Previous  instruction  has  not  been  con- 
sidered indispensable  in  order  to  capacitate  an  apothecary  for  pursuing  his  profession,  while 
very  few  practitioners  of  Medicine  possessed  more  than  a  superficial  acquaintance  with  the 
principles  and  details  of  Pharmaceutic  knowledge.  From  this  state  of  things,  many  evils, 
some  of  a  serious  and  aggravated  nature,  have  flowed,  urgently  requiring  correction.  Many

apothecaries  of  this  city  have  long  been  sensible  of  the  necessity  of  taking  some  efficient 
measures  by  which  the  irregularities  and  abuses  that  have  crept  into  their  business  should 
be  abolished ;  and  that  their  profession  should  be  placed  on  that  respectable  footing  to  which 
it  is  entitled  by  its  usefulness  to  society  and  as  an  important  branch  of  the  science  of  medi- 
cine." (Philadelphia  Gazette,  October  25,  1821.) 

With  these  views  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Apothecaries  offered  to  the  pub- 
lic the  courses  of  lectures  of  Dr.  Jackson  and  Dr.  Troost.

work  of  the  first  college  of  pharmacy  in  the  United  States.  The  event  marked 
"an  era  in  the  medical  history  of  our  country."  (Jour.  Phila.  Coll.  Phar.,  Dec., 
1825,  2.)

The  result  had  not  been  achieved  without  internal  struggles.     Selfish  counsel 
had  to  be  overcome.  The  apothecaries  of  the  city,  stated  that  Daniel  B.  Smith,  one  of 
the  ablest  of  their  number,  practiced  their  art  but  "loosely  and  clumsily?1    r'Most, 
and  indeed  all"  of  those  who  had  established  the  school  were  men  who  made  no 
pretensions  to  accurate  science  or  profound  learning."  ^3y  education,"  said  some, 
/""the  promoters  of  the  College  would  raise  up  young  men  who  would  take  the  busi- 
I    ness  out  of  the  hands  of  those  who  have  created  it."     (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  July, 
S-1837,  97.)     Their  apprentices  would  soon  be  better  apothecaries  than  they  them- 
selves had  ever  been.    But  the  sponsors  of  the  movement  were  men  of  vision.    They 
had  "felt  the  evils  of  being  ignorant  of  scientific  principles  and  of  a  deficient  phar- 
marcy,"  said  Smith,  "and  they  were  resolved  to  apply  a  remedy."     (Jour.  Phila. 
Coll.  Phar.,  Jan.,  1830,  243.)     "We  would  educate  a  race  of  young  men  better 
instructed  than  ourselves,"  he  told  those  whose  objections  reached  his  ears,  and  if, 
then,  "we  should  be  forced  by  their  competition  to  reform  our  own  shops  and  to 
review  our  old  studies  both  we  and  the  community  would  be  the  gainers."     (Amer. 
[Jour.  Phar.,  July,  1837,  97.) 

Incorporation  of  the  College 

A  charter  for  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Apothecaries  was  sought  of  the  Leg- 
islature of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania  early  in  1822,  and  through  William  Lehman, 
an  influential  member  of  that  body,  and  a  vice  president  of  the  College,  the  act  of 
incorporation  as  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  passed  by  the  Senate 
and  the  House  of  Representatives  and  approved  by  Governor  Joseph  Heiser  on 
March  30,  1822.  It  is  said  that  William  Lehman  took  the  liberty,  on  his  own  re- 
sponsibility, of  altering  the  title  in  the  bill  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Apothe- 
caries to  the  more  appropriate  one  of  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  thereby 
compelling  the  unassuming  "apothecaries"  of  the  College  to  get  togefRer  later  and 
approve  the  change. 

Early  Days 

The  Philadelphia  College  of  Apothecaries  now  became  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy.  For  the  first  time  in  the  State,  for  the  first  time  in  the  country, 
the  important  bearing  of  the  pursuit  of  the  pharmacist  upon  the  general  welfare 
was  recognized  in  a  statute  book.  The  College  was  incorporated  because  "to  dis- 
pense drugs  and  medicines  for  the  use  of  the  sick  requires  knowledge  and  skill  of  a 
peculiar  kind,  an  ignorance  of  which  opens  the  door  to  numerous  abuses  and  evils, 
and  is  pregnant  with  serious  consequences  to  health  and  life,"  and  "because  it  is 
the  duty  of  every  good  government  to  protect,  as  far  as  in  it  lies,  its  citizens  from 
those  ills  and  dangers  to  which  they  become  exposed  in  the  multiplied  relations  of 
society,  by  promoting  and  encouraging  wholesome  institutions  and  regulations  cal- 
culated to  advance  the  well  being,  security  and  interests  of  the  community." 

As  the  work  proceeded,  the  zest  for  it  increased  in  the  hearts  of  the  friends  of 
the  institution.  When  Charles  Marshall  retired  from  the  presidency  in  1824,  be- 
cause of  physical  infirmities,  William  Lehman  was  advanced  to  that  position.  When 
Mr.  Lehman  died  in  1829,  the  place  was  taken  by  Daniel  B.  Smith,  who  served 
in  the  office  for  a  period  of  twenty-five  years,  with  the  useful  aid,  much  of  this  time, 
of  Henry  Troth,  acting  as  vice  president  and  as  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees.

The  election  of  George  B.  Wood  as  professor  of  chemistry  in  1822,  in  succes- 
sion to  Gerard  Troost,  almost  from  the  first  day  identified  with  the  school  a  man 
of  exceptional  ability  who  would  in  no  long  time  achieve  wide  renown.  He  occu- 
pied the  chair  for  fees  which  he  computed  would  not  exceed  $200  a  year,  with 
auditors  who  he  believed  would  not  number  more  than  thirty  of  an  evening. 
(George  M.  Beringer,  Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  Feb.,  1921,  99.) 

Dr.  Samuel  Jackson,  after  serving  six  years  in  the  College  as  professor  of 
materia  medica,  entered  the  Faculty  of  the  Medical  School  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania,  where  he  had  a  long  and  distinguished  career,  and  in  1827,  Dr.  Ben- 
jamin Ellis  succeeded  Jackson  and  "filled  that  station  with  great  reputation  and  suc- 
cess, having  the  happy  faculty  of  infusing  into  the  minds  of  his  pupils  an  ardent 
love  of  service."  (Jour.  Phila.  Coll.  Phar.,  1832,  180.)  In  1831,  Wood  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy  and  Franklin  Bache  was  elected 
to  the  chair  of  chemistry,  a  union  of  minds  which  set  the  school  forward  so  dis- 
tinctly that  it  came  to  have  an  eminent  national  and  indeed  international  position. 

Journal  of  the  College 

Philadelphia  was  deservedly  recognized  to  be  the  foremost  seat  of  medical  edu- 
cation in  the  country;  it  was  likewise  coming  into  a  place  of  leadership  in  all  that 
related  to  the  teaching  of  pharmaceutical  science.  The  school  was  aided  in  gaining 


7O         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 


its  reputation  by  its  early  publications.  In  1825  it  founded  the  Journal  of  the 
PJrtfudelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  which  began  to  appear  in  December,  1825, 
and  was  designed  as  a  medium  for  the  publication  of  original  essays  indicating 
the  advance  in  the  pharmaceutical  sciences,  for  the  transactions  of  the  College, 
and  such  other  material  as  might  be  advantageous  to  communicate  to  the  public. 
For  thirty  years,  the  French  had  had  their  Bulletin  de  Phannacic,  later  called  the 
^Journal  de  Pharmacie,  which,  appearing  from  time  to  time,  had  added  much  to  the 
knowledge  of  the  times.

TITLE  PAGE  OF  JOURNAL  OF  THE  COLLEGE  (Reduced  Size) 

The  publishing  committee  in  charge  of  the  Journal  of  the  Philadelphia  College 
of  Pharmacy  was  composed  of  Samuel  Jackson,  Editor,  Henry  Troth,  Solomon 
Temple,  Ellis  H.  Yarnall,  and  Daniel  B.  Smith,  and  the  first  article  in  the  first 
number  was  one  by  Mr.  Smith  "On  the  Preparation  of  Glauber's  and  Epsom  Salt 
and  Magnesia  from  Sea  Water,"  which  had  been  read  as  a  paper  before  the  College 
in  October,  1825.  It  was  proposed  that  there  be  monthly  issues,  but  only  four 
appeared  before  April,  1829  (October,  1825,  May,  1826,  September,  1827  and  No- 
vember, 1827),  when  Dr.  Benjamin  Ellis  began  the  publication  of  a  new  series. 
Associated  with  him  in  the  undertaking  were  Daniel  B.  Smith,  Charles  Ellis,  Samuel 
A.  Griffits,  Jr.,  and  George  B.  Wood,  the  printer  being  John  Grigg,  on  Fourth 
Street  just  north  of  Market  Street. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         71 

The  journal  was  now  to  make  its  appearance  quarterly  for  a  price  of  $2.50  per 
annum,  and  so  it  proceeded  until  1835.  It  had  been  courageously  carried  forward, 
issue  by  issue,  without  great  pecuniary  support,  as  may  be  well  understood,  by 
Dr.  Benjamin  Ellis,  and  after  his  death,  in  1831,  by  Dr.  R.  Eglesfeld  Griffith. 

Druggist's  Manual 

In  1826  the  College  issued  "The  Druggist's  Manual,"  which  a  committee  of 
members  had  prepared  —  a  catalogue  of  drugs  and  medicines,  with  columns  to  be 
filled  in  with  pencil  or  ink,  for  the  purpose  of  forming  a  price  current.  The  first 
and  principal  list  of  names  was  made  out  in  Latin  "according  to  the  modern  scientific 
nomenclature,"  to  which  were  added  paints,  dyestuffs,  glassware,  surgeons'  instru- 
ments and  miscellaneous  articles.  The  old  Latin  synonyms  and  the  English  syno-

nyms  were  found  in  other  tables  for  cross  referece,  and  there  were  lists  of  drugs  in 
the  French,  German  and  Spanish  languages  with  English  translations  of  the  terms. 
Following  these  were  tables  of  weights  and  measures  and  specific  gravities,  the 
doses  of  familiar  drugs,  and  the  verbal  contractions  used  in  prescription  writing, 
and  other  material  information  useful  in  compounding  medicines.  Thus  was  at- 
tained "one  of  the  first  objects  aimed  at  by  the  College."  It  was  regarded  as  "a 
harbinger  of  more  important  works"  which  would  "exert  a  decided  influence  over 
the  prosperity  of  American  Pharmacy."  (Jour.  Phila.  Coll.  Phar.,  1827,  96.)

Patent  Medicine  Abuses 

For  a  long  time  a  number  of  old  patent  medicines  covered  with  wrappers  which 
ascribed  the  most  remarkable  properties  to  the  compounds  were  in  general  use. 
They  had  originally  come  from  England  and  certain  recipes  had  been  on  file  at  the 
Office  of  Rolls  in  London  since  the  time  the  patents  were  granted.  Now  they  were 
made  in  this  country  in  various  ways.  In  May,  1822,  a  committee  was  named  by 
the  College  to  consider  a  proposal  for  correcting  such  abuses  which  had  grown  up 
in  connection  with  the  sale  of  these  remedies. 

In  1824  Daniel  B.  Smith,  Solomon  Temple  and  Samuel  Jackson  were  ready 
with  formulas  for  eight  of  the  medicines  most  in  use — Hooper's  Female  Pills,  An- 
derson's Scots  Pills,  Bateman's  Pectoral  Drops,  Godfrey's  Cordial,  Dalby's  Car- 
minative, Turlington's  Balsam  of  Life,  Steer's  Opodeldoc,  and  British  Oil.  It  was 
an  important  service.  For  instance,  ivory  black,  which  had  been  used  in  many 
cases  for  making  Hooper's  Female  Pills,  was  rejected  as  "a  clumsy  and  barbarous 
ingredient."  In  Bateman's  Drops,  the  committee  found  7^2  grains  of  opium  to 
the  pint  in  one  formula  in  use  by  American  apothecaries  and  106  grains  to  the  pint 
in  another  formula.  The  camphor  content  varied  still  more.  Castor  appeared  in 
some  recipes  in  place  of  catechu  "which  it  in  no  way  resembles."  The  amount  of 
Opium  contained  in  Godfrey's  Cordial  varied  "in  a  very  dangerous  degree"  from 
4.46  parts  down  to  0.92  parts  to  1,000  parts  of  the  liquid.  Compounders  of  British 
Oil  were  using  oil  of  turpentine,  flaxseed  oil,  spermaceti  oil,  and  oil  of  bricks, 
"a  nauseous  and  unskilful  preparation"  which  had  long  been  banished  from  the 
pharmacopoeias.  In  place  of  the  latter,  the  committee  introduced  Seneca  oil  or 
American  petroleum. 

In  conclusion,  the  committee  called  the  attention  of  the  Trustees  of  the  College 
to  the  character  of  the  printed  directions  for  these  medicines  as  follows  : 

"We  are  aware  that  long  custom  has  so  strongly  associated  the  idea  of  the  genuineness 
of  the  patent  medicines  with  particular  shapes  of  the  vials  that  contain  them  and  with  cer- 
tain printed  labels  as  to  render  an  alteration  in  them  an  affair  of  difficulty.  Many  who  use 
these  preparations  would  not  purchase  British  Oil  that  was  put  up  in  a  conical  vial,  nor 
Turlington's  Balsam  in  a  cylindrical  one.  The  stamp  of  the  excise,  the  king's  royal  patent, 
the  seal  and  coat  of  arms,  which  are  to  prevent  counterfeits,  the  solemn  caution  against 
quacks  and  imposters,  and  the  certified  lists  of  incredible  cures  have  not  even  now  lost  their 
influence.  In  stripping  these  medicines  of  their  extravagant  pretensions  and  false  assertions, 
the  committee  are  aware  that  they  incur  some  risk  of  decreasing  their  sale.  As  they  now 
stand,  however,  they  carry  a  falsehood  on  their  very  front  and  are  a  reproach  to  the  profes- 
sion. Owing  to  the  very  gross  falsifications  that  have  been  vended  under  their  name,  the 
confidence  of  the  public  in  them,  and  their  consequent  sale,  have  no  doubt  lessened.  If  the 
Trustees  should,  therefore,  adopt  the  report  which  is  now  laid  before  them ;  have  suitable 
papers  of  directions  for  the  medicines  prepared  and  printed ;  and  make  arrangements  for 
furnishing  them  to  such  of  the  members  as  should  adopt  these  recipes,  the  committee  believe 
that  the  reputation  of  the  College  preparations  would  soon  become  widely  spread  and  that 
we  should  reap  the  benefit  of  the  examination  which  has  now  been  made  in  an  increased 
public  confidence  in  the  institution  and  its  members,  the  influence  of  which  would  be  felt  in 
extending  the  drug  business  of  our  city." 

The  report  was  adopted  and  the  formulas  were  directed  to  be  prepared  and 
published  by  the  College.

TITLE  PAGE  OF  FORMULAE  OF  THE  COLLEGE  (Reduced   Size) 

When,  in  1829,  a  college  of  pharmacy  was  formed  in  New  York  city,  it  adopted 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  formulas  for  patent  medicines,  simply  adding 
one  for  balsam  of  honey.  (Jour.  Phila.  Coll.  Phar.,  April,  1834,  60.) 

Worse  than  these  were  the  new  secret  nostrums.  The  Medical  Society  of  the 
City  of  New  York  was  playing  an  honorable  part  in  "stripping  quackery  of  its 
mystery  and  borrowed  plumes,"  and  exposing  its  wickedness  while  it  deceived 
the  "multitude"  and  practiced  "upon  their  credulity  and  ignorance  at  the  expense 
of  their  purses  and  too  frequently  of  their  health  and  even  lives."  The  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  endorsed  and  gave  currency  to  the  New  York  reports  con- 
cerning Chambers'  Remedy  for  Intemperance,  Leroy's  Medicine  Curative  and 
Swaim's  Panacea.  (Jour.  Phila.  Coll.  Phar.,  Nov.,  1827,  114-27.) 

The  Swaim  swindle  was  of  particular  interest  to  Philadelphia.  William  Swaim 
had  been  a  bookbinder  in  the  city.  One  day  he  saw  a  recipe  for  a  medicine  in  a 
volume  upon  which  he  was  adjusting  the  cover,  and  while  exactly  identical  prepara- 
tions were  being  sold  under  other  names,  he  appropriated  it  to  himself  and  by 
skillful  advertising  began  to  rake  in  the  shekels  from  a  gullible  public.  He  soon 
moved  into  one  of  the  finest  residences  in  the  city  at  the  corner  of  Seventh  and 
Chestnut  Streets,  and  near  his  house  erected  public  baths  in  which  he  taught  Phila- 
delphians,  yet  little  accustomed  to  them,  the  value  of  the  tub,  shower  and  swimming 
pools,  a  much  more  useful  service  than  the  distribution  of  his  remedies. 


74         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
&*     r" — 

The  "Panacea"  as  a  ''purifier  of  the  blood"  had  no  "parallel."     It  was  "the 
*    (most  useful  spring  and  autumn  alterative  ever  known."     It  was  commended  to  all 


:'  who  were  affected  with  "scrofula  or  King's  evil,  scurvy,  eruptions  of  the  skin  or 
any  of  these  distressing  diseases  arising  from  impurity  of  the  blood,  also  those  who 
suffer  from  diseased  liver  or  dyspeptic  complaints,  or  from  indiscretion  of  their 
youth,  or  those  whose  constitutions  are  broken  down  by  mercurial,  antimonial  or 
arsenical  medicines." 

The  effect  of  taking  it  was  "such  as  not  to  interrupt  either  business  or  pleas- 
ure," Swaim  averred  in  his  advertisements.  There  were  "no  instances  of  failure" 
when  it  was  "properly  used."  Professors  and  "the  most  eminent  practitioners  in 
every  part  of  the  United  States,  and  in  every  part  of  the  world"  gave  high  praise 
to  the  "invaluable  medicine."  But  there  were  "numerous  and  multiplying  frauds." 
At  least  fifty  mixtures  more  or  less  injurious  were  made  in  imitation  of  this  one. 
None  was  genuine  without  Swaim's  signature  on  the  wrapper  and  the  great  picture 
of  Hercules,  looking  like  a  cave  man,  who  was  slaying  a  hydra-headed  dragon  with 
a  knotted  club.  The  price  was  $3  a  bottle,  as  much  as  it  cost  for  a  stage  and  boat 
ride  to  New  York,  or  $30  a  dozen. 

Robert  Hare,  professor  of  chemistry  in  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  ob- 
taining a  bottle  of  the  medicine  from  Peter  K.  Lehman,  analyzed  it,  found  that  it 
contained  mercury  and  published  the  fact,  to  meet  with  the  angry  protests  of  Swaim 
in  space  which  he  hired  in  the  daily  press.  (Jour.  Phila.  ^Coll.  Phar.,  Oct.,  1829.  239.) 

Early  Achievements 

Here  were  results  of  undoubted  value,  the  prophecies  of  the  founders  were 
being  fulfilled,  their  hopes  were  coming  to  fruition.  No  pretentious  plan  was  de- 
vised for  the  granting  of  degrees.  The  students  who  finished  their  prescribed  course 
and  satisfied  their  professors  upon  examination  as  to  their  proficiency  were  desig- 
nated as  "graduates  in  pharmacy."  ,Their  number  was  not  large — only  three  in  1826, 
the  first  year  when  any  were  graduated  (when  the  first  diploma  was  issued),  one 
in  1827,  three  in  1828,  seven  in  1829,  four  in  l&SOy'Prior  to  1850,  only  146  had 
been  graduated  from  the  school,  though  a  vastly  larger  number  had  heard  the  lec- 

1  cures  and  been  profited  thereby. 

s~krTB26  the  College  authorities  felt  that  they  could  truthfully  make  this  state- 
frient  of  its  achievements  in  the  first  five  years  of  its  history.    "At  this  time,"  they 

/said,  "the  College  includes  nearly  the  whole  of  the  druggists  and  apothecaries  of 
the  City  and  Liberties  who  have  thus  voluntarily  placed  themselves  under  a  sys- 
tem of  regulation  and  subjected  themselves  to  punishment  on  a  conviction  of  im- 
proper conduct  in  their  business.  A  spirit  of  improvement  and  desire  of  informa- 
tion have  been  widely  diffused  throughout  the  profession ;  greater  attention  is  paid 
to  the  selection  of  medicines  of  good  qualities ;  to  elegance  in  the  official  prepara- 
tions ;  to  care  and  neatness  in  the  compounding  of  prescriptions.  In  a  word,  a 
manifest  advancement  is  clearly  to  be  discerned  in  the  whole  business  of  the  apothe- 
cary ;  the  pharmacy  of  this  city  has  been  elevated  in  its  character  and  the  institu- 
tion of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  promises  to  attain  all  the  important 
beneficial  and  interesting  objects  that  are  derived  from  European  legislation,  freed 
from  the  objectionable  provisions  of  its  arbitrary  enactments."

LOAN   FOR  CHEMICAL  APPARATUS   (Reduced   Size) 

In  1829  a  committee  appointed  to  discuss  the  propriety  of  opening  a  loan  for 
$1,000  to  purchase  chemical  apparatus,  stated  that: 

"The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  has  now  been  in  existence  for  more  than  eight 
years;  during  that  period  it  has  with  slender  funds  and  through  many  discouraging  cir- 
cumstances effected  more  for  the  improvement  of  American  Pharmacy  than  all  that  has  been 
done  before  or  attempted  in  this  country.  It  has  produced  union  and  concert,  a  more  liberal 
spirit  and  more  elevated  views  among  the  apothecaries  of  Philadelphia ;  it  has  had  the  honor 
of  establishing  the  first  school  of  pharmacy  which  this  country  has  seen;  it  has  established 
the  first  and  only  journal  devoted  exclusively  to  the  science  and  art  of  the  profession ;  it  has 
resolved  a  company  of  shopkeepers  into  a  scientific  association,  the  inspiring  influence  o 
which  we  are  just  beginning  to  feel;  it  has  founded  a  valuable  professional  library;  and, 
more  than  all,  it  has  educated  a  race  of  young  men  with  more  accurate  science  and  more  ex- 
tensive knowledge  than  their  predecessors,  who  are  just  coming  upon  the  stage  of  action 
and  enrolling  themselves  as  members  of  the  institution  which  they  must  regard  as  their  alma 
mater,  in  whatever  part  of  the  world  their  future  lot  may  be  cast."  (Jour.  Phila.  Coll.  Phar., 
1829,  23.)* 


*  Not  the  least  important  factor  in  the  success  of  the  College  at  this  time,  despite  the 
"slender  funds  and  many  discouraging  circumstances,"  was  the  unswerving  faith  and  earnest- 
ness of  the  Board  of  Trustees  (which  included  the  officers  of  the  College)  in  the  performance 
of  their  duties ;  thus,  it  is  interesting  to  record  that,  on  May  21,  1827,  the  Board  of  Trustees 
decided  that  "a  fine  of  6J4  cents  be  imposed  on  members  of  the  Board  for  absence  at  roll 
call,  and  \2V2  cents  for  absence  from  meetings."  In  these  days  "fips"  and  "levies"  (6J4  and 
12J/2  cents),  in  shinplasters,  so  called,  were  used.  These  were  small  credit  slips  or  notes 
issued  by  a  number  of  city  institutions  and  business  houses,  and  circulating  as  currency.

Benjamin  Franklin  was  an  original  member  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital,  then  clerk  or 
secretary  of  the  Board  of  Managers  and  then  president.  He  founded  the  American  Philo- 
sophical Society,  the  College  of  Philadelphia,  later  merged  with  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, the  Library  Company  of  Philadelphia,  and  indirectly,  remote  as  it  may  seem,  through 
John  Morgan,  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy;  because  it  was  Franklin  who  had 
Morgan  elected  apothecary  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital  and  gave  him  material  aid  in  his 
medical  studies  abroad,  so  that  when  he  returned  to  this  country,  he  strenuously  fought  for 
the  separation  of  pharmacy  from  medicine,  and  as  a  result,  "the  course  pursued  by  Dr.  Mor- 
gan may  be  said  to  have  given  the  original  impulse  to  the  cultivation  of  the  profession  of 
pharmacy  and  sanctioned  its  independent  existence"  (Dr.  Joseph  Carson,  1869),  and  to  have 
led,  eventually,  to  the  institution  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  The  other  organi- 
zations referred  to  were  founded  after  Franklin's  demise. 


8o         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

I          Speaking  in  the  same  year  (1829),  Daniel  B.  Smith  said  that  as  a  result  of  the 
foundation  of  the  College  the  practice  of  pharmacy  had  "experienced  a  most  salu- 
tary and  remarkable  improvement."  fThere  was,"  said  he,  "not  any  business  or  trade 
fn  the  community  as  nearly  allied  to  The  learned  professions  and  for  a  fair  reputa- 
tion in  which  a  greater  degree  of  probity  and  intelligence  is  required  by  public  opin- 
,!  ion.    The  merchandise  in  which  we  traffic  is  brought  from  every  region  of  the~gTobe, 
j  an3" consists  of  so  great  a  variety  of  the  productions  of  the  animal,  the  vegetable 
I  and  the  mineral  kingdoms  that  to  be  a  skilful  druggist  is  to  be  not  merely  a  well- 
-informed merchant,  but  a  learned  naturalist.''     (Ibid.,  Jan.,  1830,  241-3.)     By  de- 
grees the  College  would  "render  the  title  of  a  Philadelphia  apothecary  by  another 
name  for  a  profound  chemist  and  naturalist  and  thus  place  the  business  where  it 

ought  to  be — in  the  rank  of  the  liberal  professions."    (Ibid.,  258.)

Certificates  of  Membership  in  College 

Commenting  upon  the  certificates  of  membership  and  the  seal  of  the  College, 
Thomas  S.  Wiegand  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1902,  453),  has  stated  that: 

"On  examining  some  old  certificates  of  membership  in  the  College  of  Apothecaries, 
which  have  lately  come  into  the  possession  of  the  College,  two  of  them  issued  in  1821,  the 
year  when  the  College  was  organized,  I  observed  above  the  sketch  of  the  laboratory  on  the 
certificate  a  legend  which  differs  somewhat  from  that  on  the  certificate  now  in  use  by  our 
College.  It  reads  thus  'Quern  scit  utcrque  exerceat  artem'—the  translation  of  which  is, 
'Let  each  one  practice  the  art  which  he  knows.'  In  the  year  following,  1822,  the  title  of  our 
College  was  adopted  and  the  act  of  incorporation  secured.  The  committee  who  were  charged 
with  the  duty  of  having  the  certificate  altered  to  correspond  with  the  corporate  name,  had 
the  legend  changed  to  a  quotation  from  one  of  Cicero's  writings,  and  it  reads,  'Quam  quisque 
novit  artem  in  hoc  se  exerceat' — the  translation  of  which  is,  'Let  each  one  exercise  himself 
in  the  art  which  he  knows.' 

"One  other  fact  should  be  noted  in  connection  with  these  legends  on  our  certificates — 
that  they  all  point  to  the  importance  which  the  organizers  of  our  College  attached  to  the 
educational  qualification  of  those  who  should  become  members  of  the  profession  and  asso- 
ciates in  the  College  work. 

"This  is  so  well  shown  by  the  legends: 

(1)  Let  each  one  work  in  the  business  he  knows. 

(2)  Let  each  one  exercise  himself  in  the  art  which  he  knows. 

(3)  The  legend  of  the  seal,  which  goes  further  and  tells  the  members  that  it  is  safety 

to  know  all  these  things. 

"Let  us  all  heed  the  lessons  that  the  worthy  pioneers  of  pharmacy  so  wisely  planned, 
and  so  earnestly  worked  to  carry  out  when  organizing  our  College ;  then  our  present  phar- 
macists will  live  in  the  kind  remembrances  of  their  successors  when  they  have  left  their  active 
labors  to  younger  hands." 

The  legend  of  the  seal  of  the  College  reads :  "Nosse  haec  omnia  salus  est,"  the 
translation  of  which  is :  "To  know  all  these  things  (as  exemplified  by  the  design  of 
the  seal)  is  safety" — that  is,  safety  of  health  and  life.

CHAPTER  III 
IN  A  HOME  OF  ITS  OWN— ZANE  STREET  BUILDING  (1832-1868) 

Wood 

The  coming  of  George  B.  Wood,  a  young  New  Jersey  Quaker,  to  the  College 
in  1822,  in  the  second  year  of  its  existence,  to  follow  the  not  very  successful  Gerard 
Troost  with  lectures  on  chemistry,  was  the  beginning  of  a  connection  which  con- 
tinued for  thirteen  years.  He  was  only  twenty-five  years  of  age.  After  taking  his 
A.B.,  he  entered  the  medical  school  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  and  he  had 
but  lately  received  his  degree  of  doctor  of  medicine.  Eager  and  ambitious,  with  a 


GEORGE  B.  WOOD 

comprehension  of  many  branches  of  learning  he,  in  1831,  upon  the  death  of  Ben- 
jamin Ellis,  was  transferred  to  the  professorship  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy. 
Wood  is  held  to  have  been  one  of  the  foremost  teachers  of  his  time.  Precise 
in  elocution,  sedate  of  disposition,  rather  formal,  and  indeed  ceremonious  in  manner, 
making  others  feel  at  times  a  certain  constraint  when  in  his  society  ("Memoir  of 
George  B.  Wood,"  S.  Littell),  his  courses  were  the  admiration  of  his  students.  His 
power  as  a  lecturer  all  freely  conceded,  and  his  auditory  was  always  filled.  By  the 


82         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

introduction  of  living  specimens  of  medicinal  plants  taken  from  the  fields  and  for- 
ests, supplemented  when  he  was  a  professor  in  the  University  from  his  own  private 
conservatories  and  botanical  garden,  he  awakened  the  liveliest  interest  in  his  hear- 
ers. His  use  of  pictures  and  charts  when  these  as  yet  were  but  little  relied  upon  in 
class  rooms,  his  resort  to  the  cabinet  of  minerals  and  drugs  for  illustration  of  the 
subjects  about  which  he  spoke,  gave  his  courses  a  high  reputation,  which  was  in- 
creased by  his  growing  fame  as  a  scientific  writer. 

Bache 

Franklin  Bache  was  five  years  older  than  Wood.  He  had  graduated  in  the  de- 
partment of  arts  in  1810,  and  later,  after  studying  in  the  office  of  Dr.  James  Rush, 
from  the  medical  school  of  the  University.  He  was  a  great  grandson  of  Benjamin 


FRANKLIN  BACHE 


Franklin  through  the  marriage  of  "Poor  Richard's"  daughter  Sarah  with  Richard 
Bache.*  His  father  was  Benjamin  Franklin  Bache,  the  indomitable  editor  of  the 
Aurora,  the  well-known  Philadelphia  anti-Federalist  newspaper  during  the  Wash- 
ington and  Adams  administrations  who  had  been  victim  of  the  yellow  fever  epi- 


*  Benjamin  Franklin  had  two  children,  William,  who  became  the  last  royal  Governor  of 
New  Jersey,  and  Sarah,  who  married  Richard  Bache,  the  president  of  the  Republican  Society 
of  Philadelphia  at  the  beginning  of  the  Revolution  and  subsequently  Postmaster  General  of 
the  United  States  (1776-1782). 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         83 

clemic  of  1798.  After  a  few  years  in  the  army,  to  which  he  was  drawn  as  a  surgeon 
in  the  War  of  1812,  he  settled  in  Philadelphia,  his  native  city,  for  the  practice  of 
medicine.  But  his  interest  called  him  to  lecturing,  writing  and  scientific  research. 
Some  of  the  public-spirited  men  who  were  concerned  in  the  foundation  of  the 
Philadelphia  Colleee  of  Pharmacy  a  little  later  (1824)  formed  the  Franklin  Institute. 
Bache  became,  in  1826,  one  of  the  public  lecturers  on  chemistry  in  this  latter  institu- 
tion, and  now  in  1831,  he  resigned  that  post  to  come  to  the  College  to  conduct  a 
course  on  the  same  subject. 

The  association  of  Wood  and  Bache  constituted  a  notable  era  in  the  history  of 
the  school.  They  were  eminently  qualified  to  serve  as  pioneers  in  the  development 
of  those  branches  of  knowledge  connected  with  its  particular  sphere  of  usefulness, 
and  though  Wood  joined  the  Faculty  of  the  Medical  School  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  in  1835  as  professor  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy,  as  the  suc- 
cessor of  John  Redman  Coxe,  and  Bache  passed  to  the  Jefferson  Medical  College 
in  1841.  and  they  were  to  develop  their  scientific  careers  under  new  auspices,  they 
continued  their  writings  in  the  field  of  pharmacy  and  put  their  lasting  mark  upon 
the  pharmaceutical  education  of  the  country. 

Bache  was  not  so  brilliant  as  Wood  in  the  lecture  room,  he  was  not  inventive. 
It  was  his  service  to  sift  the  truthful  and  valuable  from  the  work  of  others.  Method- 
ically and  conscientiously,  he  would  present  it  in  well-chosen  phrases,  simply  and 
clearly,  without  figure  of  speech,  though  not  without  recourse  at  times  to  anecdote 
or  the  introduction  of  a  humorous  remark.  His  students  then,  while  they  felt  them- 
selves in  the  presence  of  one  from  who  they  could  derive  great  profit,  were  not 
likely  to  be  warmed  or  entertained  as  they  might  be  in  the  lecture  rooms  of  other 
men.  ("Memoir  of  Franklin  Bache,"  Dr.  G.  B.  Wood.  Prepared  for  the  College  of 
Physicians;  also  "Historical  Memoirs  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy," 
Mel  ward  Parrish.) 

Early  American  Pharmacopoeias 

While  these  men  labored  for  the  College,  adding  to  its  reputation,  it  had  for 
its  president,  wrote  Dr.  George  B.  Wood  in  1860,  a  man  who  "contributed  more 
than  any  other  one  individual  to  the  impetus  which  carried  the  pharmacy  of  this 
country  to  its  present  relatively  high  position."  This  was  Daniel  B.  Smith,  who 
stood  "among  the  first  apothecaries  of  his  time  in  literary  and  scientific  attainment, 
peculiar  skill  in  his  art  and  general  reputation,"  ready  at  all  times  to  support  and 
promote  whatever  movement  might  be  instituted  to  forward  the  interests  of  the 
College  and  the  profession  of  pharmacy.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1883,  341.) 

The  pharmacopoeias  in  use  in  this  country  prior  to  1820  were  incomplete  and 
unofficial.  The  medical  profession  had  "no  authorized  pharmaceutical  guide  and 
the  apothecaries  no  general  recognized  standards  for  the  preparation  of  medicine." 
British,  French  and  German  books  were  to  be  found  in  the  libraries  of  leading 
physicians  and  in  the  "back  rooms"  of  the  principal  apothecaries.  The  pharma- 
copoeias of  the  London,  Edinburgh  and  Dublin  Colleges — these  had  not  yet  been 
united — were  more  looked  to  perhaps  than  any  others,  and  "the  fact  that  these 
works,  in  many  particulars,  in  the  strength  of  medicines  and  their  mode  of  prepara- 
tion, aided  by  the  adoption  of  the  one  or  the  other  of  them  in  different  localities  or 


84         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

by  different  individuals  in  the  same  place,  gave  to  the  pharmacy  of  this  country  an 
irregularity  and  uncertainty  hardly  now  to  be  appreciated  and  it  is  to  be  hoped 
never  again  realized."  (Wm.  Procter,  Jr.,  Amer.  Jour.  Pharm.,  April,  1846,  1.) 

The  First  Pharmacopoeia  Published  in  the  United  States 

The  first  pharmacopoeia  published  in  the  United  States  of  America  was  pub- 
lished by  Styner  and  Cist  of  Philadelphia  in  1778.  It  was  printed  entirely  in  Latin 
upon  32  pages,  the  text  occupying  upon  each  page  4%  inches  in  length  and  2l/2 
inches  in  width.  It  was  compiled  by  Dr.  William  Brown,  Physician-General  to  the 
Hospitals  of  the  United  States,  at  the  Continental  Hospital  located  in  Lititz,  Lan- 
caster Co.,  Pa.,  in  the  building  now  occupied  by  the  Lititz  Academy,  formerly  the 
Brothers'  House,  "for  the  use  of  the  Military  Hospital  belonging  to  the  Army  of 
the  United  States  of  America.  Adapted  especially  to  our  present  state  of  need  and 
poverty,  which  we  owe  to  the  ferocious  cruelty  of  the  enemy,  and  to  a  cruel  war 
brought  unexpectedly  upon  our  fatherland."  A  second  edition  appeared  in  1781, 
on  the  title  page  of  which  Dr.  William  Brown  is  mentioned  as  author. 


MORAVIAN  CHAPEL,  BROTHER'S  HOUSE,  BUILT  1761,  LITITZ,  PA. 

Building  used  by  order  of  General  George  Washington  as  a  military  hospital  during  1777-1778.     The  tablet 

on   the   wall   was  erected  by   the   Lititz    Moravian    Congregation    "in    memory    of   the   brave    soldiers    of   the 

Continental    Army   who   died    in   this   building." 

Dr.  Brown  was  a  son  of  the  Rev.  Richard  Brown,  and  was  born  in  Virginia 
in  1748.  His  grandfather  was  Gustavus  Brown,  a  Scotch  physician  and  surgeon 
of  repute.  After  receiving  his  early  education  at  home,  he  was  sent  to  Edinburgh, 
Scotland,  where  he  finished  his  academic  course  and  attended  medical  lectures.  On 
his  return  to  Virginia  he  began  to  practice  his  profession  near  Alexandria,  where 
he  intermarried  with  the  Alexander  family.  On  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  for 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         85 

Independence,  he  offered  his  services,  and,  although  but  twenty-eight  years  of  age, 
was  soon  advanced  to  the  responsible  position  of  physician-general  to  the  hos- 
pitals of  the  United  States  Army.  He  died  in  1792  and  was  buried  in  the  family 
burying  ground  of  the  descendants  of  John  Alexander,  a  younger  son  of  the 
Earl  of  Sterling.  On  his  tombstone  is  inscribed  the  following: 

"In  Memory  of  William  Brown,  M.D.,  formerly  Physician-General  to  the  Hospitals  of 
the  United  States.  .  .  .  His  zeal  and  fidelity  as  a  patriot;  his  patience,  diligence  and  skill 
as  a  physician ;  his  benevolence,  courtesy  and  integrity  as  a  man,  secured  him  the  applause  of 
his  country,  and  the  honor  and  endowment  of  his  profession,  the  respect  of  the  wealthy 
and  the  veneration  of  the  poor.  ...  As  a  husband,  father  and  master,  he  was  tender,  in- 
structive and  humane ;  he  lived  without  guile,  and  he  died  without  reproach." 

Upon  one  of  the  blank  pages  of  a  copy  of  the  first  edition  of  this  Pharma- 
copoeia in  the  possession  of  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania,  there  is  written, 
in  the  handwriting  of  Dr.  Brown,  a  letter  addressed  by  him  to  Dr.  Moses  Bloom- 
field,  Junior  Physician  and  Surgeon  of  the  General  Hospital,  which  is  photograph- 
ically reproduced  in  the  following  pages  by  courtesy  of  the  Historical  Society  of 
Pennsylvania,*  as  are,  also,  the  pages  of  the  first  edition  of  the  volume  itself,  which 
have  not  been  hitherto  published. 

The  letter  to  Dr.  Bloomfield  reads  as  follows : 

FOR  DR.  MOSES  BLOOMFIELD, 

Jun.  Phys.  &  Surg.  Gen.  Hosp'l. 

For  the  sake  of  expedition  and  accuracy  in  performing  the  Practice,  &  also  to  introduce 
a  degree  of  uniformity  therein  throughout  the  several  hospitals,  the  following  Pharmacopieia 
has  been  compiled,  consisting  of  such  formulae  as  it  is  always  in  our  power  to  obtain ;  at  the 
same  time  blank  pages  are  interleaved  for  the  insertion  of  any  favourite  or  more  usefull 
formulae  which  the  prescribers  may  choose  to  make  use  of  in  addition  or  in  place  of  any  of 
those  herein  contained ;  but  these  have  in  a  series  of  Practice  been  found  both  convenient  & 
efficacious  &  are  recommended  to  be  generally  used  in  the  hospitals  by 

WM.  BROWN, 

Phys.  Gen'l,  M.D. 


*  The  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania  was  organized  in  1824  and  incorporated  in 
1826.  Daniel  B.  Smith,  apothecary,  one  of  the  incorporators  of  the  Society,  was  the  first 
president  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  one  of  the  most  active  spirits  of 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  The  Society  began  in  a  humble  way,  occupying,  suc- 
cessively, the  rooms  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society,  the  Athanaeum,  premises  belong- 
ing to  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital,  and  lastly  its  present  building  at  Thirteenth  and  Locust 
Streets.  From  nineteen  original  members,  it  has  increased  to  2,800,  and  its  library  contains 
thousands  of  volumes,  pamphlets  and  relics  of  rich  historical  interest.

Local  Pharmacopoeias 

Early  in  1787  Dr.  John  Morgan  proposed  to  the  College  of  Physicians  of  Phila- 
delphia the  compilation  and  publication  of  a  pharmacopoeia  for  Pennsylvania,  and 
in  1788,  before  enough  of  the  thirteen  states  had  yet  ratified  the  Federal  Consti- 
tution to  make  it  effective,  the  College  appointed  a  committee  to  take  up  the  subject 
of  issuing  some  work  which  could  serve  as  a  national  standard  (W.  S.  W.  Ruschen- 
burger.)  Nothing  further  was  done  until  the  Massachusetts  Medical  Society  ap- 
pointed a  committee  to  draft  a  pharmacopoeia  adapted  to  the  wants  of  their  section 
of  the  country,  the  committee  consisting  of  two  physicians  of  Boston,  Dr.  James 
Jackson  and  Dr.  John  C.  Warren,  who  collaborated,  and  the  work  was  issued  early 
in  1808,  as  "The  Pharmacopoeia  of  the  Massachusetts  Medical  Society." 

Here  the  subject  rested  until  1815,  when  the  Physicians  and  Surgeons  of  the 
New  York  Hospital  appointed  Dr.  Samuel  Latham  Mitchill  and  Dr.  Valentine  Sea- 
man to  prepare  a  pharmacopoeia  for  that  institution ;  it  was  issued  in  1816. 


The  First  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia 

The  national  pharmacopoeia,  however,  was  still  unborn.  In  1817,  Dr.  Lyman 
Spalding  submitted  to  the  Medical  Society  of  the  County  of  New  York  a  proposal 
for  a  national  work  to  be  prepared  and  published  by  the  medical  societies  and 
schools  of  the  United  States.  These  should  send  delegates  to  four  conventions — 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         95 

in  the  New  England  States  to  Boston,  in  the  Middle  States  to  Philadelphia,  in  the 
Southern  States  to  Charleston,  S.  C,  in  the  Western  States  to  Lexingon,  Ky.,  the 
seat  of  Transylvania  University.  These  conventions,  making  drafts  of  a  pharma- 
copoeia, should  submit  these  drafts  to  a  national  convention,  which  would  meet  in 
Washington  in  January,  1820. 

In  the  Middle  States,  the  lead  was  taken  by  the  College  of  Physicians  of  Phila- 
delphia whose  interest  in  the  undertaking  preceded  that  of  New  York  and  Boston 
and,  as  subsequent  events  abundantly  proved,  concerned  itself  far  more  than  any 
other  institution  in  the  "improvement,  progress  and  ultimate  establishment"  of  the

Pharmacopoeia  as  the  recognized  national  standard.  ("Memoir  of  Franklin  Bache," 
George  B.  Wood.)  Delegates  from  colleges  and  societies  in  New  York,  Pennsyl- 
vania, New  Jersey,  Maryland,  Delaware  and  the  city  of  Washington  met  in  the 
chamber  of  the  College  of  Physicians  in  Philadelphia  on  June  1,  1819.  Ten  dele- 
gates were  named  to  meet  in  Washington  the  following  year. 

At  the  appointed  time  the  delegates  from  the  districts  gathered  in  Washing- 
ton, though  little  co-operation  came  from  the  South  and  West.  Dr.  Samuel  L. 
Mitchill,  of  New  York,  presided  over  the  convention,  which  adopted  a  draft  for  the 
work.  It  was  to  appear  under  the  editorship  of  a  committee  of  which  Dr.  Spald- 
ing  was  chairman,  and  was  to  be  revised  and  republished  every  ten  years. 


96         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

At  last  the  dream  was  realized.  Bearing  the  title  "The  Pharmacopoeia  of  the 
United  States  of  America,"  it  was  published  in  Boston  in  December,  1820.  ("A 
Retrospect  of  the  Development  of  American  Pharmacy,"  by  Frederick  Hoffman, 
pp.  14-6;  "A  Sketch  of  Dr.  Lyman  Spalding,"  Anier.  Jour.  Phar.,  June,  1919.) 

The  book  was  being  issued  about  the  time  the  new  college  of  pharmacy  was 
being  instituted  in  Philadelphia.  Eliakim  Littell,  the  well-known  Philadelphia  book- 
seller, who  later  founded  Littell's  Living  Age,  was  taking  advance  subscriptions  for 
the  work  at  $2  a  volume.  (Paulson's  Advertiser,  March  19,  1821.^/As  soon  as  it 
appeared  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  ready  with  wholesome  jcrjti- 
cism.  A  committee  pointed  out  errors  which  had  crept  into  the  book.  They  prop- 
erly  held  that  in  the  revisions  which  were  contemplated  the  apothecaries  and  drug- 
gists of  the  country  should  be  conferred  with.  Both  professions,  medicine  and 
—.pharmacy,  should  each  have  a  hand  in  a  work  in  which  they  were  equally  interested. 

Development  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia 

As  the  time  for  the  revision  of  1830  drew  near,  the  College  of  Physicians  of 
Philadelphia,  appointed  a  committee  to  prepare  and  submit  a  draft  to  the  Conven- 
tion when  it  should  meet  in  Washington.  Dr.  Thomas  T.  Hewson,  President  of 
the  College,  Joseph  Hartshorne,  Dr.  George  B.  Wood  and  Dr.  Franklin  Bache  were 
members.  They  held  more  than  one  hundred  meetings  at  Hewson's  house. 
("Memoir  of  Thomas  T.  Hewson,"  Franklin  Bache.)  Both  Wood  and  Bache  gave 
themselves  unsparingly  to  the  service.  So  many  alterations  were  found  to  be  neces- 
sary, that  the  Pharmacopoeia  of  1820  was  almost  entirely  rewritten,  in  some  in- 
stances two  or  three  times  in  Wood's  own  hand.  (Henry  Kraemer,  Anier.  Jour. 
Phar.,  Sept.,  1916.)  The  labors  of  the  committee  covered  a  period  of  nine  months 
with  absolutely  no  recompense  "other  than  the  consciousness  of  duty  performed  and 
public  benefit  conferred."  ("Memoir  of  Franklin  Bache,"  George  B.  Wood.) 

Wood  and  Bache  were  delegates  from  the  College  of  Physicians  of  Philadel- 
phia to  the  Convention  in  Washington.  Few  attended  the  meetings  which  were  held 
in  a  room  in  the  capital — only  eight,  all  told,  were  present,  but  an  organization  was 
effected,  the  Philadelphia  report  was  adopted,  and  it  was  referred  to  a  number  of 
physicians  in  different  parts  of  the  country  for  suggestions  and  changes  prepara- 
tory to  its  publication.  Still  the  apothecary  had  no  hand  in  giving  form  to  the 
/work,  except  as  Wood,  who  was  a  professor  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  and  Bache,  who  soon  would  be,  might  be  able  to  put  the  starripTof  ttre~° 
pharmacist  upon  it.  They  deplored  the  want  of  such  counsel  and  assistance" "Any 
one  who  considers  for  a  moment  the  nature  and  purpose  of  a  pharmacopoeia,"  said 
Wood — "that  all  its  formulas  are  for  the  guidance  of  the  apothecary  and  that  he, 
much  better  than  the  physician,  as  a  general  rule,  understands  their  principles  and 
modes  of  execution,  must  see  at  a  glance,  if  free  from  prejudice,  how  unjust  and 
at  the  same  time  impolite  was  this  exclusiveness."  (Ibid.) 

But  as  yet  the  pharmacists  of  the  country  were  without  organization,  and  few 
in  their  ranks  were  educated  men.  In  their  improvement,  Philadelphia  was  lead- 
ing the  way  and  even  now,  in  1830,  before  finally  going  to  press  with  the  work, 
through  Wood's  influence,  the  manuscript  was  submitted  to  a  committee  of  the 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy         97 

Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  which  examined  it,  returned  it  with  their  en- 
dorsenu'iit,   subject  to   a   number  of   valuable   suggestions   which   were  adopted. u 

The  resultant  work  was  published  after  delay  in  April,  1831,  by  John  Grigg, 
of  Philadelphia.  It  immediately  won  that  reputation  for  scientific  accuracy,  which 
many  men  in  repeated  revisions  since  that  time  have  contributed  their  knowledge 
and  time  to  maintain,  and  established  a  national  authority  for  drugs.  It  became  a 
standard  "morally  as  obligatory"  upon  both  professions,  to  use  the  words  of  Wood, 
"as  if  it  had  been  brought  forth  under  the  sanction  of  law."  (Ibid.) 

The  First  U.  S.  Dispensatory 

Wood  and  Bache  now  gave  themselves  to  an  even  greater  task,  the  prepara- 
tion  of  an  elaborate  commentary  on  the  Pharmacopoeia,  to  be  called  the  "Dispensa- 
tory of  the  United  States  of  America."  With  works  of  this  kind,  too,  the  scientific 
literature  of  the  country  was  but  illy  supplied.  Dr.  John  Redman  Coxe  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania  had  prepared  and  issued  such  a  book  in  1807.  It  was  gen- 
erally used  for  several  years  and  passed  through  six  editions,  the  last  in  1831. 
Dr.  James  Thacher  published  a  Dispensatory  in  Boston  which  was  reissued  four 
times. 

British  works,  from  which  ours  in  this  country  were  chiefly  compiled,  were 
little  more  than  re-edited  copies  of  a  book  "certainly  of  acknowledged  merit  but 
little  adapted  to  the  present  state''  of  medical  and  pharmaceutical  knowledge.  The 
book  referred  to  was  Lewis's  Dispensatory,  first  published  in  the  middle  of  the 
eighteenth  century,  which  formed  the  groundwork  alike  of  Duncan's  Edinburgh 
Dispensatory  and  Thomson's  London  Dispensatory. 

Without  underestimating  the  value  of  the  earlier  American  treatises,  or  the 
British  works  from  which  they  were  developed,  Wood  and  Bache  perceived  that  the 
pharmacy  of  continental  Europe  was  ground  which  had  been  almost  untouched, 
while  much  information  in  relation  to  the  natural  history,  commerce  and  manage- 
ment of  our  own  drugs  had  lain  ungathered  in  the  possession  of  individuals  or 
scattered  in  separate  treatises  and  periodicals  not  generally  known  or  read.  There 
was  "no  general  explanation"  of  the  processes  of  the  Pharmacopreia  "though  re- 
quired in  justice  both  to  that  work  and  the  public,"  and  the  hope  of  supplying  these 
deficiencies  the  authors  considered  a  "sufficient  justification"  of  the  undertaking. 
(Preface  of  first  edition  of  U.  S.  Dispensatory,  1833,  vi.) 

Wood  and  Bache  met  at  the  home  of  Daniel  B.  Smith  one  evening  in  October, 
1830,  before  the  Pharmacopoeia  of  1830  had  yet  been  published,  and  agreed  upon  a 
plan  for  the  work  they  had  in  mind.  Bache  would  contribute  the  articles  on  mineral 
substances  and  those  resulting  from  purely  chemical  processes,  Wood  would  deal 
with  the  vegetable  materia  medica,  while  Smith  was  to  take  charge  of  the  phar- 
maceutical part  of  the  work.  But  Smith,  after  writing  a  few  articles,  found  that  he 
could  not  proceed  with  as  much  as  had  been  assigned  to  him  because  of  his  other 
engagements,  and  he  withdrew,  whereupon  Wood  took  over  the  additional  duty  of 
preparing  the  articles  which  lay  within  the  field  of  pharmacy.  His  share  thus  be- 
came two  thirds  of  the  work  and  Bache's  one  third.  In  all  when  it  was  completed, 
as  it  was  in  less  than  two  years,  it  was  published  from  the  press  of  Grigg  and  Elliott 


98         First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

in  Philadelphia  in  1833.  A  second  edition  was  called  for  before  a  twelve  month 
had  passed.  The  work  instantly  gained  and  held  the  confidence  of  the  medical  and 
pharmaceutical  professions.  Many  came  to  know  the  Pharmacopoeia  only  through 
the  Dispensatory,  the  master  work  only  through  the  commentary;  it  became  the 
Codex  of  American  Pharmacy.  In  a  period  of  ten  years  the  work  ran  into  its 
fifth  revised  edition  (1843).  Its  size  was  increased  to  admit  of  the  introduction  of 
matter  necessary  to  make  it  a  complete  compendium  of  existing  information  which 
it  was  designed  to  be,  and  it  became  the  first  of  powers  "to  dispel  the  ignorance, 
apathy  and  indifferences  that  depressed  one  of  the  most  extensive  and  necessary  de- 
partments of  medical  science."  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1843,  170-71.)  "It  would 
be  impossible,"  said  another  writer  in  alluding  to  this  work,  "to  estimate  its  in- 
fluence in  educating  and  informing  the  mass  of  those  concerned  in  the  sale,  prepa- 
ration and  administration  of  medicines."  (Ibid.,  1864,  276.) 

-  During  fifty  years  the  work  was  revised  to  pass  through  no  less  than  fourteen 


editions.  Their  names  linked  upon  the  title  page,  one  as  "Professor  of  Materia 
Medica  and  Pharmacy  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,"  the  other  as  "Pro- 
fessor of  Chemistry  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,"  was  a  patent  of 
nobility,  wherever  the  book  went.  In  no  other  way  could  the  College  have  been 
so  rapidly  to  its  high  position  as  a  scientific  institution. 


Physical  Development  of  the  College 

In  the  meanwhile,  the  College  was  growing  slowly  —  but  it  was  growing.    As 
Joseph  P.  Remington  has  stated  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1893,  113)  : 

"The  College  in  the  first  few  years  of  its  existence  was  unable  to  erect  a  building,  but 
it  was  compelled  to  rent  a  suitable  place  in  which  to  deliver  the  lectures.  The  Hall  of 
the  German  Society,  on  Seventh  Street  above  Chestnut,  was  rented,  and  here  for  seven 
years  the  lectures  were  delivered.  But  in  1829,  on  May  19,  it  became  necessary,  owing  to  the 
German  Society  needing  the  rooms  occupied  by  the  College,  to  appoint  a  Committee  to  en- 
deavor to  secure  a  permanent  situation  for  the  College.  The  following  quotations  from  the 
minutes  of  the  College  show  clearly  and  succinctly  how  the  first  building  devoted  to  pharma- 
ceutical instruction  erected  in  America  came  into  being. 

"On  November  21,  1831,  the  Committee  appointed  to  select  a  site  for  a  building  reported 
'that  two  sites  for  the  purpose  can  be  obtained,  one  situated  on  the  southwest  corner  of 
Marble  and  Tenth  Street  (Marble  Street:  running  east  and  west  between  Chestnut  Street 
and  Market),  containing  on  Tenth  a  front  of  38  feet,  and  running  in  depth  60  feet  to  a  6- 
foot  wide  alley,  thus  presenting  a  front  of  three  sides  ;  the  price  asked  for  this  site  is  $8,000. 
The  whole  extent  of  the  lot  is  96  feet  on  Tenth  Street,  running  back  92  feet,  the  asking  price 
being  $20,000.'  The  financial  condition  of  the  College  at  that  time  is  indicated  by  the  fol- 
lowing conclusions  of  the  Committee  :  'As  a  matter  of  speculation,  it  would  be  preferable 
to  purchase  the  whole  lot,  but  in  the  opinion  of  your  Committee  it  is  too  heavy  a  concern  to 
enter  into." 

"  'The  second  is  situated  on  the  south  side  of  Zane  Street,  adjoining  Six's  sugar-house,  by 
which  it  is  bounded  on  the  west,  at  the  east,  by  a  10-foot  wide  alley,  and  on  the  south  by  a 
vacant  lot,  which  is  to  continue  always  open,  thus  presenting  three  fronts,  which  is  desirable 
on  account  of  light.  The  lot  is  30  feet  on  Zane  Street  (now  Filbert  Street)  running  to  a 
depth  of  46  feet.' 

"The  Committee  were  authorized  to  offer  Abraham  Miller  $225  per  annum  for  the  lot, 
on  ground  rent,  redeemable  in  20  years  for  the  sum  of  $4,500.  The  Committee  were  also 
authorized  to  obtain  subscribers  to  a  loan  at  6  per  cent  interest  for  the  purpose  of  erecting 
a  building  on  the  lot.

"On  December  13,  1831,  Abraham  Miller  informed  the  Committee  of  his  acceptance  of 
the  above  offer  for  the  lot. 

"On  April  23,  1832,  the  Building  Committee  were  directed  to  erect  a  building  on  the 
Zane  Street  Lot,  as  soon  as  subscriptions  to  the  amount  of  $6,000  were  obtained.* 

"The  Building  Committee  reported  on  June  24,  1833 :  'Subscriptions  to  the  College  loan 
having  been  obtained  to  the  amount  of  $6,300  the  Committee  proceeded  at  once  with  the 
work.' 


ZANE  STREET  BUILDING  OF  THE  COLLEGE— 1832-1868 
Wherein  the  American   Pharmaceutical  Association  was  organized  in   1852 

"The  following  description  of  the  old  College  building,  as  it  appeared  in  the  eyes  of  the 
Committee,  may  be  interesting:  'The  dimensions  of  the  College  are  30  feet  9  inches  front, 
by  46  feet  in  depth,  and  four  stories  high,  the  first  and  second  stories  being  sufficiently  lofty 
for  lecture  rooms,  with  seats  rising  as  they  recede  from  the  speaker's  desk.  In  order  to  ad- 
mit light  over  the  most  elevated  seats,  the  front  windows  are  larger  than  usual,  and  hand- 
somely finished  with  head-pieces  of  the  best  white  marble;  those  of  the  second  story  being 
circular  tops.  The  front  or  main  doorway  is  finished  with  an  elevated  white  marble  entabla-

ture,  supported  by  fluted  Doric  columns  of  the  same  material,  the  eastern  side  and  back  part 
of  the  building  being  open  and  unobstructed.  The  Committee  availed  themselves  of  this  im- 
portant advantage  in  location  by  placing  windows  so  as  to  admit  abundant  light  and  free 
circulation  of  air  through  every  part  of  the  building.  The  College  is  57  feet  high,  and  is  sur- 
mounted by  a  battlement  cornice  of  considerable  width,  which  gives  a  commanding  appear- 
ance ;  and  your  Committee  have  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  the  whole  edifice  is  excelled  by 
few,  if  any,  of  equal  dimensions  in  our  city,  whether  in  design  and  beauty  of  structure,  or 
in  its  adaptation  to  the  purposes  for  which  it  was  erected.'  The  cost  of  the  building  was 
$8,323.74." 

Development  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy 

The  Journal  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  beginning  in  1825,  con- 
tinued under  the  editorship  of  Dr.  R.  Eglesfeld  Griffith,  assisted  by  a  Publishing 
Committee  consisting  of  Daniel  B.  Smith,  Charles  Ellis,  Joseph  Scattergood  and 
George  B.  Wood,  until  1835.  when  in  recognition  of  its  really  national  character  its 
'  name  was  changed  to  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy.  Dr.  Griffith  for  the  most 
of  the  time  that  he  had  been  the  editor  of  the  journal,  after  the  decease  of  Benjamin 
Ellis,  was  a  professor  in  the  Philadelphia  School  of  Medicine.  Though  he  pub- 
lished nearly  ninety  articles  in  the  journal  he  had  never  lectured  in  the  College. 
But  now,  upon  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Wood,  in  1835,  he  became  professor  of  ma- 
teria  medica  and  pharmacy,  a  place  which  he  held,  however,  for  but  a  year,  since  in 
September,  1836,  he  resigned  to  accept  a  chair  in  the  University  of  Maryland. 

Important  as  was  the  influence  of  the  Journal,  exerted  in  the  spread  of  scien- 
tific knowledge  on  pharmaceutical  subjects  and  in  advancing  the  interests  of  the  Col- 
lege, its  publication  was  carried  on  with  difficulty.  Appeals  were  made  to  the 
pride  of  the  profession,  from  time  to  time,  without  much  response.  "The  Journal," 
said  Dr.  Griffith  in  1832,  was  "the  only  publication  of  the  kind  in  the  United  States." 
It  was  "devoted  exclusively  to  the  furtherance  of  the  pharmaceutic  art,"  on  which 
account  "we  trust,"  said  the  editor,  "that  it  will  continue  to  receive  such  support  as 
will  enable  the  committee  to  increase  its  usefulness."  But  as  such  a  result  could  be 
accomplished  only  by  "an  extended  patronage,"  subscribers  were  reminded  that  "on 
a  promptness  in  transmitting  their  annual  payments  the  existence  of  the  Journal 
depends."  It  was  "only  by  unceasing  exertions  on  the  part  of  the  committee"  that 
they  were  enabled  "to  fulfill  their  engagements."  "Let  it  not  be  said,"  the  editor 
concluded,  that  "the  pharmaceutists  of  this  country  felt  too  great  an  apathy  and  so 
little  zeal  in  their  profession  as  to  permit  the  only  journal  devoted  to  the  objects  of 
their  pursuits  to  languish  and  die."  (Preface,  Vol.  Ill,  1832,  iii-iv.) 

Philadelphia — The  Mecca  of  American  Pharmacy 

Just  as  Philadelphia  occupied  a  position  of  leadership  in  the  country  with  refer- 
ence to  medicine,  law  and  many  other  subjects;  just  as  it  was  a  center  for  the  im- 
port and  export  business,  and  the  manufacturing  and  jobbing  trades  in  many  lines 
of  merchandise,  so  did  the  city  hold  a  controlling  position  in  the  drug  trade.  The 
medical  schools  brought  students  to  Philadelphia;  when  they  graduated  and  were 
ready  for  practice  there  were  always  some  to  remain  in  the  community.  Not  a  few 
of  them  increased  the  city's  distinction  as  a  medical  center. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       101 

Likewise  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  played  its  part  in  recruiting 
the  pharmaceutical  profession.  It  was  a  factor,  probably,  in  attracting  such  a  man 
as  Elias  Durand,  a  Frenchman,  a  pharmacicn  of  the  Grand  Army  of  Napoleon. 
After  Bonaparte's  final  abdication  and  imprisonment  at  St.  Helena,  Durand  emi- 
grated to  America.  He  spent  some  years  in  Baltimore,  but  in  1825  he  came  to  Phila- 
delphia and  leased  the  house  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Sixth  and  Chestnut  Streets. 
Here  he  established  a  fine  drug  store.  With  French  glassware,  and  drugs  and 
chemicals — imported  from  France,  which  still  led  the  world  in  all  that  appertained 
to  pharmacy,  ami  novel  apparatus  for  making  and  vending  cooling  water  charged 
with  carbonic  acid  gas,  his  shop  became  a  favorite  resort  for  many  of  the  leading 
physicians  of  the  citv  and  the  surrounding  country.  They  found  the  proprietor  to 
be  a  man  of  unusual  information.  Mis  botanical  talents  gave  him  knowledge  of  the 
medicinal  value  of  plants.  He  corresponded  with  learned  men  of  other  countries 
and  frequently  contributed  his  observations  to  the  College,  of  which  he  was  a  valued 
member,  and  later  an  officer  (1831-1845). 


DRUG  STORE  OF  ELIAS  DURAND,  S.  W.  CORNER  SIXTH  AND  CHESTNUT  STREETS 


IO2       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Durand  devised  many  new  preparations  which  met  the  favor  of  physicians  and 
came  into  general  use.  He  exercised  great  care  in  the  instruction  of  his  appren- 
tices in  all  the  intricacies  of  the  art  of  pharmacy  and  developed  a  business  which  in- 
volved the  manufacture  as  well  as  the  sale  of  a  large  variety  of  popular  remedies. 
A  frequent  visitor  at  "Durand's  Drug  Store"  was  Dr.  Samuel  Jackson,  formerly  of 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  but  now  a  member  of  the  Faculty  of  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania.  A  number  of  preparations  which  he  was  in  the  habit 
of  prescribing  for  his  patients  came  to  bear  his  name,  among  Jackson's  Pectoral 
Syrup  which  Durand  made  and  which  had  a  wide  popularity.  ("Elias  Durand," 
Wm.  Procter,  Jr.,  Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1873,  508.) 

Another  notable  store  was  that  of  Daniel  B.  Smith  at  the  northeast  corner  of 
Sixth  and  Arch  Streets.  When  the  College  was  founded.  Smith  was  a  partner  of 
John  Biddle  with  whom  he  had  studied  pharmacy.  In  1828  at  Mr.  Biddle's  death, 
he  found  a  new  partner  in  William  Hodgson,  Jr.,  a  young  English  Quaker  who  had 
been  apprenticed  to  John  Bell  and  Co.,  the  leading  pharmacists  of  London.  Hodg;_ 
son  having  just  arrived  in  this  country,  his  knowledge  of  what  was  being  done  in 
the  best  circles  in  England,  together  with  Smith's  widely  acknowledged  learning, 
made  their  shop  a  rendezvous,  like  Durand's,  for  physicians.  The  Quakers  in  par- 
ticular who  resided  in  such  numbers  in  this  part  of  the  city  relied  upon  the  two  re- 
spected members  of  their  Society  who  kept  the  store  for  their  medical  supplies. 
Through  Hodgson,  as  well  as  Smith,  the  clerks  were  instructed  in  all  that  apper- 
tained  to  the  preparation  of  medicines.  All  were  encouraged  to  attend  the  lectures 
in  the  College,  and  from  Smith  and  Hodgson's  counters  came  such  men  as  Thomas 
H.  Powers,  Ambrose  Smith,  William  J.  Jenks,  Albert  S.  Letchworth,  Charles  Bul- 
lock, Edmund  A.  Crenshaw  and  many  others  who  became  an  honor  to  the  profes- 
sion. 

Early  Pharmaceutical  History 

William  J.  Jenks,  some  years  ago,  set  down  his  recollections  of  the  Smith  and 
Hodgson  store,  as  follows : 

"In  the  early  history  of  this  store  it  was  customary  to  make  all  the  preparations  used, 
official  and  others,  chemicals  as  well  as  Pharmaceuticals.  All  the  minor  chemicals  were  made 
in  the  laboratory  attached  to  the  store,  and  Thomas  H.  Powers,  Ambrose  Smith,  Albert 
Letchworth  and  others,  as.  they  advanced,  were  instructed  in  this  important  branch  of  the 
business. 

"Drugs  were  powdered  largely  by  hand  in  mortars  suited  for  the  purpose,  large  marble 
and  iron  ones  being  used.  Tinctures  were  made  in  the  old  way  by  maceration  and  expres- 
sion. Fluid  extracts  had  no  existence.  Moulded  suppositories  and  capsules  were  unknown 
and  all  pills  were  made  in  the  primitive  manner  by  rolling  out  and  drying  previous  to  sale. 
Sugar  and  gelatin  coating  did  not  come  into  use  until  about  1845,  and  tablets,  as  now  made, 
did  not  exist.  Mercurial  ointment  was  made  in  small  quantities  by  trituration.  Plasters  were 
made  and  .spread  oa  sheepskin  with  a  plaster-iron  as  ordered  by  the  physician ;  ready-spread 
plasters,  made  th'eir  appearance  about  1838. 

"About  '838  or  Iftfp  the  process  of  displacement  was  introduced  into  this  country.  Tt 
ri"t  v/iHi  much  opposition  by  the  druggists  oi  the  city  generally,  but  Ambrose  Smith,  who 
was  a  progressive  man,  took  up  the  subject  for  investigation  and  mastered  it,  so  that  most 
of  the  tinctures  in  use  were  made  by  this  process.  In  a  few  years  after  this  the  name  of  the 
process  was  changed  to  percolation. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       103 

"Smith  and  Hodgson  were  among  the  first  to  manufacture  mineral  water  (as  it  was  then 
called),  and  their  store  was  rendered  very  popular  on  this  account.  They  had  a  number  of 
copper  tanks  lined  with  tin  to  hold  the  water,  and  an  apparatus  for  generating  the  carbonic 
acid  gas  from  marble  dust  and  sulphuric  acid ;  this  being  necessary,  as  there  were  no  estab- 
lishments for  making  mineral  water.  Syrups  were  made  from  the  fruit  by  expression  in  a 
handpress. 

"Smith  and  Hodgson  combined  a  wholesale  department  with  their  retail  business,  and 
the  "back  store"  was  used  for  putting  up  orders  for  many  city  druggists  and  quite  a  large 
country  trade.  They  imported  many  English  drugs,  chemicals  and  pharmaceutical  prepara- 
tions in  use  at  that  time  by  Philadelphia  physicians,  and  philosophical  and  chemical  apparatus 
for  scientific  institutions. 

"Some  time  after  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  instituted,  a  committee  was 
appointed  for  the  purpose  of  introducing  modified  formulas  for  the  various  patent  medi- 
cines, so  called,  which  had  come  from  England,  and  Daniel  B.  Smith  was  active  in  the  mat- 
ter. The  committee  adopted  formulas  for  British  Oil,  Dalby's  Carminative,  Bateman's  Drops, 
Godfrey's  Cordial,  Turlington's  Balsam,  Anderson's  Scots  Pills  and  others.  The  wrappers 
for  them  were  changed  in  many  particulars,  and  were  printed  at  first  under  the  auspices  of 
the  committee  and  sold  to  druggists  for  the  use  in  putting  up  these  medicines.  Bottles  similar 
to  those  in  which  the  English  preparations  were  sold  were  made  by  Dr.  T.  W.  Dyott  at  the 
Dyottville  Glass  Works  in  Kensington.  Smith  and  Hodgson  bottled  large  quantities  of  these 
preparations  for  country  trade  as  but  few  of  the  proprietary  remedies  which  we  have  now 
were  then  known. 

"Great  care  was  taken  to  have  the  prescription  work  attended  to  with  correctness  and 
promptitude.  No  conversation  was  allowed  between  clerks  and  customers  while  preparing 
prescriptions,  and  a  printed  sign  was  placed  on  one  of  the  panels  back  of  the  counter  with 
this  inscription :  'Please  do  not  converse  unnecessarily  with  those  engaged  in  compounding 
prescriptions."  This  regulation  was  enforced  in  England  and  brought  over  by  Mr.  Hodgson. 
It  was  highly  approved  by  the  many  physicians  who  daily  visited  the  store. 

"Young  men  in  this  store  were  instructed  in  the  manufacture  of  the  minor  chemicals 
used,  such  as  citrate  of  potassa,  the  iodides  of  lead  and  mercury,  iodide  of  iron,  bromide  of 
potassa,  etc.,  etc.  The  pure  acids  were  also  made. 

"The  College  did  not  have  a  professor  in  that  branch  and  in  consequence  all  pharma- 
ceutical instruction  had  to  be  given  in  the  various  stores  of  the  city." 

The  successors  of  the  Marshall  store,  Ellis  and  Morris,  who  purchased  this 
honored  century-old  stand  from  the  daughter  Elizabeth  Marshall  in  1825,  also 
played  a  prominent  part  in  the  development  of  the  apothecary  store  in  Philadel- 
phia. A  laboratory,  an  ice  house  and  a  warehouse  signalized  their  entry  into  the 
manufacturing  and  wholesale  drug  business,  in  connection  with  their  prescription 
and  other  retail  trade.  Charles  Ellis  and  Isaac  P.  Morris  were  partners  for  about 
five  years  at  56,  now  214,  Chestnut  Street.  At  the  end  of  this  time  the  firm  became 
Charles  Ellis  and  Company.  Like  Smith  and  Hodgson's  and  Durand's,  the  store 
continued  to  be  one  of  the  best  practical  schools  for  the  education  of  apprentices. 
All  of  its  young  men  were  sent  to  hear  the  lectures  in  the  College  at  the  firm's  ex- 
pense, so  that  they  might  reap  the  benefits  of  the  instruction  of  Wood,  Bache  and 
the  teachers  who  succeeded  these  two  eminent  men. 

The  laboratory,  a  detached  building  in  Yidall  Court,  east  of  the  store,  earlier 
a  school  room  and  public  hall,  was  equipped  with  jacketed  copper  pans,  stills,  a 
press  and  open  furnaces.  There  was  a  steam  boiler  in  the  cellar  and  drying  rooms 
on  the  second  floor.  One  of  the  specialties  of  the  firm  was  spread  adhesive  plasters. 
These  were  made  in  quantities  in  the  open  air,  the  cloth  being  drawn  out  by  hand

down  Vidall  Court  to  Second  Street,  all  hands  supporting  it  with  canes  and  broom 
handles  until  the  whole  "spread"  was  no  more  than  60  or  75  yards,  and  it  was  then 
cut  into  lengths  of  five  yards  and  taken  into  the  store.  Isaac  P.  Morris,  who  had 
iron  works  at  Richmond,  now  a  part  of  Cramp's  immense  yards  and  shops,  con- 
structed a  machine  to  facilitate  the  operation.  After  this,  the  spread  plaster  was 
reeled  on  drums  and  1,500  or  2,000  yards  could  be  made  at  one  time.  The  firm 
gained  a  reputation  for  its  solid  extracts,  then  in  general  use,  and  like  Smith  and 
Hodgson,  carried  on  a  large  trade  in  the  old  English  patent  medicines,  which  were 
mixed  according  to  the  College  committee's  formulas,  bottled  and  sent  to  all  parts 
of  the  country.  Filling  vials  with  laudanum,  castor  oil,  paregoric  and  other  reme- 
dies wanted  by  every  grocery  and  dry  goods  store,  which  required  little  skill,  occu- 
pied the  attention  of  the  younger  apprentices. 

Carl  Zeitler,  who  for  a  short  period  (1823-1824)  was  a  partner  of  George  D. 
Rosengarten  under  the  firm  name  of  Zeitler  and  Rosengarten,  was  employed  for 
many  years  in  the  Ellis  laboratory  and  increased  the  reputation  of  their  products. 
He  remained  with  this  firm  until  1850. 

The  laboratory  was  then  removed  to  Sixth  and  Morris  Streets  where  steam 
power  was  introduced  to  stir  extracts  and  to  grind  drugs.  The  old  Marshall  store 
property  on  Chestnut  Street  was  sold  and  the  business  removed  to  724  Market 
Street.  ("The  Story  of  a  Very  Old  Philadelphia  Drug  Store,"  Evan  Tyson  Ellis, 
Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1903,  57). 

Robert  Shoemaker  in  1880  gave  to  the  members  of  the  College  some  of  his 
reminiscences  of  service  in  a  well-known  shop  "up  town" — S.  W.  Corner  Second 
and  Green  Streets — fifty  years  before.  ("The  Apothecary's  Apprentice,"  Robert 
Shoemaker,  Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1880,  65).

As  an  apprentice  he  entered  the  store  at  six  o'clock  in  the  morning,  the  hour  of 
opening  it,  winter  and  summer,  the  year  round.  It  was  lighted  by  sperm  oil  lamps 
hung  from  the  ceiling.  There  were  no  large  panes  of  glass  for  the  windows  of  that 
day.  The  "show"  was  made  by  putting  a  bottle  behind  each  small  pane ;  24  bottles 
were  placed  therefore  at  each  window  to  advertise  the  wares  which  were  dispensed 
inside.  The  labor  of  the  apprentices  consisted  largely  of  powdering  drugs.  "But,"

said  Mr.  Shoemaker,  "there  was  one  drug  we  did  not  powder,  not  because  it  was 
difficult  of  reduction,  but  because  my  good  preceptor  saw  fit  to  patronize  (with  this 
one  article)  a  worthy  old  character  named  John  Price,  who,  in  a  frame  shanty  on 
Callowhill  Street,  had  what  he  called  a  drug  mill.  In  this  building  he  had  erected 
some  crude  machinery  which  was  set  in  motion  by  a  mule.  The  sole  attendant, 
the  proprietor,  received  such  easily  powdered  drugs  as  were  confided  to  him  through 
an  8  by  10  aperture  from  an  outside  vestibule.  None  were  allowed  a  nearer  ap- 
proach than  this  to  the  wonderfully  constructed  powdering  apparatus  within.  Of 
rhubarb  we  would  have  returned,  in  due  time,  about  two  thirds  in  powder — the  re- 
maining one  third  in  a  separate  package  labeled  'crumbs.'  In  a  well-remembered

old  iron  mortar,  firmly  seated  on  a  stone  post  descending  through  the  cellar  to  the 
earth,  other  things  were  powdered — ipecac,  gamboge,  sanguinaria  and  cantharides 
(this  last  moistened  with  alcohol),  arise  in  my  mind  (and  nostrils,  too),  as  among 
the  particularly  obnoxious  articles  I  was  obliged  to  reduce  to  a  fine  powder.  Those 
old  boxed  silk  sieves  were  provokingly  fine !" 


ROBERT  SHOEMAKER 

Robert  Shoemaker  (1817-1897).  Born  in  Shoemakertown,  Pa.,  of  Richard  M.  and  Sarah 
Shoemaker.  Early  education  in  Friends'  Schools.  Apprenticed  (1831)  to  William  Scatter- 
good  at  southwest  corner  of  Second  and  Green  Streets,  purchasing  store  in  1837,  and  remain- 
ing in  the  retail  business  for  twenty  years.  Sold  store  in  1856,  and  established  (with  his 
brother)  the  wholesale  drug  business  of  Robert  Shoemaker  and  Co.,  at  northeast  corner  of 
Fourth  and  Race  Streets.  He  manufactured  many  drug  products  and  is  believed  to  have 
been  the  first  to  manufacture  glycerin  in  the  United  States  (1848).  Became  member  of  the 
College  in  1843,  trustee  in  1845,  second  vice  president  in  1869,  and  first  vice  president  in  1885. 
Became  honorary  member  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  College  (1891)  and  was  made 
honorary  master  in  pharmacy  by  his  alma  mater  (1894).  Was  one  of  the  founders  of  the 
Philadelphia  Drug  Exchange  (1861),  and  its  president  (1867-1870)  ;  and  later  an  honorary 
member.  He  was  active,  also,  in  many  business  enterprises  and  in  public  school  education. 

"Once  in  a  fortnight  all  the  bottles  in  the  shop,  together  with  the  windows, 
were  to  be  washed.  But,  lest  Satan  might  have  a  chance  to  'find  some  mischief  for 
idle  hands  to  do,'  Mr.  Shoemaker,  continued,  "a  large  marble  mortar  of  two  or 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       107 

three  gallons  capacity,  firmly  fixed  in  the  open  top  of  a  keg  with  a  pestle  of  wood, 
having  a  long  handle,  passing  through  a  support  at  the  top,  was  stationed  in  one 
corner  of  the  store,  and  in  said  mortar  were  always  to  be  found  the  ingredients  for 
either  mercurial  ointment  or  blue  mass,  and  that  old  seat  by  the  side  of  that  mortar 
was  never  empty,  except  when  more  important  duties  claimed  our  attention.  What 
does  the  modern  student  of  pharmacy  know  about  the  luxury  of  killing  mercury ! 
Rub !  Rub !  Rub !  day  after  day,  and  yet  the  labor  continued.  Thankful  may  the 
modern  apprentice  be  that  this  work  is  now  done  by  machinery." 

"In  the  summer  of  1832  we  had,"  Mr.  Shoemaker  continued,  "the  first  and 
most  awful  visitation  of  Asiatic  cholera  Philadelphia  has  ever  experienced.  Then 
it  was  that  apothecaries  had  as  much  as  they  could  well  do,  night  and  day.  Many 
will  remember  the  camphor  bags  and  Burgundy  pitch  plasters,  the  first  worn  on 
the  bosom,  suspended  by  a  string  around  the  neck,  and  the  latter,  spread  by  hand 
on  lamb  skin,  placed  over  the  abdomen." 

From  his  experience,  Mr.  Shoemaker  successfully  developed  a  process  for 
making  plasters  other  than  by  hand  and  became  a  large  manufacturer  of  this  article. 


DRUG  STORE  OF  FREDERICK  KLETT,  SECOND  AND  CALLOWHILL  STREETS 

Frederick  Klett  (1795-1859).  Original  member  of  the  College  and  member  until  his  de- 
cease. Commenced  business  in  1818  at  Second  and  Callowhill  Streets  and  continued  in  the 
same  location  until  his  retirement  in  1855.  Was  American  Consul  for  the  Kingdom  of 
Wurtemburg,  Germany  (1845-1859).  An  active  and  enterprising  man,  much  respected  during 
his  long  business  career. 


Another  old  drug  store  was  that  of  George  Glentworth,  opened  in  1812,  at  the 
northeast  corner  of  Sassafras  (now  Race)  and  Chester  Streets  (between  Eighth 
and  Ninth  Streets).  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  College,  and  his  certificate 
of  membership  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Apothecaries  is  in  the  possession  of 
the  College,  being  probably  the  only  one  of  its  kind  extant.  The  Glentworth  family 


io8       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

conducted  this  store  for  over  ninety-two  years  without  making  any  material  alter- 
ations or  change  in  its  appearance ;  the  fixtures  and  furnishings  were  then  given  to 
the  College.

If  the  apothecary's  trade  had  come  to  be  confined  to  drugs  in  central  situations 
in  large  cities,  this  was  not  so  in  outlying  districts  and  the  smaller  towns.  In  Lan-

In  Philadelphia,  in  1826,  an  announcement  in  Paulson's  Advertiser  furnishes 
testimony  of  the  same  kind  : 

"For  sale  the  Drug  and  Apothecary  store  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Fourth  and  Race 
Streets  with  mineral  water  fixtures  in  excellent  order.  At  a  moderate  expense  it  affords  an 
opportunity  to  any  one  wishing  to  embark  in  this  line  of  business,  the  advertiser  going  into 
another  pursuit.  The  store  has  secured  the  confidence  of  several  physicians  of  standing  in  the 
city  and  country.  The  various  articles  of  the  stock  have  been  uniformly  selected  with  the 
greatest  care  and  attention.  A  small  additional  capital  might  be  advantageously  employed 
in  the  paint,  oil  and  glass  business  in  connection  with  the  above  it  being  an  excellent  situ- 
ation for  it."  (Issue  of  August  5,  1826.) 


DRUG  STORE  OF  FREDERICK  BROWN,  N.  E.  CORNER  FIFTH  AND  CHESTNUT  STREETS 


Frederick  Brown  (1796-1864).  Apprenticed  to  Charles  Marshall.  Commenced  business 
at  Fifth  and  Chestnut  Streets  (1822).  As  a  pharmacist,  he  enjoyed  a  high  reputation;  as  a 
business  man  he  was  eminently  successful.  He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  College,  and 
a  member  of  the  committee  which  drafted  its  constitution ;  also,  a  member  of  the  first  board  of 
trustees.  He  was  active  in  banking  and  the  work  of  benevolent  institutions,  but  his  tenden- 
cies never  assumed  a  scientific  direction.  His  eldest  son,  Frederick  Brown,  Jr.,  was  a  gradu- 
ate of  the  College  (class  of  1861)  and  succeeded  to  the  business,  and  later,  devoted  his  at- 
tention exclusively  to  the  manufacture  of  Brown's  Jamaica  Ginger.

To  what  a  point  manufacturing  had  advanced,  may  be  gleaned  from  the  adver- 
tisements of  some  of  the  firms  which  already  had  plants  for  making  drugs  and 
chemicals.  It  is  known  that  sulphate  of  quinine  was  produced  commercially  in 
Philadelphia  in  1823,  only  three  years  after  its  discovery  by  Pelletier  and  Caventou. 
Both  Farr  and  Kunzi,  and  Zeitler  and  Rosengarten  were  making  quinine  sulphate 
in  that  year  and  selling  it,  and  it  was  being  used  extensively  in  the  treatment  of  the 
fevers  then  very  prevalent  in  the  city.  (J.  W.  England,  Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  Sept., 
1921.) 

The  Wetherills  had  perfected  processes  for  the  manufacture  of  a  variety  of 
paints  and  drugs  as  their  advertisements  disclose.  For  example  this  one :

In  this  connection,  the  following  illustration,  taken  from  a  work  on  "Materia 
Medica,"  published  by  George  W.  Carpenter,  in  1834,  which  had  a  wide  circulation 
among  physicians,  will  be  of  especial  interest.  Mr.  Carpenter,  it  may  be  added, 
was  born  in  1802  and  learned  the  "drug  and  apothecary  business''  in  the  Marshall 
drug  store.  He  early  developed  a  taste  for  natural  history,  especially  mineralogy, 


and  became  an  associate  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences.  In  1828  he  went 
into  business  for  himself,  and  with  unusual  success.  He  was  an  early  and  strong 
supporter  of  railroads  and  helped  to  organize  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  of  which 
he  was  a  director  for  many  years.  W.  E.  Henszey  became  his  partner  in  1842,  the 
firm  becoming  Carpenter  and  Henszey.  He  died  in  1860.

Percolation 

One  of  the  outstanding  pharmaceutical  events  of  this  period  was  the  develop- 
ment of  the  process  of  percolation,  or  displacement,  for  extracting  the  soluble  prin- 
ciples of  vegetable  drugs.  The  first  attempts  to  percolate  powdered  drugs  were 
'  fnade  by Tx5uTlt~Reai-  (1815),  and  by  M.  Robiquet,  but  these  were  crude  and  un- 
satisfactory. "It  was  reserved,  however,  for  the  Boullays  of  Paris,  in  1833, 
to  apply  the  ideas  of  Real  and  Robiquet  to  drugs  and  medicinal  substances  in  general, 
and  to  them  belongs  the  credit  of  first  demonstrating  the  value  of  the  process  of  per- 
colation in  its  pharmaceutical  applications.  The  researches  of  the  Boullays  at  once 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       115 


attracted  the  attention  of  American  pharmacists  and  the  labors  of  Duhamel,  Procter, 
Grahame,  Squibb  and  others  during  the  last  century  and  the  adoption  of  the  process 
in  the  Pharmacopoeias  of  1840,  1850,  1860,  1870,  1890  and  in  the  8th  and  9th  Re- 
visions, show  the  character  of  the  growth  in  favor  of  percolation.  In  Great  Britain, 
France  and  Germany  the  process  is  well  known,  and  is  practiced  to  some  extent,  but 
maceration  still  holds  in  these  countries  the  chief  place  as  a  means  of  extracting  the 
soluble  principles  of  drugs."  (Joseph  P.  Remington.)  The  greatest  development 
of  percolation  has  taken  place,  therefore,  in  this  country. 


ISRAEL  J.  GRAHAME 

\^ 

Israel  J.  Grahame  (1819-1899).  Born  in  Baltimore,  son  of  George  Grahame,  an  active 
member  of  the  Hicksite  branch  of  the  Society  of  Friends.  Received  early  education  in  pub- 
lic schools.  Served  apprenticeship  with  one  of  the  leading  pharmacists  of  Baltimore.  Became 
professor  of  pharmacy  in  the  Maryland  College  of  Pharmacy  (1856).  Subsequently  engaged 
in  the  drug  business  and  later  came  to  Philadelphia  and  opened  a  drug  store  at  Twelfth 
and  Filbert  Streets.  After  conducting  the  business  for  a  number  of  years  he  retired.  He 
made  a  number  of  original  investigations  of  pharmaceutical  preparations  and  his  studies  on 
percolation  as  embodied  in  his  paper  on  "The  Process  of  Percolation  or  Displacement,"  read 
before  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  published  in  its  Proceedings  for  1858, 
was  especially  noteworthy ;  in  this  he  formulated  with  remarkable  precision  the  general  prin- 
ciples of  the  process,  specifying  many  details  that  are  now  universally  followed.  He  was  one 
of  the  earliest  members  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  became  a  member 
of  the  College  in  1856,  continuing  as  such  until  his  demise.

CHAPTER  IV 
ETHICAL  STANDARDS  AND  NATIONAL  ASSOCIATIONS 

The  resignation  of  Dr.  George  B.  Wood  in  1835,  that  he  might  join  the  Faculty 
of  Medicine  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  brought  to  the  chair  of  materia 
medica  and  pharmacy  in  the  College,  as  has  been  noted,  Dr.  R.  Eglesfeld  Griffith, 
the  efficient  editor  of  the  Journal,  though  he  remained  in  the  place  but  a  single  year, 
being  succeeded  in  1836  by  Dr.  Joseph  Carson,  who  held  the  position  for  fourteen 
years,  or  until  1850.  When  Bache  passed  to  the  Jefferson  Medical  College  in  1841, 
the  chair  of  chemistry,  which  he  had  been  occupying,  was  filled  by  William  R. 
Fisher,  who,  like  Griffith,  occupied  his  post  for  only  one  year,  when  in  1842  he  was 
succeeded  by  Dr.  Robert  Bridges. 

Griffith 

Dr.  R.  Eglesfeld  Griffith  was  a  namesake  of  Robert  Eglesfeld,  founder  of 
Queen's  College,  Oxford.  His  father  owned  a  beautiful  estate  called  "Eglesfeld" 
on  the  banks  of  the  Schuylkill,  now  included  within  the  limits  of  Fairmount  Park. 


ROBERT  EGLESFELD  GRIFFITH 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       117 

Interested  in  various  branches  of  science,  an  officer  for  many  years  of  the  Academy 
of  Natural  Sciences,  he  was  a  pioneer  in  American  pharmacognosy.  He  was  an 
indefatigable  student  with  a  mind  that  was  a  veritable  storehouse  of  knowledge. 
But  after  delivering  a  single  course  of  lectures  he  felt  impelled,  against  the  wishes 
and  advice  of  many  of  his  friends,  to  accept  a  call  to  the  University  of  Maryland. 
From  that  institution  he  passed  to  the  University  of  Virginia,  where  ill  health 
compelled  him  to  suspend  his  duties,  and  he  went  for  a  time  to  the  West  Indies  to 
regain  it,  returning  at  length  to  Philadelphia,  though  not  to  resume  active  connec- 
tion with  the  College. 

Carson 

His  successor  in  the  chair,  Dr.  Joseph  Carson,  followed  Griffith  in  the  editor- 
ship of  the  Journal.  In  the  next  years  this  eminent  teacher  and  scientific  writer 
put  his  indelible  impress  upon  the  work  of  the  school.  He  was  of  Scotch  Irish 


JOSEPH  CARSON 

stock  and  was  born  in  Philadelphia  in  1808.  He  took  his  A.B.  from  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania  in  1826,  then  entering  the  drug  store  of  Edward  Lowber.  Here 
he  gained  an  interest  in  the  study  of  the  subjects  upon  which  rested  his  principal 
distinction  as  a  scientist  in  later  life.  Selecting  the  profession  of  medicine,  he 
found  a  preceptor  in  the  eminent  Philadelphia  physician,  Dr.  Thomas  T.  Hewson, 


n8       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

who  had  a  well  known  private  medical  school,  and  who  had  had  a  part  in  the  pro- 
ceedings attending  the  preparation  of  the  Pharmacopoeia  of  1820,*  and  had  worked 
side  by  side  with  Wood  and  Bache  upon  the  revision  of  1830.  It  was  in  that  year 
that  Carson  graduated  as  a  doctor  of  medicine  at  the  University.  After  a  year 
abroad  as  a  ship's  surgeon  he  began  practice  in  Philadelphia,  and  now,  in  1836,  at 
twenty  eight  years  of  age,  accepted  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy 
in  the  College,  a  position  to  which  four  men,  Samuel  Jackson,  Benjamin  Ellis, 
George  B.  Wood  and  Robert  Eglesfeld  Griffith,  had  already  lent  distinction  and 
honor. 

Fisher 

William  R.  Fisher,  who  followed  Bache  in  1841  with  courses  on  chemistry,  was 
the  first  graduate  of  the  school  of  pharmacy  to  reach  one  of  its  professorships.  He 
had  gone  to  Baltimore,  where  he  held  a  chair  in  the  University  of  Maryland.  His

enlivening  communications  to  the  College  and  his  scholarly  papers  in  the  Journal 
gave  him  a  place  in  the  respect  and  the  affections  of  his  friends  in  Philadelphia. 


*  Under  date  of  June  26,  1821,  it  is  recorded  in  the  archives  of  the  College  that  "The  Com- 
mittee appointed  to  examine  the  Pharmacopoeia  of  the  United  States  published  by  the  author- 
ity of  the  medical  societies  and  colleges,  reported  recommending  a  continuance  of  the  Com- 
mittee to  institute  a  further  examination  of  the  work  with  a  view  to  correct  the  errors  it  con- 
tained." 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       119 

He  was  a  glowing,  impassioned  lecturer.  His  ideals  for  the  scientist  and  for  man- 
kind made  him  a  teacher  who  exerted  a  noble  influence  upon  all  who  came  into  his 
class  rooms.  ("Historical  Memoirs  of  Phila.  Coll.  of  Phar.,"  Edward  Parrish.) 
His  resignation,  to  take  up  a  religious  calling,  to  which  he  felt  himself  strongly 
drawn,  was  soon  followed  by  death. 

Bridges 

Dr.  Robert  Bridges,  a  modest  and  unpretending  man,  succeeded  Fisher  in  1842. 
and  faithfully  kept  at  his  post  for  thirty-seven  years,  or  until  1879.  He  came  of 
an  English  family  which  had  settled  in  Philadelphia  about  1740.  His  father  was 
an  inconspicuous  business  man  of  the  city ;  his  mother  was  a  daughter  of  William 


ROBERT  BRIDGES 

Cliffton,  of  Southwark,  a  Quaker  blacksmith  who  attained  some  distinction  in  the 
literary  annals  of  Philadelphia  as  a  composer  of  verse.  First  a  student  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania,  he  passed  to  Dickinson  College  from  which  he  was  gradu- 
ated in  1824.  Returning  to  Philadelphia,  he  became  a  pupil  of  Dr.  Thomas  T. 
Hewson  with  whom  he  remained  for  nearly  four  years,  graduating  from  the 
Medical  Department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1828.  In  this  man- 
ner he  met  Dr.  Franklin  Bache  who  was  a  lecturer  on  chemistry  in  Hewson's  school 
and  who  made  Bridges  his  assistant.  In  this  capacity  he  continued  to  serve  Bache 
in  the  Franklin  Institute,  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  at  the  Jeffer- 


I2O       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

son  Medical  College.  He  had  been  a  candidate  to  succeed  Bache  at  the  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy  and  was  defeated  by  a  majority  of  two  votes  by  Fisher, 
but  in  1842,  upon  Fisher's  resignation,  he  was  elected  to  the  place,  serving  Bache  at 
the  same  time  as  a  private  assistant  at  the  Jefferson  Medical  College.  Concurrently 
for  fifteen  years,  he  also  assisted  Professor  George  B.  Wood  at  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  May,  1884.) 

U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  of  1840 

Philadelphia  had  now  come  to  be  "the  metropolis  of  pharmaceutical  as  well  as 
medical  science  in  America."  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  July,  1846,  154.)  As  the  time 
drew  near  for  the  Convention  to  meet  in  Washington  for  another  revision  of  the 
Pharmacopoeia,  our  scientists  were  ready  to  take  the  large  part  in  the  work  which 
had  earned  them  the  country's  gratitude  in  1830.  Again  the  College  of  Physicians 
of  Philadelphia,  led  through  a  committee  of  its  members — those  three  devoted 
friends  of  the  undertaking  in  1830 — Thomas  T.  Hewson,  George  B.  Wood  and 
Franklin  Bache.  They  began  their  labors  as  early  as  May,  1839,  and  in  recogni- 
tion of  the  need  of  the  practical  advice  of  pharmacists  they  procured  the  assistance 
of  two  of  the  most  accomplished  in  the  city,  and  very  probably  in  the  country, 
William  Hodgson,  Jr.,  and  William  Procter,  Jr.— one  of  them,  Hodgson,  as  we  have 
seen,  trained  with  John  Bell  at  the  leading  chemist's  shop  in  London  (Amer.  Jour. 
Phar.,  Sept.,  1859,  488),  and  now  for  some  years  the  partner  of  Daniel  B.  Smith — 
the  other,  Procter,  a  graduate  of  the  College  and  a  retail  druggist  who,  by  his 
reading  and  research,  was  rapidly  advancing  himself  to  a  leading  position  in  the 
pharmaceutical  world.  Three  times  a  week  for  months,  the  Philadelphia  committee 
met  and  conferred  concerning  their  work  so  that  they  would  have  their  draft  ready 
for  the  Convention  which  was  to  meet  in  Washington  the  first  Monday  in  January, 
1840.  The  College  of  Physicians  would  be  represented  by  Wood,  Bache  and  Henry 
Bond.  Wood  having  subsequently  been  requested  to  serve  as  a  delegate  from  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  Dr.  Joseph  Carson,  at  the  time  Bache's  associate  in  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  was  named  to  act  in  Wood's  stead  for  the  Col- 
lege of  Physicians. 

When  January  came  and  the  Convention  of  1840  met,  there  were  only  twenty 
persons  in  attendance.  One  half  of  these  were  from  Baltimore  or  Washington. 
Philadelphia's  complement  was  five  (Jefferson  Medical  College  sent  Dr.  Robley 
Dunglison),  so  that  the  rest  of  the  country  was  but  meagerly  represented.  New 
York  had  no  delegates  in  the  Convention,  and  New  England  only  one,  from  Rhode 
Island.  It  was  fairly  concluded  that  in  the  state  of  national  communications  Janu- 
ary was  an  unsuitable  season  of  the  year  for  travel,  and  hereafter  the  convention 
would  be  held  in  May.  It  was  resolved,  also,  that,  in  the  future,  incorporated  col- 
leges of  pharmacy  should  be  entitled  to  representation  on  the  same  basis  as  medical 
societies  and  colleges.  The  only  draft  of  changes  submitted  was  that  one  which 
was  the  result  of  the  labors  of  the  Philadelphia  committee,  largely,  as  we  know,  the 
personal  contribution  of  Wood  and  Bache.  The  material  was  referred  to  a  commit- 
tee of  revision  and  publication  which  was  composed  of  Wood,  chairman,  Bache  and 
Dunglison,  of  Philadelphia,  and  four  men  from  other  parts  of  the  country.  Three 
of  the  number  would  constitute  a  quorum  for  the  transaction  of  business. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       121 

The  committee  was  in  no  mind  to  wait  until  1850  for  the  co-operation  of  the 
pharmacists,  and  at  once,  in  February,  soon  after  the  delegates  had  returned  from 
Washington,  Dr.  Wood  addressed  Daniel  B.  Smith,  as  the  president  of  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy,  asking  for  "any  suggestions  in  relation  to  amend- 
ments, additions  or  omissions."  He  ventured  to  hope  that  "the  interest  which  the 
pharmaceutical  as  well  as  the  medical  profession  cannot  but  feel  in  this  object  will 
induce  the  College  to  lend  the  valuable  aid  of  their  practical  experience  and  skill"  in 
the  revision  of  the  book.  In  similar  terms  he  addressed  the  colleges  of  pharmacy  in 
Boston  and  New  York. 

A  committee  of  five  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  composed  of 
William  R.  Fisher,  Henry  Troth,  Elias  Durand,  William  W.  Moore,  and  Charles 
Ellis,  was  appointed  to  take  the  subject  under  consideration.  They  soon  reported 
favorably.  Allusion  to  the  fact  that  the  pharmacists  had  been  overlooked  when 
the  invitations  to  participate  in  the  convention  had  been  sent  out,  led  to  a  statement 
that  "no  sentiment  of  injured  pride"  should  keep  them  now  from  the  performance 
of  their  duty  as  "good  citizens"  in  a  work  "so  important  to  the  health  and  well-_ 
being  of  our  neighbors  and  of  society."  The  committee  desired  a  complete  revision 
— "exhibiting  the  science  of  the  age  and  representing  the  progress  of  American 
pharmacy  and  medicine — twin  sisters,  whose  growth  and  improvement  from  child- 
hood to  maturity,  has  been  attended  with  the  vigor  of  youth  and  the  bloom  of  health, 
which,  heightened  by  the  influences  of  united  interests  and  pursuits,  must  fail  en- 
tirely, or  sensibly  decay,  in  both,  should  rudeness  sever,  or  neglect  destroy,  the  bond 
of  sympathy  by  which  they  are  bound  together." 

The  report  was  adopted  and  a  "Committee  of  Revision"  of  the  College  was  ap- 
pointed, consisting  of  William  R.  Fisher,  Charles  Ellis,  Elias  Durand,  William  W. 
Moore,  Thomas  H.  Powers  and  John  C.  Allen.  At  its  organization  in  April,  1840, 
William  Procter,  Jr.,  was  appointed  secretary.  The  sessions  continued  for  several 
months.  Formulas  from  members  of  the  College  were  received.  An  immense  fund 
of  valuable  information  derived  from  practical  sources  was  collected.  The  com- 
mittee's report  comprised  two  quarto  manuscript  volumes.  So  important  and  com- 
prehensive were  the  changes  recommended  by  the  industrious  Philadelphians  who 
"presented  a  complete  revised  copy  of  the  Pharmacopoeia,  elaborated  with  great 
ability  and  industry"  (U.  S.  P.  IX,  X),  that,  after  it  was  received,  the  final  draft 
of  the  work  was  in  large  degree  rewritten.  (M.  I.  Wilbert  in  Amcr.  Jour.  Phar., 
June,  1902,  266,  and  G.  M.  Beringer,  ibid. ;  Aug.,  1909,  390,  cf.  ibid.,  April,  1840, 
75-87.)  The  book  was  published  early  in  1842.  In  this  revision,  the  Latin  version 
was  omitted.  The  process  of  displacement  on  percolation  was  introduced  for  the 
first  time. 

It  is  commonly  said  that  prior  to  1850  pharmacists  did  not  have  that  part 
in  the  revisions  to  which  their  great  interests  in  the  subject  entitled  them.  It  was 
a  "National  Medical  Convention"  and  nominally  all  the  delegates  were  representa- 
tives of  medical  schools  and  associations.  But  when  it  is  understood  that  the  Phar- 
macopoeia of  1830,  the  first  to  gain  a  position  as  a  standard,  was  almost  wholly  the 
work  of  Wood  and  Bache,  professors,  the  entire  Faculty,  indeed,  of  the  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy ;  that  the  revision  of  1840  was  also  in  large  measure  the 
work  of  these  two  men,  that  at  this  time  Joseph  Carson,  the  professor  of  materia 


122       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

medica  and  pharmacy  in  the  College  in  succession  to  Wood,  was  a  delegate  to  the 
Convention,  that  two  highly  qualified  Philadelphia  pharmacists  were  advisers  to  the 
committee  of  the  College  of  Physicians  of  Philadelphia,  that  the  draft  before  pub- 
lication was  extensively  revised  by  a  committee  representing  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy,  it  can  be  said  with  no  kind  of  truth  that  there  was  discrimina- 
tion, either  apparent  or  real,  against  the  pharmacist.  The  revisions  of  1830  and 
1840  were  prepared  in  Philadelphia  by  men  who  knew  pharmacy,  for  pharmacists, 
by  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  expressing  itself  through  its  teachers, 
the  most  eminent  men  whom  its  history  had  produced,  assisted  by  some  of  the  ablest 
of  the  practicing  pharmacists  of  the  city. 

U.  S.  Pharmacopoeias  of  1850  to  1880 

The  College  appreciating  its  increased  responsibilities  with  reference  to  the 
revision  of  1850,  very  early  gave  itself  to  its  tasks.  In  March,  1847,  a  committee, 
of  which  Daniel  B.  Smith,  William  Procter,  Jr.,  Robert  Bridges,  Joseph  Carson, 
Edward  Parrish,  Dillwyn  Parrish,  Charles  Ellis,  Charles  Bullock  and  Joseph  C. 
Turnpenny,  among  others,  were  members,  was  appointed  to  revise  the  Pharma- 
copoeia and  report  on  "such  changes  and  amendments  as  they  may  think  proper" 
for  submission  to  the  College.  It  performed  its  duties,  its  draft  was  completed  and 
put  in  the  hands  of  the  delegates  of  the  College  to  the  Washington  Convention  of 
May,  1850,  who  were  Daniel  B.  Smith,  Charles  Ellis  and  William  Procter,  Jr. 

Again  the  representation  at  the  Convention,  except  from  the  Middle  and  North- 
ern states,  was  small.  But  the  meeting  was  especially  noticeable  for  the  participa- 
tion of  the  pharmaceutical  delegates — the  three  from  Philadelphia  and  two  repre- 
sentatives of  the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  the  City  of  New  York.  Dr.  George  B. 
Wood  was  elected  president  of  the  Convention.  The  various  drafts  which  were 
presented  by  the  different  bodies  and  associations  were  referred  to  a  committee  of 
nine  members — ten,  including  President  Wood,  who  was  added  by  a  vote  of  the 
Convention — for  final  revision  and  publication.  William  Procter,  Jr.,  represented 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  The  other  members  of  the  committee  from 
this  city  were  Wood,  Bache  and  Carson.  The  meetings  again  were  held  in  Phila- 
delphia where  the  book  was  finally  revised  and  published  in  1851. 

A  New  York  pharmacist  sat  on  the  committee  with  Procter,  so  that  there  were 
two  to  speak  directly  and  authoritatively  for  pharmacy,  and  from  this  time  for- 
ward the  part  taken  by  the  pharmaceutical  profession  became  more  and  more  promi- 
nent at  every  decennial  revision,  until  in  1880  its  representatives  outnumbered  the 
medical  men  on  the  committee. 


Instruction  in  Theoretical  and  Practical  Pharmacy 

It  had  been  borne  in  upon  many  that  the  instruction  of  the  College  was  some- 
what too  scientific,  too  theoretical,  for  the  practical  uses  of  the  man  whose 
career  was  to  be  had  in  a  drug  store.  A  course  which  would  bring  chemistry  and 
the  materia  medica  into  closer  relationship  with  the  work  of  compounding  and 
dispensing  medicine  was  much  needed,  and  it  was  proposed,  therefore,  that  a  new 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       123 

chair  be  established.  The  College  considered  this  subject  in  March,  1846,  when  a 
committee  including  Daniel  B.  Smith,  William  Procter,  Jr.,  Augustine  J.  L.  Du- 
hamel,  Edward  Parrish,  Samuel  F.  Troth  and  Charles  Ellis  was  appointed  to  con- 
sider the  propriety  of  creating  a  professorship  of  theoretical  and  practical  phar- 
macy. The  occupant  would  give  especial  attention  to  the  actual  processes  o 
manipulation  in  the  shop,  transmitting  to  the  pupil,  in  so  far  as  he  might,  the  knowl- 
edge and  skill  which  were  gained  during  a  period  behind,  the  counter  and  in  the 
"back  room"  under  the  guidance  of  the  "master"  pharmacist. 

In  May,  1846,  a  special  meeting  of  the  College  was  called,  President  Daniel  B. 
Smith  in  the  chair,  to  hear  the  views  of  the  committee.    When  the.schqol  had  begn_ 
started,  so  ran  the  report,  there  were  few,  if  any,  apofHecaries  who  were  prepared 
"tVlTssuhie  the  office  of  teachers,"  and  recourse  was  had  to  the  better  trained  med- 
ical profession.     Conditions  by  this  time  had  changed.     Now  the  question  arose 
"whether~by  the  lectures  in  our  school  and  by  other  means,  tending  to  create  a 
gfeati-r  taste  for  scientific  attainment  among  those  who  practice  our  profession,  so 
much  advancement-had  been  made  as  to  warrant  the  appointment  of  a  practical 
apothecary   to   teach   in   a   scientific  manner   what   has.   hitherto,   in   .America   and 
England,  been  the  confused  and  unsystematized  art  of  pharmacy."    (There  were 
rfTen~coming  to  the  school,  men  graduated  from  it,  indeed,  without  knowledge 
qualifying  them  for  the  practice  of  pharmacy.     Apprentices  in  wholesale  stores 
were  without  preceptors,  many  "brought  up  in  retail  establishments"  were  without 
proper  instruction  in  the  art,  since  apothecaries,  "as  at  present  existing,"  were  in 
too  many  cases  "mere  pretenders"  and  unfitted  to  communicate  useful  information. 
Students  coming  from  such  sources,  therefore,  would  manifest  "gross  ignorance  in 
regard  to  pharmacy,  though  they  might  have  acquired  a  considerable  knowledge  of 
materia  medica  and  general  chemistry  by  attendance  upon  the  lectures  on  these  sub- 
jects.    The  committee  reached  and  stated  the  conclusion  that  "if  a  course  of  lec- 
tures on  pharmacy  were  added  to  those  already  delivered,  in  which  the  most  recent 
and  approved  methods  of  manipulation  were  taught  and  the  best  kinds  of  apparatus 
exhibited,  and,  if  these  were  followed  by  a  thorough  and  detailed  application  of 
them  in  the  preparation  of  medicines,  in  many  instances  repeating  the  operations 
before  the  class,  and  in  all  cases  exhibiting  the  preparation  in  its  most  perfect  con- 
dition, that  the  student  would  be  able  to  correct  the  knowledge  derived  at  home, 
and  the  pharmacy  of  the  city,  so  far  as  the  graduates  of  our  school  are  concerned, 
would  be  rendered  more  perfect  and  homogeneous  in  its  character  than  at  present." 
One  could  look  in  vain  "amongst  the  medical  literature  of  the  English  lan- 
guage for  a  single  work  devoted  exclusively  and  systematically  to  this  branch  of 
knowledge."    It  was  necessary  to  turn  to  the  French  and  German  writers  for  any- 
thing on  the  subject,  and  these  works  were  rarely  available  for  our  pharmacists  and 
not  adapted  to  our  national  circumstances.    A  professor  of  pharmacy,  if  one  should 
be  elected  would  enter  "a  field  of  labor  scarcely  less  extensive  than  that  of  either 
of  his  colleagues  in  the  school,"  and  one  which  he  would  have  "to  traverse  in  the 
double  capacity  of  teacher  and  learner." 

The  report  of  the  committee  was  adopted  by  a  unanimous  vote  and  in  Septem- 
ber, 1846,  the  Board  of  Trustees  elected  William  Procter,  Jr.,  to  the  new  professor- 
ship of  pharmacy.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1848,  147.)

Procter 

William  Procter,  Jr.,  like  so  many  of  the  founders  and  officers  of  the  College, 
was  a  Quaker.  He  was  born  in  Baltimore  in  1817,  and  now,  upon  coming  to  a 
chair  in  the  College  was  but  twenty-nine  years  old.  He  arrived  in  the  city  as  a 
boy  of  fourteen  and  was  apprenticed  to  Henry  M.  Zollickoffer,  an  apothecary  with 
a  store  at  Sixth  and  Pine  Streets,  who  was  numbered  among  the  sixty-eight  who 
had  instituted  the  College  in  1821.  While  working  in  Zollickoffer's  shop,  young 
Procter  attended  the  lectures  of  the  College  and  in  1837  received  his  diploma  as 
a  graduate  in  pharmacy.  He  continued  his  studies  diligently.  In  1840  he  was  elected 
to  membership  in  the  College  and  began  to  write  for  the  Journal.  In  1844  he 
opened  a  shop  of  his  own  at  Ninth  and  Lombard  Streets,  in  the  old  district  of 
Moyamensing,  a  most  unattractive  part  of  the  city,  where  he  owned  and  directed 
the  management  of  a  store  for  many  years.

not  begnTrantil  October,  1847,Tnd~on  this  occasion  Procter's  introductory  actdfess

a  moral  call  to  pharmacy  to  qualify  and  educate  itself  for  its  responsible  relation- 
ship with  the  community.  No  higher  ideals,  not  even  those  of  Daniel  P..  Smith, 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       125 

had  yet  come  into  the  profession  or  were  more  clearly  uttered  for  its  guidance. 
(Amcr.  Jour,  of  Phar.,  Nov.,  1847,  241.) 

The  misgivings  of  students  as  to  the  value  of  the  new  course  were  soon  ban- 
ished. That  they  could  profit  from  such  instruction  they  all  soon  knew  and  Proc- 
ter's success  was  assured.  He  had  assisted  Professor  Carson  in  editing  the  Journal 
for  two  or  three  years,  before  becoming  a  member  of  the  Faculty  of  the  College, 
and  after  1850,  when  Professor  Carson  proceeded  to  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, he  became  the  editor,  a  place  which  he  held  to  the  honor  and  advantage  of 
the  publication  for  a  period  of  twenty  years,  during  which  time  a  reference  to  the 
index  will  disclose  the  fact  that  he  contributed  to  the  Journal  550  items  over  his 
own  name  exclusive  of  abstracts  and  editorials.  By  his  learning  and  zeal,  he  made 
himself  one  of  the  most  powerful  of  influences  in  the  country  for  the  extension  of 
pharmaceutical  learning  and  the  development  of  the  pharmaceutical  art  into  a  pro- 
fession. ("Memoir  of  Wm.  Procter,  Jr.,"  Amcr.  Jour.  Phar.,  Nov.,  1874.) 

Nostrum  Traffic 

The  College  immediately  upon  its  institution  had  denounced  nostrums.  For- 
mulas had  been  presented  for  the  use  of  those  who  wished  to  manufacture  the  old 
English  "patent  medicines."  New  American  remedies  were  appearing  in  increas- 
ing numbers.  These  were  advertised  by  circular  and  pamphlet.  Their  names,  with 
accounts  of  their  marvelous  cures,  filled  the  newspapers.  Not  a  journal,  except 
one  weekly  literary  publication  in  Philadelphia,  had  enough  moral  force  to  exclude 
from  its  advertising  columns  the  announcements  of  the  charlatans  who  had  panaceas 
for  sale.  In  the  West,  beyond  the  Alleghenies,  quackery  was  "unblushingly  pre- 
suming" (Amcr.  Jour.  Phar.,  Oct.,  185.1,  39),  and  its  growth  in  the  East,  supported 
by  that  market,  filled  responsible  physicians  and  honest  pharmacists  with  profes- 
sional resentment  as  well  as  with  real  solicitude  for  the  health  and  lives  of  the 
people. 

Dr.  T.  O.  Edwards  presented  a  report  to  Congress  in  February,  1849,  recom- 
mending that  the  patent  laws  be  changed  to  prevent  their  covering  compound  medi- 
cines. "For  years,"  said  he,  "a  vast  system  of  medical  empiricism,  sustained  by 
popular  credulity  and  the  sanction  of  government,"  had  prevailed  in  the  United 
States,  "to  the  serious  detriment  of  the  public  health  and  morals."  The  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy,  supported  the  movement  and  consistently,  throughout  a  long 
period  of  years,  in  eloquent  phrase  and  condemned  the  evil  which,  it  was  noted 
with  sorrow,  extended  even  to  "educated,  scientific,  skilful  and  high-principled 
druggists,"  who,  by  offering  for  sale  the  concoctions  of  these  "cunning  nostrum 
mongers,"  made  themselves  a  party  to  the  mischief.  (Ibid.,  July,  1849,  287-8.) 

The  profession  of  pharmacy  was  "completely  prostrate"  before  the  patent 
medicine  faker,  said  Edward  Parrish.  The  apothecary  who  was  dependent  upon 
public  patronage  scarcely  could,  if  he  would,  "act  a  manly  and  independent  part." 
The  quack's  interest  in  pharmacy  consisted  in  reducing  every  drug  store  to  an 
agency  for  the  sale  of  patent  medicines  or  a  store  for  general  merchandising.  In 
this  man  was  seen  the  pharmaceutist's  "natural  enemy."  The  public  was  to  draw 
its  ideas  of  medicine  from  the  newspaper  which  he  had  bribed  into  propagating  his 


126       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

favorite  theories.  All  the  mysteries  of  pathology  and  therapeutics  vanished  before 
his  magic  compound.  No  need  of  a  materia  medica  beyond  the  ingredients  found 
in  his  bottle.  No  need  of  a  physician  to  direct,  or  an  apothecary  to  prepare,  a  medi- 
cine for  the  disease  which  he  could  dispel  with  his  patent  dose.  (Ibid.,  May,  1854, 
211-4.) 

The  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy  was  not  behind  Philadelphia  in  its  de- 
nunciation of  this  traffic.  The  manufacturer  and  distributor  of  these  secret  medi- 
cines, said  its  president,  George  D.  Coggeshall  (an  1828  graduate  of  the  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy),  to  the  young  men  of  one  of  the  graduating  classes  of 
that  school,  was  "at  once  the  reproach  of  medicine  and  the  bane  of  society."  It 
was  a  public  duty  of  any  who  had  at  his  hand  the  honest  means  of  alleviating  suffer- 
ing to  put  it  at  the  disposal  of  humanity.  To  keep  secret  any  useful  discovery  in 
medicine  for  the  selfish  purpose  of  gain  was  "unworthy  of  anyone  below  the  honor- 
able standard  of  character  that  every  physician  and  pharmaceutist  should  scrupu- 
lously maintain,  while  the  tampering  with  medicines  by  ignorant  persons  and  the 
manufacture  of  worthless  trash  under  its  name,"  Mr.  Coggeshall  continued,  were 
''grades  of  depravity  with  which  no  compromise  should  ever  be  made." 

Quackery  had  had  "a  monstrous  growth."  It  protruded  itself  into  "all  classes 
and  circles  of  society."  It  was  to  be  met  with  "at  the  corners  of  the  streets  and 
in  our  dwellings,  mixes  with  our  daily  news,  buying  up  the  easily  purchaseable 
public  press,  which  subsists  in  a  great  measure  upon  it."  Men  who  could  write 
nothing  better,  hired  themselves  to  prepare  "puffs  of  nostrums  they  know  nothing 
about."  (Amcr.  Jour.  Phar.,  May,  1854,  201-7.)  It  was  noted  that,  as  a  literary 
relaxation,  "young  gentlemen  clerks"  in  dry  goods  stores  in  Philadelphia  were 
fabricating  certificates  of  cure  by  certain  medicines  which  purported  to  come  from 
clergymen.  (Ibid.,  July,  1849,  287-8.)  Great  names  were  "dragged  into  base  con- 
nection with  pills,  mixtures,  lotions,  plasters,  etc.,"  to  give  currency  to  the  panaceas 
of  the  day.  If  the  continued  presence  since  the  Dark  Ages  downward  of  such  a 
system — "so  monstrous,  so  impudent  in  falsehood"  (so  spoke  the  President  of  the 
New  York  College  of  Pharmacy)  had  not  "rendered  it  familiar,  if  habit  had  not 
blunted  our  sense  of  its  depravity,  if  it  could  now  be  presented  in  all  its  deformity 
before  a  civilized  community  for  the  first  time,  it  would  be  regarded  with  wonder 
at  its  audacity,  with  execration  at  its  reckless  tampering  with  the  best  temporal  in- 
terests of  humanity."  (Ibid.,  May,  1854,  201-7.) 

"The  circumstances  of  a  sparsely  settled  country  where  physicians  and  apothe- 
caries are  thinly  scattered,  by  throwing  the  people  on  their  own  resources,"  said 
the  editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  "has  been  one  of  the  most  power- 
ful causes  of  the  origin  and  growth  of  that  almost  universal  disposition  to  seek  the 
aid  of  this  class  of  medicines,  which  boldly  promise  to  supersede  the  necessity  of 
both  physician  and  apothecary,  until  now  the  whole  community  is  tainted,  from  the 
most  educated  members  of  the  legal  and  clerical  professions  down  through  the 
mercantile,  manufacturing  and  agricultural  classes  to  the  isolated  dweller  of  the 
distant  prairies  of  the  West  .  .  .  Quacks  know  the  influence  which  the  names  of 
druggists  and  pharmaceutists  lend  in  their  favor,  and  hence  they  seek  them  for 
agents  and  extensively  circulate  their  lists  of  agencies.  ...  It  is  against  this  seductive 
influence  that  we  are  to  be  induced  to  exert  ourselves ;  it  is  with  this  double-headed 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       127 

monster,  enrobed  in  such  deceitful  and  enticing  garments  as  to  disarm  our  sense  of 
insecurity,  that  we  are  to  do  battle,  if  we  hope  to  elevate  our  profession  to  the  posi- 
tion it  should  occupy  in  the  scale  of  useful  scientific  arts."  (Ibid.,  May,  1853, 
282-3.) 


GEORGE  D.  COGGESHALL 

George  D.  Coggeshall  (1807-1891).  Graduated  from  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
(1828).  Career  an  eventful  one  in  pharmacy.  Active  in  the  organization  of  the  New  York 
College  of  Pharmacy,  faithfully  serving  it  in  various  official  capacities,  including  the  presi- 
dency. Delegate  to  the  convention  of  colleges  of  pharmacy  in  1851,  and  also,  to  the  National 
Pharmaceutical  Convention  in  1852,  serving  as  recording  secretary.  Elected  first  vice-president 
of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1853.  Upon  his  demise  (1891),  George  W. 
Kennedy  wrote  of  him:  "His  life  presents  a  useful  example — earnest  labor  in  youth  and  early 
and  mid-manhood  followed  by  an  old  age  ripe  with  the  fruits  of  earlier  efforts." 


Code  of  Ethics  of  1848 

Here  was  a  call  for  more  courage  for  the  contest  by  union,  by  education,  by 
the  exertion  of  a  high  minded  and  sustained  influence  upon  public  opinion  which 
would  bring  to  order  those  whose  misbehavior  weighed  upon  the  conscience  of  so 
many  leaders  of  this  new  profession.  Already  example  had  been  salutary.  The 
force  of  bodies  like  the  colleges  of  pharmacy,  embracing  in  their  membership  the 


128       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

leading  figures  of  the  trade,  was  obviously  large.  Might  not  more  be  done?  With 
this  object  in  view  it  was  suggested  by  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  that 
a  public  statement  of  the  standards  of  professional  conduct  should  be  prepared, 
and  on  March  31,  1848,  such  a  statement  was  adopted  by  the  College  and  pro- 
mulgated in  the  following  Code  of  Ethics : 

"Pharmacy  being  a  profession  which  demands  knowledge,  skill  and  integrity  on  the 
part  of  those  engaged  in  it,  and  being  associated  with  the  medical  profession  in  the  responsible 
duties  of  preserving  the  public  health,  and  dispensing  the  useful  though  often  dangerous 
agents  adapted  to  the  cure  of  disease,  its  members  should  be  united  on  some  general 
principles  to  be  observed  in  their  several  relations  to  each  other,  to  the  medical  profession, 
and  to  the  public. 

"The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  being  a  permanent,  incorporated  institution, 
embracing  amongst  its  members  a  large  number  of  respectable  and  well-educated  apothe- 
caries, has  erected  a  standard  of  scientific  attainments,  which  there  is  a  growing  disposition 
on  the  part  of  candidates  for  the  profession  to  reach;  and  being  desirous  that,  in  relation  to 
professional  conduct  and  probity,  there  should  be  a  corresponding  disposition  to  advance, 
its  members  have  agreed  upon  the  following  principles  for  the  government  of  their  conduct : 

"1st.  The  College  of  Physicians  of  Philadelphia  having  declared  that  any  connection 
with,  or  monied  interest  in,  apothecaries'  stores,  on  the  part  of  physicians,  should  be  dis- 
countenanced ;  we  in  like  manner  consider  an  apothecary  being  engaged  in  furthering  the 
interests  of  any  particular  physician,  to  the  prejudice  of  other  reputable  members  of  the 
medical  profession,  or  allowing  any  physician  a  percentage  or  commission  on  his  prescrip- 
tions, as  unjust  toward  that  profession  and  injurious  to  the  public. 

"2d.  As  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  disease  belong  to  the  province  of  a  distinct  pro- 
fession, and  as  pharmaceutical  education  does  not  qualify  the  graduate  for  these  responsible 
offices  we  should,  where  it  is  practicable,  refer  applicants  for  medical  aid  to  a  regular 
physician. 

"3d.  As  the  practice  of  pharmacy  can  only  become  uniform  by  an  open  and  candid  inter- 
course being  kept  up  between  apothecaries,  which  will  lead  them  to  discountenance  the  use  of 
secret  formulas,  and  promote  the  general  use  and  knowledge  of  good  practice,  and,  as  this 
College  considers  that  any  discovery  which  is  useful  in  alleviating  human  suffering,  or  in 
restoring  the  diseased  to  health,  should  be  made  public  for  the  good  of  humanity  and  the 
general  advancement  of  the  healing  art,  _no  member  of  this  College  should  originate  or  pre- 
•  pare  a  medicine,  the  composition  of  which  is  concealed  from  other  members,  or  from  regular.. 
Vphysicians. 

"Whilst  the  College  does  not  at  present  feel  authorized  to  require  its  members  to  abandon 
the  sale  of  secret  or  quack  medicines,  they  earnestly  recommend  the  propriety  of  discourag- 
ing their  employment,  when  called  upon  for  an  opinion  as  to  their  merits. 

"4th.  The  apothecary  should  be  remunerated  by  the  public  for  his  knowledge  and  skill, 
and  in  his  charges  should  be  regulated  by  the  time  consumed  in  preparation,  as  well  as  by 
the  value  of  the  article  sold :  although  location  and  other  circumstances  necessarily  affect  the 

(rate  of  charges  at  different  establishments,  no  apothecary  should  intentionally  underseU^jiis 
neighbors  with  a  view  to  their  injury. 

"5th.  As  medical  men  occasionally  commit  errors  in  the  phraseology  of  their  prescrip- 
tions, which  may  or  may  not  involve  ill  consequences  to  the  patient  if  dispensed,  and  be 
injurious  to  the  character  of  the  practitioner,  it  is  held  to  be  the  duty  of  the  apothecary,  in 
such  cases,  to  have  the  corrections  made,  if  possible,  without  the  knowledge  of  the  patient, 
so  that  the  physician  may  be  screened  from  censure.  When  the  errors  are  of  such  a  char- 
acter as  not  to  be  apparent,  without  the  knowledge  of  circumstances  beyond  the  reach  of 
the  apothecary,  we  hold  him  to  be  blameless  in  case  of  ill  consequences,  the  prescription 
being  his  guarantee,  the  original  of  which  should  always  be  retained  by  the  apothecary. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       129 

"6th.  Apothecaries  are  likewise  liable  to  commit  errors  in  compounding  prescriptions : 
first,  from  the  imperfect  handwriting  of  the  physician;  secondly,  owing  to  the  various 
synonyms  of  drugs  in  use,  and  their  imperfect  abbreviations;  thirdly,  from  the  confusion 
which  ever  in  the  best  regulated  establishments  may  sometimes  occur,  arising  from  press 
of  business :  and  fourthly,  from  deficient  knowledge  or  ability  of  one  or  more  of  the  as- 
sistants in  the  shop,  or  of  the  proprietor.  We  hold  that  in  the  first  three  instances  narrfe"d" 
it  is  the  duty  of  the  physician  to  stand  between  the  apothecary  and  the  patient,  as  far  as 
possible:  and  in  the  last  that  he  should  be  governed  by  the  circumstances  of  the  case— draw- 
ing a  distinction  between  an  error  made  by  a  younger  assistant  accidentally  engaged,  and  a 
case  of  culpable  ignorance  or  carelessness  in  the  superior. 

"7th.  As  the  apothecary  should  be  able  to  distinguish  between  good  and  bad  drugs,  "TFT 
most  cases,  and  as  the  substitution  of  a  weak  or  inert  drug  for  an  active  one  may,  nega- 
tively, be  productive  of  serious  consequences,  we  hold  that  the  intentional  sale  of  impure 
drugs  or  medicines,  from  motives  of  competition,  or  desire  of  gain,  when  pure  articles  of 
the  same  kind  may  he  obtained,  is  highly  culpable,  and  that  it  is  the  duty  of  every  honest  , 
apothecary  or  druggist  to  expose  all  such  fraudulent  acts  as  may  come  to  his  knowledge.  But  \ 
in  reference  to  those  drugs  which  cannot  be  obtained  in  a  state  of  purity  we  should,  as  occa-  \ 
sion  offers,  keep  physicians  informed  of  their  quality,  that  they  may  be  governed  accordingly.. — -* 

"8th.  As  there  are  many  powerful  substances  that  rank  as  poisons,  which  are  constantly 
kept  by  apothecaries,  and  prescribed  by  physicians,  and  which  are  only  safe  in  their  hands, 
as  arsenious  acid,  vegetable  alkaloids,  ergot,  cantharides,  etc. — we  hold  that  the  apothecary 
is  not  justified  in  vending  these  powerful  agents  indiscriminately  to  persons  unqualified  to 
administer  them,  and  that  a  prescription  should  always  be  required,  except  in  those  cases 
when  the  poisons  are  intended  for  the  destruction  of  animals  or  vermin — and  in  these  in- 
stances only  with  the  guarantee  of  a  responsible  person.  And  we  hold  that  when  there  is 
good  reason  to  believe  that  the  purchaser  is  habitually  using  opiates  or  stimulants  to  excess, 
every  conscientious  apothecary  should  discourage  such  practice. 

"9th.  Xo  apprentice  to  the  business  of  apothecary  should  he  taken  for  a  less  term  than 
four  years,  unless  he  has  already  served  a  portion  of  that  time  in  an  establishment  of  good 
ttraraeter.  Apprentices  should  invariably  be  entered  as  matriculants  in  the  school  of  phar- 
macy, -and  commence  attendance  on  its  lectures  at  least  two  years  before  the  expiration  of 
their  term  of  apprenticeship;  and  as  the  progress  of  our  profession  in  the  scale  of  scientific 
attainment  must  depend  mainly  upon  those  who  are  yet  to  enter  it — it  is  recommended  that 
those  applicants  who  have  had  the  advantage  of  good  preliminary  education,  including  the 
Latin  language,  should  be  preferred."  (Amcr.  Jour.  Phar.,  April,  1848.) 

Copies  of  the  Code  of  Ethics  of  the  College  were  sent  to  the  College  of  Phy- 
sicians of  Philadelphia  and  to  other  medical  societies  for  their  consideration  with  the 
view  to  joint  action,  and  in  1849  the  by  laws  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy were  so  amended  as  to  specify  that  new  members  should  be  received  into  the 
College  only  if  they  conformed  in  their  professional  conduct  with  this  declaration 
of  principles. 

As  Charles  H.  LaWall  has  stated  (Journ.  A.  Ph.  A.,  November,  1921),  "If  the 
Quaker  apothecaries  had  done  nothing  else  of  moment,  this  code  would  remain  as 
a  monument  to  the  lofty  principles  which  actuated  these  men,  who  were  not  simply 
theorists,  but  who  carried  into  their  daily  work  the  idealism  they  held  up  as  a  pattern 
to  their  professional  brothers." 

In  1900  this  code  of  ethics  was  somewhat  modified  to  meet  the  modern  condi- 
tions of  pharmaceutical  practice,  but  the  underlying  principles,  which  were  funda- 
mentally sound  and  worthy  of  perpetuation,  were  retained  unchanged. 


130       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Ethical  Standards 

That  pharmacy  should  be  a  profession,  and  being  this,  that  it  should  make 
the  rules  and  regulations  for  its  own  government  without  the  interference  of  legis- 
latures was  the  ideal  of  most  of  the  writers  and  speakers  who  concerned  them- 
selves with  this  topic.  The  determination  of  the  qualifications  for  entering  upon 
the  business  of  dispensing  drugs,  their  adulteration,  the  sale  of  poisons  and  the 
whole  conduct  of  the  apothecary  in  the  community  were  still  controlled  by  public 
opinion  only.  A  few  state  laws  there  were,  but  these  were  so  little  heeded  that  they 
could  be  held  to  be  inoperative.  In  an  increasing  number  of  cases  death  ensued 
upon  the  carelessness  and  ignorance  of  dealers.  Such  conditions  were  arousing 
public  feeling. 

The  moral  authority  which  came  from  the  colleges,  the  establishment  of  ethical 
standards  to  govern  professional  conduct,  the  education  in  schools  of  apprentices 
who  would  have  greater  knowledge  of  the  business,  were  not  sufficient  safeguards. 
The  benefits  arising  from  this  activity  were  large,  but  in  a  considerable  measure 
they  already  had  been  reaped.  A  good  deal  of  complimentary  speech  had  been 
indulged  in  on  this  subject.  But  there  was  conviction  in  the  minds  of  many  men 
that  the  protection  of  the  law  should  be  invoked  after  all. 

Procter  spoke  with  as  much  authority  as  any  for  pharmacy.  In  the  address 
with  which  he  introduced  his  new  course  in  the  College,  he  directed  atten- 
tion to  the  increased  "moral  responsibility"  resting  on  the  apothecaries  in  the  United' 
Spates  as  compared  with  those  of  most  other  civilized  countries  "where  government 
enacts  rules  for  their  guidance."  In  Germany  and  France  pharmacy  was  "a  child 
of  the  state. '  Apothecaries  in  Germany  were  officers  of  the  government.  In 
France  the  difficulty  of  obtaining  a  diploma,  without  which  none  could  conduct  a 
drug  store,  was  so  great  as  to  bar  all  but  really  learned  men.  None  wished  so  to 
impede  the  trade  in  this  country.  But  some  form  of  governmental  action  now 
seemed  not  so  far  away.  The  liberty  which  Americans  valued  so  much,  Procter 
observed,  as  so  advantageous  in  the  common  intercourse  of  men,  is  unfortunate  in 
reference  to  medicine,  which  as  no  guarantee  of  qualification  is  required  by  law  of 
its  practitioners,  is  thrown  open  to  any  individual  who  chooses  to  adopt  the  title 
of  doctor  or  apothecary,  be  he  ever  so  ignorant.  "Men  who  were  unsuccessful, 
who  were  unfitted,  indeed,  to  succeed,"  in  the  hope  of  a  golden  reward,  prostituted 
that  knowledge  which  they  "never  should  have  acquired"  to  the  invention  of  nos- 
trums and  of  methods  of  forcing  them  into  public  notice. 

"When  we  look  abroad  in  the  land,"  Procter  continued,  "and  witness  the 
working  of  the  complex  systems  of  quackery  which,  like  the  miasma  of  an  infected 
region,  hovers  over  every  city  and  penetrates  every  village  leading  thousands  astray 
by  hollow  promises  and  lying  certificates  of  cure,  whilst  legitimate  means  are 
neglected,  or  overlooked,  we  cannot  but  desire  that  the  strong  arm  of  the  law  might 
reach  forth  and  banish  them  from  amongst  us."  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  Nov.,  1847, 
241.) 

Evolution  of  Drug  Import  Law 

If  the  law  were  to  be  invoked  and  lessons  were  to  be  taken  from  Europe  a 
good  starting  point  would  be  formed  in  the  import  drug  trade.  From  the  beginning, 
the  College  had  been  engaged  in  doing  what  it  could  to  restrict  the  traffic  in  aclul- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       131 

terated  and  spurious  drugs.  In  1847  it  memorialized  Congress  on  the  subject  of  a 
law  which  should  properly  deal  with  this  subject.  (Ibid.,  Vol.  14,  142.)  Here 
was  an  abuse  of  long  standing :  lately  conditions  had  become  so  flagrantly  out- 
rageous as  not  to  be  borne.  Since  inferior  and  deteriorated  drugs  were  under  the 
ban  of  the  government  in  European  countries  these,  of  necessity,  if  they  were  to 
find  a  market  at  all,  must  be  shipped  to  the  United  States,  and  to  this  country  they 
came  without  let  or  hindrance  of  any  kind. 

All  sense  of  responsibility  on  the  part  of  some  importers  and  brokers  in  New 
York  seemed  to  have  been  lost.  Dr.  Edwards  in  a  report  to  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives in  Washington  in  June,  1848,  said  that  the  business  of  shipping  adul- 
terated and  cheap  drugs  to  this  country  had  grown  to  be  frightfully  enormous. 
"The  United  States  had  become  the  grand  mart  and  receptacle  of  all  the  refuse 
merchandise  of  that  description,  not  only  from  the  European  warehouses,  but  from 
the  whole  Eastern  world/'  New  York  was  the  principal  receiving  center — three- 
fourths  of  all  that  was  imported  was  entered  at  that  port.  Recently  out  of  several 
shipments  of  rhubarb  not  one  pound  was  fit,  or  even  safe  for  medicinal  use ;  it  was 
worm  eaten,  decayed  by  age,  or  the  refuse  which  was  left  after  an  extract  had 
been  taken  from  it.  It  was  invoiced  at  from  five  to  fourteen  cents  a  pound  while 
the  price  of  good  root  was  from  35  cents  to  $2.50  a  pound.  Peruvian  bark  so 
generally  used  for  making  quinine  preparations  for  use  in  fevers  came  in  similar 
qualities,  adulterated  with  willow  bark,  chalk  and  plaster  of  paris,  to  be  sent  to 
auction  for  purchase  by  unprincipled  drug  dealers,  who  in  turn  carried  it  to  the 
drug  mills  to  be  ground  and  powdered,  and  sold  as  a  good  article.  Thousands  of 
pounds  of  this  trash  were  being  received  at  New  York,  invoiced  at  from  two  to 
seven  cents  a  pound,  while  a  fair  price  for  it,  when  it  was  of  a  good  quality,  was 
from  thirty  to  forty  cents  a  pound.  In  the  West  the  sick  were  taking  it  by  the 
teaspoonful,  although  in  a  pure  state  a  few  grains  would  suffice. 

Opium  came  in  from  Smyrna  not  infrequently  deprived  of  two  thirds  of  its 
active  principle  abstracted  for  the  manufacture  of  morphine.  Adulterated  with 
Spanish  liquorice  paste  mixed  with  some  bitter  extract,  the  fraud  was  not  easy  to 
detect.  Often  before  being  worked  over  for  sale  in  our  markets,  it  was  a  decaying 
mass  infested  with  living  worms.  In  a  year  not  a  single  pound  of  genuine  scam- 
mony  had  passed  the  New  York  custom  house.  All  that  was  received  was  mixed 
with  a  worthless  vegetable  extract  and  clay.  Blue  mass  when  pure  contained 
33  1/3  per  cent  of  mercury ;  often  when  it  was  imported  it  was  mixed  with  clay 
and  other  indigestible  earthy  matter,  and  contained  as  little  as  7  per  cent  of  mercury. 

So  it  was  with  calomel,  iodine  and,  indeed,  throughout  the  list  of  drugs,  chem- 
icals and  preparations.  Dr.  Bailey,  since  1846,  examiner  of  drugs  in  New  York, 
to  determine  if  they  were  fairly  invoiced,  though  without  power  to  pass  upon  their 
quality,  said  that  more  than  one-half  of  all  that  reached  that  city  were  "so  much 
adulterated  or  otherwise  deteriorated  as  to  render  them  not  only  worthless  as  medi- 
cine but  often  dangerous."  It  was,  said  Dr.  Edwards,  a  "reckless  and  murderous 
trifling  with  human  life  for  the  sake  of  filthy  lucre."  "Every  feeling  of  human- 
ity," said  he,  "as  well  as  regard  to  justice  towards  those  who  are  entrusted  with 
the  lives  of  the  people,"  demanded  the  passage  of  a  law  calculated  to  put  a  stop 
to  such  conditions.  (Amer.  Jour,  of  Phar.,  July,  1848,  203.)

Enactment  of  Drug  Import  Law 

The  law  entitled  "an  act  to  prevent  the  importation  of  adulterated  and  spuri- 
ous drugs  and  medicines,"  was  proposed  amid  a  good  deal  of  opposition  on  the 
part  of  the  drug  dealers  of  New  York  who  were  profiting  by  the  nefarious  busi- 
ness. Such  legislation  was  in  violation  of  ''freedom  of  trade.''  But  the  opposition 
did  not  avail.  Congress  promptly  passed  the  measure  and  it  was  approved  by 
President  Polk  on  June  26,  1848.  By  its  provisions,  examiners  were  to  be  ap- 
pointed to  serve  at  six  American  ports  —  New  York,  Boston,  Philadelphia,  Balti- 
more, Charleston  and  New  Orleans,  and  they  would  have  the  power  to  exclude 
drugs  found  to  be  "so  far  adulterated  or  in  any  manner  deteriorated  as  to  render 
them  inferior  in  strength  and  purity  to  the  standard  established  by  the  United  "Slates. 
Edinburgh,  London,  French  and  German  pharmacopoeias  and  dispensatories,  and 
thereby  improper,  unsafe  and  dangerous  to  be  used  for  medicinal  purposes."  (U.  S. 
Statutes  at  Large.  Vol.  IX,  237-9.) 

The  inspecting  officers  were  chosen  and  the  work  began.  Dr.  Bailey  was  the 
appointee  for  New  York.  In  July,  1848,  he  rejected  6,650  pounds  of  rhubarb 
root  from  Canton  and  931  pounds  of  opium  from  Marseilles.  Before  the  end  of 
the  year,  many  tons  of  jalap,  rhubarb,  cinchona,  gamboge,  senna,  yellow  bark, 
myrrh  and  other  drugs  and  medicines  fell  under  his  ban.  (A.  J.  P.  April,  1849,  159) 

Organization  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
The  time  had  now  come  for  the  formation  of  a  national  pharmaceutical  asso- 
ciation.    In  the  Federal  drug  import  law  was  found  the  impulse  to  effect  this  de- 
sirable action.    Juy_e__cc>lleges  of  pharmacy  had 


closely  followed  Philadelphia,  with  the  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy  founded  in 
1829.  Baltimore  established  the  Maryland  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1841.  Cincin- 
nati, the  principal  city  of  the  West,  formed  a  college  in  1849.  The  apothecaries  of 
Boston  and  the  surrounding  territory  organized  an  association  under  the  name  of 
the  Massachusetts  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1826,  which  commenced  its  educa- 
tional work  in  1850.  All  of  these  institutions  were  functioning  more  or  less 
actively  in  their  several  communities  in  the  interest  of  higher  ethical  standards.  In 
some  degree  they  were  voices  in  the  wilderness,  but  they  were  heard.  It  was 
clear  enough  that  some  men  were  at  hand  with  ideals  to  which  others  would  find 
it  to  their  honor  to  conform. 

The  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy  which  was  situated  at  the  seat  of  the 
trade  in  imported  drugs,  had  been  particularly  active  in  the  agitation  which  had  led 
to  the  passage  of  the  law  of  1848,  and  many  of  the  members  were  dissatisfied  with 
the  phrasing  of  that  law  and  the  manner  in  which  it  was  being  enforced.  There 
was  need  of  standards  for  the  government  of  the  examiners.  "Cheating  in  medi- 
cine is  a  great  moral  and  ought  to  be  a  legal  felony,  compared  with  which  the  coun- 
terfeiting of  bank  notes  and  coin  are  venial  offences,"  said  the  New  York  College. 

With  the  object  of  forwarding  this  movement,  the  several  incorporated  bodies 
were  invited  to  send  delegates  to  a  convention  to  be  held  in  New  York  on  October 
15,  1851.  In  this  meeting  Baltimore  and  Cincinnati,  though  they  had  promised  to 
participate,  had  no  representatives.  All  the  delegates  in  attendance  were  drawn 
from  New  York,  Philadelphia  and  Boston.  They  were  organized  by  caITTng~Cr5afTes 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       133 

Ellis,  of  Philadelphia,  to  the  chair,  whereupon  Dr.  C.  B.  Guthrie,  of  New  York, 
\\as  chosen  president  and  Alfred  B.  Taylor,  of  Philadelphia,  secretary  of  the  con- 
VeTrtTOn.  The  working  of  the  drug  import  law  was  brought  under  review  and  its 
defects  discussed.  The  convention  found  that  the  act  was  "ample"  in  its  general 
provisions,  which  made  the  various  pharmacopoeias  and  dispensatories  of  this  coun- 
try and  Europe  the  basis  for  the  examination,  but  it  urged  that  "positive  standards" 
be  fixed  for  "a  few  prominent  articles,"  unless  these  were  to  be  employed  in  manu- 
facturing chemical  preparations  used  in  medicine,  and  then  only  upon  sufficient 
bonds  being  given  that  they  were  to  be  devoted  solely  to  such  use.  It  was  proposed 
that  tests  be  established  for  the  guidance  of  the  examiners  in  the  cases  of  certain 
drugs  as  follows : 

Opium  should  be  passed  only  if  it  contained  8%  of  pure  morphia. 

Aleppo  Cake  Scammony,  only  if  it  contained  40%  of  true  scammony  resin. 

Virgin  Scammony,  only  if  it  contained  65%  of  true  scammony  resin. 

Elaterium,  only  if  it  contained  25%  of  elaterin. 

Iodine,  only  if  it  contained  no  more  than  3%  of  water  and  should  be  free  from  other 

impurities. 
Gum  resins  used  in  medicine,  such  as  Assafoetida  and  Ammoniac,  only  if  they  contained 

no  more  than  15%  of  extraneous  matter. 

Moreover,  all  false  cinchona  barks  from  South  America,  i.  e.,  those  which 
contained  none  of  the  cinchona  alkaloids,  and  all  rhubarb  of  European  origin 
should  be  rejected. 

The  examiner  in  each  port  should  collect  and  deposit  in  his  office  a  cabinet  of 
specimens  of  drugs,  chemicals,  etc.,  to  be  used  in  comparison  in  the  course  of  his 
work  of  inspection.  The  "greatest  carefulness  should  be  exercised  by  the  appoint- 
ing power  in  the  selection  of  the  examiners."  In  furtherance  of  this  object,  the 
colleges  of  pharmacy  declared  that  "if  solicited,"  they  would  "cheerfully  render 
their  assistance,"  an  offer  which  met  with  no  appreciation  at  Washington.  While 
Robert  J.  Walker,  as  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  had  displayed  an  enlightened  and 
honorable  interest  in  the  subject,  his  successor  William  M.  Meredith,  amid  and  in 
spite  of  general  protests,  proceeded  in  a  manner  too  often  characteristic  of  our 
American  politics,  to  dismiss  the  efficient  incumbent  of  the  office  of  examiner  in 
Philadelphia,  who  enjoyed  the  "confidence  and  respect  of  the  importers,  druggists 
and  physicians"  (Ainer.  Jour.  Phar.,  July,  1850,  280),  and  put  an  entirely  incom- 
petent man  in  his  place  as  a  reward  for  political  service.  Shortly,  similar  proceed- 
ings disgraced  the  administration  at  Washington  and  imperiled  the  drug  market 
with  reference  to  the  examiners  in  Baltimore  and  Boston. 

This  subject  disposed  of,  the  convention  passed  to  matters  of  permanent  bear- 
ing upon  the  progress  of  the  profession,  under  the  leadership  of  the  delegates  of 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  who,  from  the  first,  had  had  in  view  the 
formation  of  a  national  association  for  more  general  objects.  ( Edward  Parrish, 
Amer.  Jour.  Plmr  July  1Kj£  700)  Accordingly  it  was  resolved  that  for  the 
"advancement  of  the  true  interests  of  the  great  body  of  pharmaceutical  practitioners 
in  all  sections  of  our  country,"  for  the  creation  of  "a  code  of  ethics  calculated  to 
elevate  the  standard  and  improve  the  practice  of  their  art,"  for  the  establishment 
and  support  of  schools  of  pharmacy,  united  action  was  required.  "Much  good," 


134       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

it  was  declared,  "would  result  from  a  more  extended  intercourse  between  the  phar- 
maceutists of  the  several  sections  of  the  Union,  by  which  their  customs  and  prac- 
tice may  be  assimilated."  To  forward  this  end,  a  convention  made  up  of  three  dele- 
gates from  each  incorporated  and  unincorporated  college  and  pharmaceutical  so- 
ciety in  the  country  was  called  to  assemble  in  Philadelphia  in  October,  1852, 
"when  all  the  important  questions  bearing  on  the  profession  may  be  considered  and 
measures  adopted  for  the  organization  of  a  national  association  to  meet  every  year." 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College  put  the  hall  on  Zane  Street  at  the  dis- 
posal of  the  delegates,  and  a  committee,  of  which  William  Procter,  Jr.,  was  the 
chairman,  proceeded  with  the  preliminary  arrangements.  A  general  invitation 
was  extended  to  the  trade  to  send  its  representatives.  In  towns  and  cities  where 
no  associations  were  yet  formed,  apothecaries  were  urged  to  choose  one  or  more  of 
their  number  to  attend  the  convention  in  Philadelphia  on  October  6,  1852. 

The  hour  of  meeting  was  four  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  to  admit  of  "our 
New  York  and  Baltimore  friends  leaving  home  in  the  morning."  The  five  colleges 
in  Philadelphia,  New  York,  Boston,  Baltimore  and  Cincinnati,  and  the  New  Rich- 
mond Pharmaceutical  Society,  were  represented.  A  number  of  men  who  were 
not  officially  accredited  to  the  Convention  were  invited  to  occupy  seats  and  to  take 
part  in  the  proceedings.  Daniel  B.  Smith  was  chosen  to  preside  over  the  sessions. 
There  were  three  vice-presidents  drawn  from  Baltimore,  Boston  and  Cincinnati, 
respectively.  George  D.  Coggeshall,  of  New  York,  was  elected  recording  secretary, 
and  William  Procter,  Jr.,  corresponding  secretary.  A  constitution  was  presented 
and  adopted.  The  new  body  was  called  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 

The  convention  was  not  numerously  attended  because  of  the  novelty  of  the  pro- 
ject and  the  difficulties  attending  travel  from  place  to  place.  But  several  subjects 
were  discussed  and  referred  to  committees,  among  them  the  drug  import  law,  the 
sale  of  poisons,  the  secret  medicine  business  and  pharmaceutical  education.  With- 
out the  wish  to  impose  their  views  upon  the  profession  generally  which  might,  it 
was  hoped,  be  drawn  into  the  new  association,  the  leaders  of  the  movement  in  Phila- 
delphia and  New  York,  who  predominated  were  content  to  submit  for  discussion 
questions  about  which  their  own  opinions  were  long  made  up.  Definite  action 
would  be  reserved  for  future  meetings  after  the  views  of  the  country  should  be 
ascertained^  A  "Code  of  Ethics,"  but  of  not  so  clear  a  moral  tone  as  that  which 
/guided  the  members  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  was  adopted  and 
subscribed  to  by  the  delegates.  The  convention  adjourned  to  meet  in  Boston  in 
L853. 

A.  Ph.  A.  Conventions 

To  the  Boston  convention  a  larger  number  came.  The  representation  of  each 
college  and  pharmaceutical  society  had  been  increased  from  three  to  five  delegates. 
Philadelphia  sent  Daniel  B.  Smith,  Charles  Ellis,  William  Procter,  Jr.,  Charles 
Bullock  and  Edward  Parrish,  five  of  its  most  enlightened  pharmacists,  and  the  in- 
terval of  a  year  for  reflection  yielded  reports  of  committees  upon  which  action  ex- 
pressive of  the  views  of  the  country  could  be  based. 

The  committee  on  the  inspection  of  drugs  disagreed  with  the  findings  of  the 
convention  which  had  met  in  New  York  two  years  before  as  to  the  establishment 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       135 

of  standards  for  the  examiners,  practically  concluding;  that  what  was  more  needed 
than  an  amendment  of  the  law,  was  its  interpretation  and  enforcement  by  honest 
and  competent  officers.  The  report  of  the  committees  on  the  sale  of  poisons  dis- 
closed the  fact  that,  in  strange  contrast  with  conditions  long  prevailing  on  the  con- 
tinent of  Europe,  there  was  almost  no  legislation  on  the  subject  in  this  country. 
Poisons  were  used  freely  everywhere  for  the  destruction  of  insects  and  vermin — in 
the  West  to  kill  wolves  and  other  wild  animals,  which  surrounded  the  settlers'  cab- 
ins and  ravaged  their  herds  and  flocks.  Cases  of  the  fatal  misapplication  of  arsenic, 
corrosive  sublimate,  prussic  acid,  strychnine,  etc.,  were  not  unusual.  Just  lately, 
Ohio  had  passed  a  law  regulating  the  sale  of  arsenic  and  other  poisons.  In  that 
state,  the  dealer  must  register  his  sales  in  a  book  kept  for  that  purpose  unless  they 
were  made  upon  a  physician's  prescription.  He  should  place  the  word  "Poison"  on 
the  wrapper  of  each  package  given  out  and  furnish  none  to  minors.  To  change  the 
color  of  arsenic  and  render  it  less  likely  to  be  confused  with  harmless  powders,  it 
should  be  mixed  with  soot  or  indigo  when  it  was  sold  in  less  than  one  pound  lots. 
The  committee  did  not  recommend  recourse  to  the  stringent  measures  which  had 
been  adopted  in  Europe.  It  was  desired,  however,  that  the  trade  be  confined  to  drug- 
gists and  apothecaries  who  should  be  compelled  by  law  to  keep  an  accurate  record 
of  their  sales,  and  that  all  packages  should  be  distinctly  marked  "Poison."  The 
Association,  supporting  its  committee,  urged  the  enactment  of  such  laws  in  the  sev- 
eral states.  The  unrestricted  sale  of  opium  was  reserved  for  future  study. 

The  trade  in  quack  medicines  was  the  subject  of  much  argument.  Difficulties 
attended  the  assault  upon  such  a  stronghold.  Dr.  Charles  B.  Guthrie  would  Have 
had  the  Association  recommend  the  states  to  enact  laws  requiring  every  person 
engaged  in  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  any  patent  or  secret  remedy  to  file  with 
the  proper  state  authorities  "a  full  and  complete  formula"  for  such  remedy.  To 
this  proposal  there  was  much  opposition.  Delegate:;  deprecated  an  appeal  to  force : 
the  same  result  could  be  better  reached  by  education.  It  was  "mainly  by  the  sale  of 
qYiack  medicines  that  many  druggists  subsist."  Kdwarcl  Parrish,  who  was  as  clear- 
as  any  in  his  views  and  statements  on  the  subject,  would  not  set  up  standards  to 
which  the  rank  and  file  could  not  conform.  He  would  extend  a  welcome  to  all. 
He  would  take  them  in  and  reform  them  afterward.  He  would  trust  "to  the  force 
of  sound  principle  and  the  contagion  of  good  example"  to  spread  through  the  ranks 
until  "a  higher  and  better  standard  of  practice"  should  be  attained.  (Amer.  Jour. 
Pliar.,  July,  1854,  290-91.)  Finally,  these  resolutions  were  passed  : 

"Resolved,  that  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  believes  that  the  use  of  secret 
or  quack  medicines  is  wrong  in  principle  and  is  in  practice  attended  with  injurious  effects  to 
both  the  profession  and  the  public  at  large,  and  believes  it  to  be  the  duty  of  every  conscien- 
tious druggist  to  discourage  their  use. 

"Resolved,  that  this  Association  earnestly  recommends  to  our  pharmaceutical  brethren  to 
discourage  by  every  honorable  means  the  use  of  these  nostrums ;  to  refrain  from  recom- 
mending them  to  their  customers ;  not  to  use  any  means  of  bringing  them  into  public  notice ; 
not  to  manufacture  or  to  have  manufactured  any  medicine  the  composition  of  which  is  not 
made  public ;  and  to  use  every  opportunity  of  exposing  their  use  and  the  false  means  which 
are  employed  to  induce  their  consumption." 

The  convention  adjourned  to  meet  in  Cincinnati  in  July,  1854.     This  was  a 
doubtful  experiment.    But  "the  brethren  of  the  Atlantic  cities"  were  urged  "to  get 


136       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

into  the  cars  some  pleasant  morning"  and  "be  wafted  over  the  Alleghenies  and 
down  the  Ohio"  to  the  Queen  City  of  the  West.  After  their  meeting  on  the  banks 
of  the  "beautiful  river,"  they  could  return  home  by  Niagara  Falls  and  the  Hudson. 
As  a  matter  of  fact  few  did  attend  the  meeting,  but  the  sentimental  effect  of  a  con- 
vention in  the  "West"  was  not  lost  upon  the  country ;  thus  was  the  Association 
brought  to  bear  the  appearance  of  being  truly  national  in  character. 

In  1855,  the  Association  again  met  in  New  York ;  in  1856,  in  Baltimore ;  in 
1857,  again  in  Philadelphia ;  in  1858,  in  the  Hall  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution  in 
Washington,  and  in  succeeding  years,  it  has  met  in  all  sections  of  the  country. 

It  is  interesting  to  note,  also,  that  the  Jubilee  Session  of  the  Association  of 
1902  was  held  in  the  College,  as  it  was  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
(Zane  Street  Building)  that  the  organization  meeting  of  the  Association  was  held 
in  1852  and  Daniel  B.  Smith  elected  its  first  president. 


Smith  and  Ellis 

It  may  be  stated,  also,  that  during  the  occupancy  of  the  Zane  Street  Building 
by  the  College,  the  presidents  were  Daniel  B.  Smith  (1829  to  1854),  and  Charles 
Ellis  (1854  to  1869),  the  former  remarkable  for  his  versatility  and  executive  abil- 
ity, and  the  latter  for  his  almost  parental  care  of  the  institution  and  never  ceasing 
labor  for  its  advancement,  especially  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy.

Sugar  Coated  Pills 

Like  the  process  of  percolation  the  sugar  coating-  of  pills  was  discovered  in 
France,  but  was  developed  in  America  by  the  labors  of  Warner,  Bullock,  Wiegand 
and  others.  Probably,  the  first  sugar  coated  pills  "that  acquired  much  repute  in 
this  country  were  those  imported  from  France  and  made  by  Gamier  Lamoreau 
and  Co.,  some  fifty-five  or  sixty  years  ago,  and  were  very  beautiful  specimens  of 
the  confectioner's  skill ;  but  many  physicians  of  high  standing  and  excellent  judg- 
ment ignored  them  entirely,  as  the  result  of  their  experience  induced  them  to  think 
the  process  of  sugar  coating  'baked'  them  so  thoroughly  that  they  were  nearly  in- 
soluble." (''Sugar  Coated  Pills,"  Thomas  S.  Wiegand,  Amcr.  Jour.  Pharm.,  1902, 
33.) 

William  R.  Warner 

William  Richard  Warner  (1836-1901).  Born  in  Caroline  County,  Maryland.  Early 
education  in  country  school  and  Eastern  Academy.  Entered  as  a  lad  in  the  employ  of  Cham- 
berlain and  Anderson,  druggists  of  Easton,  Md.  Became  deeply  interested  in  natural  science 
and  contributed  a  number  of  scientific  papers  to  the  local  press.  Entered  the  Philadelphia 


WILLIAM  R.  WARNER 

College  of  Pharmacy  and  graduated  in  1856.  Opened  store  at  Second  and  Girard  Avenue. 
Gradually  engaged  in  manufacturing.  Was  the  first  manufacturer  of  sugar  coated  pills  in  this 
country  (1857),  manufacturing  them  extensively.  Upon  this  subject  William  R.  Warner,  Jr., 
writes:  "My  father  conceived  the  idea  of  sugar  coating  pills  when  a  lad  in  the  drug  store  at 


138       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Easton,  Md.,  and  accomplished  the  feat  though  somewhat  crudely.  I  am  inclined  to  believe 
that  he  perfected  his  process  of  covering  pills  with  sugar  shortly  after  1856,  probably  the  next 
year ;  he  made  them  and  sold  them  to  Bullock  and  Crenshaw  in  bulk  and  they  put  them  up  and 
marketed  them  as  their  own,  such  as  is  now  done  by  druggists  under  "buyers  name."  My  father 
was  not  known  by  the  profession  as  the  real  maker  of  sugar  coated  pills  at  that  time.  Later 
(1866),  he  purchased  a  wholesale  drug  business  at  154  North  Third  Street,  at  about  the  same 
time  the  contract  he  had  with  Bullock  and  Crenshaw  expired.  Then  it  was  that  he  began  to 
manufacture  as  William  R.  Warner  and  Co.,  marketing  his  goods  under  his  own  name  and  the 
label  of  William  R.  Warner  and  Co."  Removed  (1876)  to  1228  Market  Street  and  extended 
his  line  of  manufacturing,  both  for  foreign  and  domestic  markets.  Built  (1891)  and  occu- 
pied the  "Warner  Hall"  at  Broad  and  Wallace  Streets.  Joined  the  College  in  1858  and  con- 
tinued as  a  member  until  his  demise.  Took  a  keen  interest  in  the  progress  of  scientific  phar- 
macy and  contributed  a  number  of  articles  to  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  and  other 
periodicals.  Later,  the  details  of  his  rapidly  growing  business  engrossed  his  thoughts,  and 
here  he  exhibited  the  same  energy  and  avidity  in  mastering  the  problems  of  commerce  and 
manufacture,  and  achieved  unusual  business  success.  After  his  demise  the  business  was  con- 
tinued by  William  R.  Warner,  Jr.  (graduate  of  the  class  of  1881)  until  1908,  when  it  was  sold 
to  Geo.  A.  Pfeiffer  and  Brother  and  moved  to  New  York,  but  is  continued  under  the  name 
of  William  R.  Warner  and  Company.

CHAPTER  V 
FROM  ZANE  STREET  TO  NORTH  TENTH  STREET 

In  1854  upon  the  retirement  of  Daniel  B.  Smith,  after  he  had  completed  a 
quarter  of  a  century  in  the  office,  Charles  Ellis  was  elected  to  the  presidency  of  the 
College.  He  was  to  hold  the  post  for  fifteen  years,  or  until  1869 — his  death  fol- 
lowed in  1874  (Ainer.  Jour.  Phar.,  March,  1875),  when  he  was  succeeded  by  Dill- 
wyn  Parrish.  When  Professor  Carson  resigned  the  chair  of  materia  medica  in 
1850,  to  succeed  Professor  Wood  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  the  place  was 


ROBERT  P.  THOMAS 

given  to  Robert  P.  Thomas,  who  remained  in  the  position  until  his  death  in  1864, 
to  be  succeeded  by  Edward  Parrish,  who  occupied  the  place  until  1867,  when  he 
exchanged  places  with  John  M.  Maisch,  who  had  been  professor  of  pharmacy 
(1866-1867).  Maisch  now  passed  to  the  chair  of  materia  medica,  to  which  was 
joined  for  the  first  time  the  subject  of  botany,  thus  affording  the  incumbent  a  wider 
field  of  action.  At  Parrish's  death  in  1872,  the  chair  of  pharmacy  was  again 
occupied  by  Procter,  for  a  brief  period,  to  be  succeeded  by  Joseph  P.  Remington 
in  1874. 


140       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Thomas 

Robert  P.  Thomas  was  a  distinguished  figure  in  the  history  of  American  phar- 
macognosy.  Only  one  other  man  in  the  United  States  at  the  time  was  held  to  be 
his  equal  as  a  lecturer  on  materia  medica,  and  that  was  Dr.  George  B.  Wood. 
(Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1864,  191-277.)  Like  so  many  who  had  played  their  parts 
in  the  development  of  the  school,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends.  At 
sixteen  he  entered  the  counting  room  of  a  shipping  house,  but  his  interest  drew 
him  to  natural  history.  He  made  his  way  forward  toilsomely  at  much  personal  sacri- 
fice until  he  was  enabled  to  enter  and  complete  his  course  in  the  medical  school  of 
the  University.  There  he  received  his  medical  degree,  in  1847,  and  three  years 
later  came  to  the  College,  where  by  his  industry  and  zeal  he  made  a  deep  impres- 
sion. 

From  the  Faculty  of  the  school  had  come  the  Pharmacopoeia  of  1830  and  the 
College  continued  to  be  a  leading  factor  in  the  revisions  of  that  work.  \Yood  and 
Bache,  while  in  its  service,  published  the  United  States  Dispensatory.  Benjamin 
Ellis  had  issued  a  "Medical  Formulary,"  and  Robert  Eglesfeld  Griffith  a  "Univer- 
sal Formulary,"  both  standard  compilations  of  their  day.  Thomas  revised  these 
works  and  kept  them  abreast  of  the  times.  His  editorial  labors  in  bringing  these 
books,  so  useful  to  pharmacists,  into  conformity  with  the  progress  of  pharma- 
ceutical science,  added  to  his  own  as  well  as  to  the  reputation  of  the  College.  Sud- 
denly, within  forty-eight  hours  of  the  conclusion  of  one  of  his  lectures,  he  died  of 
a  fever  at  the  age  of  forty-three. 

Parrish 

Edward  Parrish  who  followed  him,  the  seventh  incumbent  of  the  chair  of 
materia  medica,  and  the  only  one  as  yet  who  had  not  come  to  the  place  through  a 
medical  school,  had  been  a  figure  of  note  in  the  College  for  many  years.  He  was  a 
son  of  the  eminent  Philadelphia  physician,  Dr.  Joseph  Parrish.  Graduating  at 
the  College  in  the  class  of  1842,  after  a  course  of  training  in  the  shop  of  his  brother 
Dillwyn  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Eighth  and  Arch  Streets,  in  1843  he  opened  a 
drug  store  of  his  own  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Ninth  and  Chestnut  Streets  in  the 
shadow  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  Here,  in  contact  with  the  professors 
of  that  school,  he  became  impressed  with  the  belief  that  the  students  who  came  to 
Philadelphia  from  all  parts  of  the  country  to  study  medicine,  were  going  out  as 
practitioners  of  medicine  without  a  knowledge  of  pharmacy ;  and  to  many  of  them, 
who  would  locate  in  country  villages  and  small  towns  where  there  were  no  apothe- 
caries, the  want  of  such  knowledge  would  be  a  great  loss  to  themselves  and  disad- 
vantageous to  the  communities  in  which  they  would  settle  for  practice.  Therefore, 
in  the  autumn  of  1849,  he  issued  a  prospectus  addressed  to  medical  students  par- 
ticularly, and,  in  rooms  in  the  rear  of  his  store  at  Ninth  and  Chestnut  Streets, 
opened  what  he  called  a  "School  of  Practical  Pharmacy."  When,  in  a  few  years, 
he  sold  this  store  to  enter  partnership  with  his  brother  Dillwyn  at  Eighth  and  Arch 
Streets,  he  moved  his  school  to  those  premises,  where  it  rapidly  grew  in  reputation. 

A  ready  speaker,  of  genial  manners,  his  courses  were  very  popular,  and  in 
1857  he  could  say  that  in  the  eight  years  past  he  had  given  instruction  in  phar- 
macy to  299  medical  students,  drawn  from  nearly  every  state  of  the  Union  and 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       141 

from  British  America.  He  wrote  a  book  called  an  "Introduction  to  Practical  Phar- 
macy," the  first  edition  of  which  appeared  in  1855,  and  his  prominence  as  a  teacher 
and  a  writer  and  as  an  executive  officer,  which  was  clearly  evidenced  later  in  his 
raising  the  funds  for  and  in  acting  as  the  first  president  of  Swarthmore  College, 


EDWARD  PARRISH 

at  length  brought  him  into  the  Faculty  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 
He  had  been  a  candidate  for  Professor  Carson's  place  in  1850,  but  as  he  had  not 
had  a  training  in  medicine,  then  believed  to  be  requisite  in  one  who  should  hold  the 
chair  of  materia  medica,  he  was  not  chosen.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  May,  1873,  225.) 

Maisch 

John  M.  Maisch  was  a  different  type  of  man.  Neither  Quaker  nor  Philadel- 
phian,  he  was  distinctly  unlike  those  who  had  previously  taught,  barring  Gerard 
Troost,  the  Hollander,  whose  service  in  the  College  had  covered  only  one  year. 
Maisch  was  born  in  Germany  in  1831  and  came  to  this  country  as  a  very  young 
man.  Like  Carl  Schurz,  he  had  been  imprisoned  for  his  political  activities  during 
the  Revolution  of  1848.  Like  Schurz,  also,  he  had  escaped  from  his  confinement 
and  like  him  and  many  other  Liberals,  who  later  attained  distinction  in  American 
life,  he  left  his  native  land  to  escape  the  repressions  which  would  ensue  upon  the 
failure  of  that  popular  uprising.  He  arrived  in  Baltimore  practically  penniless ;  his 


142       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

vicarious  employments  led  him  from  that  city  to  Washington,  then  in  1853  to  Phila- 
delphia, a  year  or  so  later  to  New  York,  and  in  1856  back  to  Philadelphia,  where 
he  was  a  clerk  in  a  drug  store  and  an  instructor  in  Parrish's  School  of  Practical 
Pharmacy.  In  1861  he  returned  to  New  York,  being  for  a  time  professor  of  ma- 
teria  medica  and  pharmacy  in  the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  that  city,  and  working  at 
the  same  time  in  the  laboratory  of  Edward  R.  Squibb.  Two  years  later  he  was  once 


JOHN  M.  MAISCH 

more  in  Philadelphia.  The  Civil  War  was  then  at  its  height  and  he  organized  and, 
until  peace,  directed  a  United  States  Army  Laboratory,  in  which  position  he  effected 
important  financial  savings  to  the  Government.  When  peace  came,  being  without 
employment,  he  opened  a  little  retail  drug  store  on  Ridge  Avenue,  which  he  con- 
ducted for  a  time,  after  which  he  joined  the  Faculty  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  to  which  he  brought  the  strength  of  his  vigorous  mind,  his  unquestioned 
capacity  as  a  teacher  and  the  rich  store  of  learning  he  possessed  concerning  materia 
medica,  especially  from  the  pharmaceutical  viewpoint.  In  1871  when  the  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy  became  a  monthly — it  had  been  a  quarterly  until  1853  and  since 
then  a  bi-monthly — he  succeeded  Procter  as  editor,  a  post  which  he  held  for  twenty- 
two  years.  As  a  thinker,  writer,  teacher,  investigator,  he  carried  on  the  principles 
and  traditions  of  the  College  and  made  pharmaceutical  history.  He  had  the  accurate 
and  painstaking  love  of  detail  characteristic  of  the  German  scholar.  His  learning 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       143 

won  general  recognition,  in  token  of  which  he  was  made  a  member  in  a  large  num- 
ber of  learned  societies  abroad.  Many  a  young  man  was  inspired  to  greater  en- 
deavor by  contact  with  his  powerful  mind.  His  book  on  "Organic  Materia 
Medica,"  and  his  innumerable  writings,  attested  to  his  unusual  industry  in  research. 
(Amcr.  Jour.  Phar.,  Jan.,  1894,  and  Aug.,  1897.) 

College  Development 

Under  such  leadership  the  College  prospered.  Each  year  a  considerable  num- 
ber of  young  men  were  graduated  to  take  their  places  in  the  ranks  of  pharmacy 
in  all  parts  of  the  United  States.  The  multiplication  of  schools,  an  ideal  which  was 
kept  before  the  country  by  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  and  by  the  Amer- 
ican Pharmaceutical  Association,  after  it  was  organized,  led  to  the  establishment  of 
schools  in  other  cities.  Thither  students  went  from  their  own  neighborhoods, 
though  the  Philadelphia  school,  with  a  notable  history  and  a  reputation  well  main- 
tained, in  a  center  which  was  widely  held  in  high  esteem  as  the  Mecca  for  phar- 
maceutical education,  yielded  nothing  to  its  competitors. 

Soon  after  the  accession  of  Thomas  to  the  Faculty  the  number  of  students 
largely  increased.  His  instruction,  Edward  Parrish  declared  to  be  "unsurpassed 
in  interest  and  in  utility  by  any  similar  course  delivered  in  the  College."  ("His- 
torical Memoirs  of  the  Phila.  Coll.  Phar.,"  Edward  Parrish,  Amer.  Jour.  Phar., 
1869,  17.)  The  number  of  graduates  in  1868  were  51.  There  had  been  an  aver- 
age number  annually  for  the  nineteen  years  preceding  the  election  of  Procter  to 
the  new  chair  of  pharmacy  in  1846  of  only  51/-,  while  in  the  nineteen  years  which 
followed  the  average  number  receiving  the  diploma  annually  was  21.  Very  many 
more  had  heard  the  lectures.  In  the  first  twelve  years  in  the  school's  history,  out  of 
more  than  400  matriculants  only  twenty-eight  had  graduated.  Up  to  and  including 
1869,  the  total  number  of  graduates  had  been  701,  while  the  number  of  registered 
attendants  upon  the  lectures  approached  3,000. 

This  condition  was  due  to  the  fact  that  many  students  in  the  city's  medical 
school,  while  they  did  not  wish  to  complete  the  courses  and  receive  a  diploma  were 
glad  to  avail  themselves  of  the  opportunity  of  hearing  the  lectures  upon  pharmacy 
for  the  same  reason  that  many  had  attended  Parrish's  Practical  School,  since  all 
who  did  not  intend  to  practice  in  the  larger  cities  would  find  it  necessary  in  all 
probability  to  compound  and  dispense  their  own  medicines. 

The  condition  was  due,  also,  to  the  fact  that  during  the  first  half  century  of 
the  College  there  were  no  pharmacy  laws,  and  no  prerequisite  pharmacy  laws  until 
1905,  and  graduation  was  not  compulsory  until  recently  or  even  in  many  cases 
regarded  as  essential.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  during  the  first  one  hundred 
years  of  the  College,  probably  20,000  students  attended  all  or  a  part  of  the  courses, 
and  of  these  only  7,500  were  graduated. 

The  Alumni  Association  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  organ- 
ized in  1864.  This  organization  soon  made  itself  a  force  to  keep  the  graduates  of 
the  College,  especially  those  residing  in  distance  places,  in  close  touch  with  the 
activities  of  the  College.  As  time  went  on,  its  influence  increased,  and  it  became 
an  exceedingly  important  factor  in  the  development  of  the  College. 

The  membership  of  the  College  at  the  time  of  its  institution  was  68  and  in 


144       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

five  years  time  increased  to  98 ;  it  was  about  125  in  1868  when  the  time  had  come 
to  leave  the  Hall  on  Zane  Street,  where  it  had  been  since  1832.  The  classes  had 
greatly  increased.  The  school  had  outgrown  the  premises,  despite  the  alterations 
which  the  Board  of  Trustees  had  made  from  time  to  time.  Thirty-five  years  had 
passed  before  the  College  was  enabled  to  free  itself  from  the  financial  burdens  it  had 
assumed  in  reference  to  the  property.  Small  as  such  a  debt  seems  to  us,  at  this 
day,  the  resources  of  the  institution  were  so  limited  that  it  could  not  be  discharged 
except  by  the  contribution  of  loans  by  the  holders  and  the  collection  of  funds  from 
friends  of  the  institution.  It  was  truly  a  day  of  modest  beginnings. 

Larger  Quarters  Needed 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  College  in  the  spring  of  1867,  a  committee  was 
appointed  to  co-operate  with  a  committee  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  to  select  a  new 
site  and  make  the  necessary  arrangements  preliminary  to  a  removal  to  larger  quar- 
ters. Several  pieces  of  ground  were  inspected — on  Penn  Square,  on  Race  Street 
near  Fifteenth  Street,  and  elsewhere.  The  Race  Street  lot  was  on  the  point  of  being 
acquired  when,  Edward  Parrish,  while  walking  one  day  on  Arch  Street,  entered 
into  conversation  on  the  subject  with  a  young  real  estate  dealer,  who  called  his  at- 
tention to  a  site  on  Tenth  Street  above  Cherry  Street.  The  purchase  of  this  prop- 
erty was  authorized  on  December  10,  1867,  and  the  hall  on  Zane  Street  was  sold 
on  January  7,  1868,  to  J.  B.  Lippincott  for  $15,000,  to  be  used  for  stereotyping 
rooms  in  connection  with  his  publishing  house  located  nearby. 

A  final  meeting  of  the  College  was  held  in  the  hall  on  March  30,  1868,  when 
the  secretary  was  directed  to  make  the  following  entry  on  the  minutes :  "The  mem- 
bers of  the  College  are  reminded  that  the  present  is  the  last  meeting  of  the  College 
within  the  walls  of  the  present  building,  where  for  many  years  they  have  so  pleas- 
antly conferred  together.  On  separating  and  bidding  adieu  to  the  present  locality, 
they  hope  that  their  next  regular  assembly  will  be  under  pleasant  auspices  in  a 
building  better  adapted  to  the  growing  necessities  of  the  College  and  that  each 
member  will  feel  a  renewed  interest  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy." 

The  plot  on  North  Tenth  Street  was  of  irregular  size.  At  one  point  it  was 
86  feet  deep,  at  another  132  feet.  It  embraced  the  house  and  lot  of  No.  145  North 
Tenth  Street  to  full  depth  with  the  lots  only  in  the  rear  of  Nos.  139,  141  and  143 
North  Tenth  Street.  The  larger  part  of  the  area  had  been  the  graveyard  of  the 
First  Dutch  Reformed  Church.  The  first  interment  had  been  made  there  in  1809. 
but  the  ground  was  found  to  be  unsuitable  for  burying  purposes  on  account  of  the 
wet  and  clayey  character  of  the  soil,  and  it  was  abandoned,  though  some  families 
continued  to  make  use  of  the  enclosure  until  1857,  when,  from  the  records,  it  ap- 
peared that  614  persons  in  all  had  been  buried  there.  A  few  months  before  the 
College  took  possession  of  the  plot,  most  of  the  bodies  had  been  removed,  although 
in  the  course  of  the  excavations  for  the  foundations  of  the  new  building,  several 
skeletons  were  exhumed  by  the  laborers. 

Adjoining  to  the  south  on  Cherry  Street,  occupying  a  part  of  the  space 
formerly  included  in  the  burying  ground,  stood  the  Aimwell  School,  a  Quaker 
charity  founded  and  supported  by  Ann  Parrish,  a  sister  of  Dr.  Joseph  Parrish,  and 
an  aunt  therefore  of  Edward  Parrish.  She  had  begun  her  benevolent  work  with 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       145 

some  neglected  children  collected  in  the  neighborhood  of  her  father's  house  at  the 
corner  of  Second  Street  and  Pewter  Platter  Alley  (above  Market  Street),  and  a? 
the  undertaking  grew,  she  with  other  Quaker  women  who  had  joined  her,  were 
enabled  to  purchase  in  1825  this  site  on  Cherry  Street  for  the  erection  of  a  build- 
ing for  their  uses.  Here,  this  characteristic  little  Philadelphia  institution,  "the 
pioneer  free  school"  of  the  city,  was  leading  its  existence  most  successfully  at  the 
time  the  College  determined  to  settle  at  its  side. 

The  neighborhood  was  still  the  daily  moving  ground  of  the  well-to-do  and 
influential  part  of  the  population  of  Philadelphia.  Hereabouts  dwelt  many  com- 
fortable if  not  affluent  Quaker  householders.  They  had  filled  Arch  Street  and  had 
pressed  northward  to  Cherry  Street  and  farther  into  Northern  Liberties  and  Spring 


DILLWYN  PARRISH 

Garden,  where  around  their  meeting  houses  at  Fourth  and  Green  Streets,  and  Sixth 
and  Noble  Streets,  they  dwelt  in  the  neat  red  brick  houses  which  were  typical  of 
the  city.  Families  of  other  religious  faiths,  seeking  quiet  respectability,  found  their 
homes  here,  also,  and  to  the  Quaker  heads  of  the  College  it  seemed  meet  that  it 
should  be  located  in  such  surroundings. 

The  chairman  and  treasurer  of  the  general  committee  was  Dillwyn  Parrish, 
the  well  known  Quaker  pharmacist  at  Eighth  and  Arch  Streets,  soon  to  succeed 
Charles  Ellis  as  President  of  the  College.  The  building  committee  was  made  up  of 


146       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Thomas  S.  Wiegand,  Chairman,  Dr.  Robert  Bridges,  Charles  Bullock,  James  T. 
Shinn  and  Charles  Shivers. 

The  lowest  bidder  (an  architect  drew  the  plans),  was  Henry  B.  Cook,  his  price 
being  $25,385.27  for  an  edifice  set  on  the  back  of  the  lot  for  the  use  of  the  College 
and  a  new  house  on  the  narrow  front  of  No.  145  North  Tenth  Street. 

Erection  of  the  New  Building  in  1868 

Ground  was  broken  for  the  building  on  April  22,  1868,  and  the  corner  stone 
laid  in  June,  a  deposit  being  made  in  it  of  "a  glass-stoppered  bottle  containing 
various  printed  documents  and  papers  connected  with  the  College  and  a  copy  of 
the  Public  Ledger."  The  work  was  to  be  completed  before  September,  a  desired 
eventuality,  not  only  because  of  the  opening  of  the  new  school  year  in  October,  but 
also  on  account  of  the  approach  of  the  meeting  date  on  September  8,  of  the  Ameri- 
can Pharmaceutical  Association,  now  come  to  number  more  than  700  members, 
which  was  again  to  convene  in  Philadelphia. 

But  after  the  foundations  were  built  the  city  required  an  increase  in  the  thick- 
ness of  the  walls,  which  increased  the  cost  of  the  brick  work  $2,249.21  and  made 
the  total  cost  of  the  building  $34,650.  Furthermore,  when  the  first  of  September 
arrived  the  walls  were  still  unplastered.  The  meetings  of  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  with  which  an  exhibition  of  drugs,  apparatus  and  other  arti- 
cles connected  with  the  profession  was  combined,  proceeded  with  the  workmen  clat- 
tering over  the  heads  of  the  delegates,  while  the  first  lectures  to  186  matriculants 
were  delivered  amid  scenes  unfavorable  to  the  transmission  and  acquisition  of  learn- 
ing. The  hall  was  opened  with  appropriate  ceremonies  on  October  7,  1868,  although 
the  building  was  not  finished  until  December. 

"No  attempt,"  as  Professor  Remington  has  said,  was  made  "to  secure  archi- 
tectural beauty."  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  March,  1893,  116.)  The  building  afforded 
twice  as  many  square  feet  of  floor  space  as  were  found  in  the  Zane  Street  building. 
The  new  hall  was  only  three  stories  in  height,  while  the  old  had  been  four  stories, 
thus  reducing  the  labor  of  ascent  on  the  part  of  lecturers  and  students.  In  it  were 
found  a  laboratory  with  sky  lights,  an  assembly  room  which  would  also  accommo- 
date the  library,  professors'  rooms,  and  on  the  second  and  third  stories,  two  large 
lecture  auditoriums,  each  measuring  50  by  43  feet,  with  seats  so  arranged  and  ele- 
vated as  to  command  an  unobstructed  view  of  the  specimens,  diagrams  and  other 
illustrations  used  by  the  lecturers.  These  rooms,  said  Professor  Parrish  at  the  time 
when  the  hall  was  opened  for  use,  would  conveniently  seat  all  the  students  of  the 
school  "for  many  years  to  come." 

Moreover,  the  building  was  so  placed  in  the  lot,  with  open  space  on  all  its 
sides,  that  it  could  not  be  darkened,  it  was  believed,  by  surrounding  structures,  and, 
since  it  was  situated  back  from  the  street  the  rooms  were  "remarkably  quiet."  (Ed- 
ward Parrish,  Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1869,  97.)  The  total  cost  of  the  improvement 
($34,650)  was  met  by  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  the  Zane  Street  property  to  Mr. 
Lippincott,  and  by  a  private  subscription,  headed  by  Powers  and  Weightman  for 
$1,000,  and  completed  by  the  retail  druggists  of  the  city  who  were  personally  can- 
vassed by  Professor  Procter  and  other  friends  of  the  College.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar., 
Oct.,  1900,  488.)

Courses  of  Instruction 

The  courses  of  instruction  were  still  given  only  in  the  evening — on  Monday, 
Wednesday  and  Friday  evenings,  from  about  October,  until  the  end  of  February. 
The  school,  as  from  the  first  day,  was  set  to  answer  the  needs  of  apothecaries' 
apprentices ;  the  matriculation  fee  was  but  $2  to  be  paid  to  the  secretary  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  Alfred  B.  Taylor,  at  his  drug  store  at  1015  Chestnut  Street. 


TENTH  STREET  BUILDINGS  OF  THE  COLLEGE— 1868-1892 

The  fee  for  each  course  of  lectures  to  be  paid  to  the  professors  in  charge  was  $10. 
The  graduation  fee  was  $5.  Diplomas  were  given  only  to  persons  of  "good  moral 
character"  of  the  age  of  at  least  twenty-one  years.  They  must  have  attended  two 
courses  of  each  of  the  lectures  delivered  in  the  College,  or  one  course  in  the  Col- 
lege and  "one  course  in  some  other  reputable  college  of  pharmacy"  or  medical 
school  in  which  the  same  branches  might  be  taught.  They  also  must  have  "served 
out  an  apprenticeship  of  at  least  four  years  with  a  person  or  persons  qualified  to 
conduct  the  drug  or  apothecary  business."  After  the  candidate  passed  an  examina- 
tion before  the  professors,  following  the  presentation  of  a  satisfactory  "original

dissertation  or  thesis  upon  some  subject  of  the  materia  medica,  pharmacy,  chem- 
istry or  one  of  the  branches  of  science  immediately  connected  therewith,  which  shall 
be  written  with  neatness  and  accuracy,"  the  Board  of  Trustees  awarded  him  a 
diploma.  After  a  commencement  held  in  Musical  Fund  Hall,  Locust  Street  above 
Eighth,  or  some  other  public  hall  esteemed  suitable  for  the  exercises,  on  which 
occasion  an  address  filled  with  good  counsel  was  delivered,  the  graduate  was  sent 
on  his  way  rejoicing  into  the  ranks  of  practicing  pharmacists. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       149 

Practical  laboratory  instruction  in  the  new  hall  was  made  possible  by  the  col- 
lection of  funds  for  such  use  by  the  alumni  of  the  College,  the  laboratory  being  put 
under  the  direction  of  Professor  Maisch,  and  kept  open  from  nine  in  the  morning 
until  one  in  the  afternoon  every  week  day  during  the  lecture  season.  The  instruc- 
tion comprehended  pharmaceutical  and  chemical  manipulations,  and  analysis.  The 
fee  for  one  month's  daily  practice  was  $15,  for  two  months  $25,  for  all  of  the  five 
months  of  the  season  $55.  The  pharmaceutical  meetings  of  the  College,  now  suc- 
cessfully in  progress  for  some  time,  organized  for  scientific  discussion  apart  from 
the  transactions  of  the  business  of  the  corporation,  were  thrown  open  to  students, 
and  in  this  way  too  their  opportunities  for  the  acquisition  of  practical  knowledge 
were  materially  extended. 

Evolution  of  Pharmacy  Laws 

Proponents  of  the  movements  for  pharmaceutical  reforms  still  were  relying  in 
large  measure  upon  the  power  of  education  and  salutary  example.  Untouched  by 
the  State,  except  when  the  common  law  stepped  in  to  deal  with  them  for  harming 
the  community  by  their  ignorance  or  carelessness,  as  it  would  deal  with  "other 
offenders  against  the  well-being  of  society,"  it  was  a  field  which  invited  the  idealist 
to  new  sermons  and  much  active  endeavor.  The  formation  of  a  national  association 
had  given  fresh  courage  to  those  who  believed  in  the  potency  of  united  action. 
Now,  said  Professor  Procter,  local  associations  for  "mutual  improvement"  should 
be  formed  everywhere.  Before  ''the  continued  voice"  of  a  gathering  representing 
the  trade  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  evils  would  disappear.  "Quackery,  whether 
professional  or  vulgar,  would  quail,  would  shrink  into  the  hands  of  men  quackish 
by  nature,  and  the  profession,  washed  of  its  contamination,  could,  with  clean  hands 
and  clear  accents,  raise  their  voices  against  it,  with  an  effect  on  all  but  the  hope- 
lessly ignorant  that  would  cripple  the  most  fruitful  sources  of  its  present  success." 
(Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1852,  87-8.) 

Quakers  have  been  longrjmdjTotably  indisposed  to  rgcQmmenj[Ltn£-Us.e_Qi  pa.ins 
and  penalties  as  aids  to  moral  order.  Their  rather  well-known  opposition  to  the 
changes^hTcTThave~soTarge  a  part  in  the  counsel  as  well  as  the  practice  of  others 
operated  to  prevent  the  College  from  becoming  the  foremost  leader  in  the  move- 
sary  for  the  guidance  and  control  of  a  service  brought  into  such  close  connection^ 
with  the  common  weal  as  the  drug  business. 

But  at  last,  with  the  passage  of  the  Federal  drug  import  law  of  1848,  a  be- 
ginning had  been  made,  and  there  were  many  at  hand  ready  to  pass  the  other  prob- 
lems incident  to  the  management  of  this  important  business  to  the  various  states. 
If  Congress  could  protect  the  people  from  foreign  impositions,  said  Dr.  Bailey, 
the  examiner  who  was  active  in  rejecting  spurious  and  inferior  drugs  at  New  York, 
the  states  of  the  Union  could  and  would  separately  "protect  themselves  from  domes- 
tic evils"  by  enacting  "stringent  laws"  in  reference  to  the  "purchase  and  sale  of 
medicines  for  home  consumption  similar  to  those  which  have  been  most  effectively 
in  operation  throughout  Europe."  (Ibid.,  July,  1848,  222.)  It  was  now  incumbent 
on  the  several  states,"  said  Dr.  Edwards  who  had  done  yeoman  service  in  securing 
the  passage  of  the  Federal  law,  "to  render  penal  by  special  statute  the  conduct  that 


150       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

endangers  the  life  and  health  of  the  citizens."  (Ibid.,  1849,  p.  164.)  The  influ- 
ence of  the  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy  was  clearly  in  favor  of  legal  regulation 
and  strong  voices  arose  throughout  the  country  demanding  legal  interposition  for 
the  restraint  of  those  manufacturers  and  dealers  who  were  bringing  so  much  dis- 
credit upon  a  business  which  many,  for  so  long,  had  been  endeavoring  to  raise  to  a 
professional  plane.  It  was  remarked  with  plain  truth  that  "in  country  villages. 
East  as  well  as  West,  the  principal  dealers  in  drugs  and  medicines  were  country 
storekeepers  who  knew  as  much  about  bark,  rhubarb  and  opium  as  they  did  about 
algebra  and  conic  sections."  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  July,  1848,  350.) 

"How  is  it  in  this  country  where  the  people  professedly  rule  and  where  legis- 
lation is  so  fashionable,"  said  Professor  Procter  boldly  in  his  valedictory  address 
to  the  graduating  class  of  the  College  of  1852,  "that  nothing  has  been  accomplished  ? 
The  power  of  public  opinion  is  with  us  the  only  force  that  can  be  enlisted  with 
hope  of  success  in  effecting  many  reforms  that  lie  within  the  legitimate  limits  of 
legislative  action.  Each  individual  as  one  of  the  sovereign  people  feels  his  rights 
must  be  respected ;  the  quack  and  the  pretender  assume  this  ground  and  are  ever 
ready  to  oppose  measures  for  the  public  good  that  conflict  with  their  pecuniary  in- 
terest, by  raising  the  cry  of  monopoly,  by  proclaiming  the  doctrine  of  non-inter- 
ference with  competition  and  by  appealing  to  the  political  sensibilities  of  the  legis- 
lators through  their  function  as  voters  of  the  commonwealth.  If  one-half  the 
power  conceded  to  the  Board  of  Health  by  universal  consent  and  manifested 
through  quarantine  and  other  regulations  was  invested  in  a  properly  qualified  phar- 
maceutico-medical  board,  authorized  to  carry  out  the  provisions  of  a  wholesome 
law,  which  law  should  define  the  qualifications  of  those  to  whom  the  practice  of 
pharmacy  is  entrusted,  should  require  an  annual  inspection  of  the  stock  of  apothe- 
caries in  the  manner  of  the  Germans,  and  should  check  the  torrent  of  quackery  by 
requiring  every  inventor  of  a  secret  remedy  to  take  out  a  patent  for  his  nostrum, 
and  deposit  a  certified  copy  of  the  recipe  used  in  making  it  among  the  official  rec- 
ords, so  that  all  may  know  what  they  are  served  with  under  the  name  of  infallible 
specifics — I  say  if  this  was  accomplished,  the  pharmaceutists  of  our  country  would 
soon  rise  in  character  and  education  and  the  stigma  of  a  base  and  degrading  char- 
latanism be  lessened,  if  not  removed." 

~~The  New  York  Legislature  in  1839  had  enacted  a  law  requiring  that  all  prac- 
ticing pharmacists  in  New  York  City  should  be  graduates  of  the  College  of  Phar- 
macy of  the  City  of  New  York,  or  be  in  possession  of  a  diploma  from  some  other 
regularly  constituted  college  of  pharmacy  or  medicine,  or  should  have  "passed  an 
examination  of  the  censors  of  the  medical  society"  of  one  of  the  counties  of  the 
state,  furnishing  such  censors  with  "a  certificate  of  his  qualifications  for  the  busi- 
ness of  an  apothecary,"  which  should  be  shown  to  and  registered  by  the  secretary 
of  the  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy.  (Session  Laws  of  New  York  for  1839, 
57-8.)  But  no  attention  was  paid  to  the  requirement.  Georgia  had  a  law  dating 
from  1825  for  licensing  apothecaries  as  well  as  physicians.  Both  those  intending 
to  practice  "physic  and  surgery,"  and  to  "vend  or  expose  to  sale  any  drugs  or 
medicines"  should  appear  before  a  State  Board  of  Physicians  for  examination. 
(Session  Laws  of  Georgia,  1825,  125-8.)  This  law  was  similarly  inoperative.  It 
was  not  until  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  concerned  itself  about  the 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       151 

matter,  in  an  earnest  way,  beginning  in  1866  with  a  comprehensive  report  on  the 
legal  aspects  of  the  general  problem,  that  effective  measures  came  to  be  adopted. 

Local  pharmaceutical  organizations  were  now  at  hand  in  all  the  principal 
cities  of  the  country,  ready  to  hold-up  the  hands  of  the  national  association,  and  to 
urge  upon  the  various  state  legislatures  salutary  policies.  Many  bills  appeared, 
but  they  were  defeated,  as  in  New  Hampshire,  New  Jersey,  Massachusetts,  Ohio, 
Michigan  and  Illinois — everywhere,  indeed,  except  in  Rhode  Island,  where  there 
was  a  statute  dating  from  1870,  which  was  amended  in  1871.  Elsewhere,  at  the 
time  Philadelphia  took  effective  action  on  the  subject,  there  were  only  local  laws, 
and  these  applied  to  but  two  cities — Baltimore  since  1870  and  Xew  York  since  1871. 

Local  Pharmacy  Laws 

The  College  was  alert  and  prompt  in  giving  its  support  to  a  draft  of  a  law 
for  the  regulation  of  the  practice  of  pharmacy  in  Philadelphia.  It  was  commended 
to  the  attention  of  the  legislature  at  Harrisburg  at  a  meeting  of  the  druggists  of  the 
city  held  on  December  19,  1871.  The  provisions  of  the  proposed  measure  were 
made  to  apply  only  to  Philadelphia,  because  of  a  conviction  that  more  at  the  time 
could  not  be  accomplished.  The  bill  made  its  way  through  both  houses,  and  came 
to  the  Governor  John  W.  Geary,  who  vetoed  it,  on  the  ground,  as  he  said,  that  it 
was  a  special  law  for  one  city,  instead  of  for  the  whole  state,  and  that  it  was  de- 
signed for  the  particular  benefit  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  which 
assumed,  he  alleged,  that  the  graduates  of  no  other  school  had  the  necessary  knowl- 
edge to  compound  and  sell  drugs. 

Governor  Geary  was  replied  to.  It  was  a  law  applying  to  the  city  of  Philadel- 
phia only,  he  was  told,  because  of  the  practical  impossibility  of  making  it  relate 
to  the  whole  state.  In  country  districts  physicians  were  compelled  to  dispense  medi- 
cines themselves,  which  they  carried  to  their  patients  in  their  saddle  bags,  while  the 
proprietary  remedies  were  sold  by  every  country  storekeeper.  The  representatives 
in  the  Legislature  from  parts  of  the  state  living  under  these  conditions,  would  not 
impose  upon  their  constituencies  legal  provisions  which  were  held  to  be  adapted 
only  to  a  large  city.  As  for  the  bill  benefiting  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy nothing  was  said  on  the  point,  except  that  the  institution  was  to  be  author- 
ized to  nominate  ten  persons  from  among  the  skilled  and  competent  pharmacists 
of  the  city  out  of  which  the  Mayor  of  the  city  was  to  choose  an  examining  board  of 
three  men. 

Immediately,  another  bill  so  modified,  it  was  believed,  as  to  meet  the  objections 
of  Governor  Geary,  was  prepared  and  approved  by  the  pharmacists  of  the  city. 
Upon  being  passed  by  the  legislature  it  was  signed  by  Governor  Geary  on  April  4, 
1872. 

The  law  began  with  a  preamble — "Whereas  the  safety  of  the  public  is  endan- 
gered by  want  of  care  in  the  sale  of  poisons,  whether  to  be  used  as  such  for  legiti- 
mate purposes  or  employed  as  medicines  and  dispensed  on  the  prescription  of  phy- 
sicians ;  and  whereas,  the  power  of  physicians  to  overcome  disease  depends  greatly 
on  their  ability  to  obtain  good  and  unadulterated  drugs  and  skilfully  prepared  medi- 
cines ;  and  whereas  the  class  of  persons  to  which  the  preparation  and  sale  of  drugs, 


152       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

medicines  and  poisons  properly  belong,  known  as  apothecaries,  chemists,  and  drug- 
gists or  pharmacists,  should  possess  a  practical  knowledge  of  the  business  and  sci- 
ence of  pharmacy  in  all  its  relations"  it  was  enacted  : 

"1.  That  hereafter  in  the  City  of  Philadelphia  no  one  could  engage  in  the  business  of 
compounding  and  dispensing  medicines  on  the  prescriptions  of  physicians  or  sell  at  retail 
any  drugs,  chemicals,  poisons  or  medicines  without  a  written  certificate  declaring  him  to  be 
'duly  competent  and  qualified  to  do  so,"  obtained  from  'The  Pharmaceutical  Examining 
Board'  composed  of  five  persons,  appointed  by  the  Mayor  in  the  City  of  Philadelphia  for  a 
term  of  three  years.  All  retail  apothecaries  must  register  with  this  board  within  thirty  days, 
pay  a  fee  of  $5,  submit  to  an  examination  and  receive,  after  satisfying  the  examiners,  a  cer- 
tificate of  competency.  Exceptions  were  made  for  graduates  of  competent  schools  of  phar- 
macy and  for  those  who  were  already  engaged  in  the  business  at  the  date  of  the  passage  of 
the  law.  It  would  not  be  retroactive.  Suitable  penalties  were  provided  to  be  imposed  upon 
those  who  should  act  without  complying  with  the  terms  of  the  law. 

"2.  Druggists  should  not  employ  assistants  in  the  compounding  of  medicines  unless  they 
should  be  graduates  in  pharmacy,  or  unless  they  have  served  an  apprenticeship  of  at  least 
two  years  in  a  store  where  medicines  are  compounded  and  dispensed,  or  have  taken  at  least 
one  full  course  of  lectures  on  chemistry,  materia  medica  and  pharmacy.  No  proprietor  of  a 
store  should  leave  it  in  charge  of  any  but  a  'qualified  assistant,'  i.  e.,  a  graduate  in  pharmacy 
or  a  person  holding  a  certificate  from  the  Examining  Board. 

"3.  Penalties  were  provided  for  the  adulteration  of  drugs. 

"4.  Provisions  specifically  excepted  from  the  scope  of  the  law  physicians  who  com- 
pounded and  administered  their  own  medicines  and  dealers  in  proprietary  remedies." 

The  editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  regarded  this  as  the  "best 
pharmaceutical  law  which  had  yet  been  passed  in  the  United  States,  inferior  only 
to  the  one  which  Governor  Geary  had  vetoed  on  February  19." 

1"rue  the  nomination  of  candidates  had  been  taken  away  from  the  College  and 
vested  in  the  Mayor  of  Philadelphia,  who  could  not  be  expected  to  know  about 
such  a  subject,  but  this  officer,  at  the  time  William  S.  Stokley,  immediately  re- 
quested the  College  to  name  ten  persons  from  whom  to  make  his  selections.  This 
was  done  at  once  and  five  of  the  number — James  N.  Marks,  Charles  L.  Eberle, 
James  T.  Shinn,  Edward  Parrish  and  Robert  England  were  appointed  on  April 
24,  1872,  without  partisan  influence,  and  were  soon  installed  for  the  performance 
of  their  new  and  important  duties  in  an  office  at  723  Arch  Street,  where  registration 
began  on  May  20,  1872.  The  first  examination  of  clerks  for  certificates  of  com- 
petency was  held  in  the  June  following. 

During  the  first  year  the  board  held  fifty  meetings.  It  received  504  applica- 
tions for  registration,  492  being  approved :  250  clerks  appeared  for  examination ; 
185  of  the  applicants  were  granted  certificates  while  65  were  rejected  as  incom- 
petent to  be  left  in  charge  of  a  store.  Ten  persons,  not  graduates  in  pharmacy,  who 
wished  to  open  retail  drug  stores  subsequent  to  the  date  of  the  passage  of  the  law 
presented  themselves  for  examination ;  five  were  rejected  as  not  possessing  the 
requisite  qualification.  The  Board  complained  that  the  fees  were  barely  sufficient 
to  meet  its  expenses,  and  too  little  could  be  done  in  conducting  prosecutions.  Yet 
in  time,  it  said  the  act  must  "confine  responsible  business  to  properly  educated  phar- 
macists, and  materially  lessen  the  risk  of  accident."  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  February, 
1873,  84.) 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       153 

In  the  same  year,  1872,  the  Baltimore  pharmacy  act  of  1870  was  repealed  and 
a  better  one  enacted  in  its  place,  a  new  and  better  law  was  passed  by  the  New 
York  State  Legislature  for  New  York  City,  and  a  law  came  into  force  in  San 
Francisco.  Thus,  in  1872,  there  were  legal  provisions  affecting  the  practice  of 
pharmacy  only  for  Khode  Island  and  for  four  cities — New  York,  Philadelphia,  Bal- 
timore and  San  Francisco.  (Ibid.,  June,  1872,  283.)  But  a  beginning  had  been 
made.  Bills  were  now  pending  in  many  legislatures.  Other  states  and  cities  soon 
would  follow  the  pioneers,  developing  the  system  of  control,  until,  in  a  short  while, 
few  could  comprehend  how  the  policy  of  "freedom  of  trade,"  as  it  had  been  called, 
with  reference  to  a  business  of  this  kind,  ever  could  have  met  with  public  acquies- 
cence and  professional  endorsement.

Mater,  rendering  her  singularly  useful  service.  The  annual  meeting  of  the  College  of  March 
30,  1896,  upon  the  announcement  of  his  death,  deferred  business  and  adjourned  "as  an  ex- 
pression of  profound  sorrow  and  as  a  tribute  of  respect." 

Fiftieth  Anniversary  of  the  College 

The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  completed  fifty  years  of  its  history 
on  February  23,  1871.  The  occasion  was  celebrated;  William  C.  Bakes,  James  T. 
Shinn  and  Thomas  S.  Wiegand  were  appointed  members  of  a  committee  to  take 
the  necessary  measures  for  a  suitable  commemoration  of  the  event.  A  large  num- 
ber of  guests  were  invited  to  the  hall  of  the  College  for  the  evening  of  the  Semi- 
centennial Anniversary.  Prominent  among  these  were  Professor  Joseph  Leidy  and 
Dr.  R.  E.  Rogers  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  Professor  Samuel  D.  Gross 
of  Jefferson  Medical  College,  and  a  number  of  scientific  men  from  Baltimore,  New 
York  and  other  cities.  Set  about  the  room  on  tables  were  "a  number  of  objects 
interesting  for  their  antiquity,"  contrasted  with  a  display  of  "the  best  chemicals" 
of  the  day  from  the  laboratory  of  Rosengarten  and  Sons. 

President  Dillwyn  Parrish,  after  calling  the  meeting  to  order,  asked  the  ven- 
erable Peter  Williamson  to  take  the  chair  in  recognition  of  the  fact  that  he  had  been 
present  at  and  acted  as  secretary  of  the  body  of  druggists  and  apothecaries  who 
had  instituted  the  College  in  Carpenter's  Hall  on  February  23,  1821. 

Charles  Bullock,  secretary  of  the  College,  read  the  minutes  of  the  first  meeting 
of  the  College. 

James  T.  Shinn  read  an  historical  "Memoir  of  the  College,"  prepared  by 
Samuel  F.  Troth,  who  was  unable  to  be  present. 

Addresses  were  made  by  Dr.  R.  E.  Rogers,  Professor  Joseph  Leidy,  Professor 
S.  D.  Gross,  Professor  Edward  Parrish,  and  Thomas  S.  Wiegand,  who  presented 
Professor  William  Procter,  Jr.,  with  a  gold  watch  as  a  testimonial  of  gratitude  to 
him  for  his  untiring  labor  in  connection  with  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy, 
Professor  J.  Paris  Moore,  of  Baltimore,  and  others.  The  meeting  then  adjourned 
to  the  lower  hall  "where  an  ample  collation  was  provided  for  the  company,"  and 
"So  passed  the  Fiftieth  Anniversary  of  our  College;  may  the  second  witness  even 
greater  evidences  of  the  progress  and  usefulness  of  our  Alma  Mater."  (Amer. 
Jour.  Phar.,  March,  1871,  130-4.) 

Elixirs  and  Tablets 

The  sixties  and  seventies  marked  the  beginning  of  the  commercial  manufac- 
ture of  elixirs  and  tablets.  As  to  the  modern  elixir,  which  is  essentially  of  Amer- 
ican origin,  King's  American  Dispensatory  (1898,  685)  states  that: 

"In  1859  Alfred  B.  Taylor,  of  Philadelphia,  published  in  the  American  Journal  of  Phar- 
macy a  formula  for  a  sweetened  'Elixir  of  Calisaya.'  The  Druggist's  Circular  of  the  same 
year  states  that  no  previous  formula  had  been  published.  Immediately  manufacturers  of 
pharmaceutical  preparations  threw  lines  of  sweetened  elixirs  on  the  market.  These  were 
really  cordials.  In  1870  to  1874,  the  elixir  mania  was  at  its  height.  In  1871,  Prof.  J.  Paris 
Moore,  M.D.,  representing  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  on  'Unofficial  Prepara- 
tions,' included  formulae  for  several  of  these  popular  mixtures.  In  1872,  Prof.  C.  Lewis 
Diehl  read  a  paper  on  the  elixir  subject  before  the  Louisville  College  of  Pharmacy,  which 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       155 

was  published  generally.  The  agitation  on  elixirs  was  continued  in  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  but  not,  however,  until  a  few  had  received  recognition  in  the  U.  S.  P. 
The  American  Elixir  is  a  cordial  made  of  sugar,  spirit,  flavor  and  drugs.  It  is  not  as  dis- 
agreeable as  the  European  Elixir  (which  is  free  from  sugar),  and  in  that  regard  may  be 
entitled  to  preference." 

While  it  is  true  that  elixirs  have  their  limitations  as  therapeutic  agents,  they 
have,  also,  important  possibilities  of  usefulness,  and  elixirs  are  manufactured  in 
America  today  in  enormous  quantities.  Among  the  more  important  elixirs  have 
been  those  of  the  digestive  ferments,  in  the  development  of  the  manufacture  of 
which,  together  with  the  manufacture  of  ferment  products  generally,  Benjamin  T. 
Fairchild  (and  his  brother  Samuel  W.  Fairchild),  has  been  most  prominent,  manu- 
facturing preparations  of  unusual  therapeutic  excellence. 

The  tablet  is  of  English  origin,  but  it  has  had  its  greatest  development  in  this 
country.

156       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 


As  Lyman  F.  Kebler  has  stated  (Journ.  A.  Ph.  A.,  1914,  822)  :  "There  is  no 
question  that  the  moulding  of  medicaments  was  in  vogue  many  years  before  Wil- 
liam Brockedon  was  granted  English  Patent  No.  9977,  December  8,  1843,  under 
the  title  of  'Shaping  Pills,  Lozenges  and  Black  Lead  by  Pressure  in  Dies,'  and  it  is 
equally  certain  that  this  invention  was  the  beginning  of  a  great  industry.  .  .  .  Com- 
pressed tablets  were  commercially  imported  into  this  country  in  1854,  by  E.  Mil- 
hau,  of  New  York,  and  Brockedon's  goods  were  imported  by  Frederick  Brown 
about  1860.  .  .  .  The  manufacture  of  'compressed  pills'  (tablets)  in  the  United  States 
was  apparently  begun  by  Jacob  Dunton,  a  wholesale  druggist  in  Philadelphia.  He 
was  graduated  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1855."  Dunton's  first 


JACOB  DUNTON 

experiments  were  made  in  1863-1864.  His  first  machine  was  built  in  1864,  but  his 
products  were  not  marketed  until  the  fall  of  1869.  He  secured  a  process-patent 
for  the  preparation  of  materials  to  be  used  in  the  manufacture  of  tablets  in  1875, 
and  a  patent  for  a  machine  for  compressing  tablets  in  1876.  Dunton  was  followed 
by  John  Wyeth  and  Brother,  who  constructed  (1872)  a  rotary  tablet  machine, 
and  originated  compressed  hypodermic  tablets,  compressed  tablet  triturates,  and 
compressed  medicinal  lozenges.  "Prior  to  1877,"  states  John  Wyeth  and  Brother, 
Inc.,  "the  formulas  that  were  sold  in  tablet  form  were  very  few.  They  consisted 
of  simple  chemicals  principally,  such  as  potassium  chlorate,  ammonium  chloride, 
etc.,  and  after  1877,  combinations  followed.  After  1880,  tablets  having  become 
quite  popular,  others  entered  into  the  manufacture  of  them,  and  various  machines 
were  invented  and  improved  and  are  known  as  single  and  multiple  die  machines 
with  shoe-feeding  devices ;  also  different  styles  of  rotary  machines  have  been  made 
since  then."  John  Wyeth,  the  then  president  of  the  Wyeth  Company,  was  a  gradu- 
ate of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  class  of  1854. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       157 

Since  then,  the  compressed  tablet  industry  has  developed  by  leaps  and  bounds 
and  the  making  of  tablets  has  become  universal.  From  1869  to  1876,  Dunton  made 
only  between  two  million  and  three  million  tablets ;  today  the  laboratories  of  this 
country  compress  millions  of  tablets  daily. 

Kebler  states,  also,  that : 

"Tablet  making  in  Germany  seems  to  have  had  its  beginning  in  1872  when  Rosenthal  of 
Erlangen  described  his  tablet  compressor,  and  the  tablet  became  a  recognized  form  of 
medication  in  Germany,  but  the  home  industry  did  not  seem  to  keep  pace  with  that  of  other 
countries,  as  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  English  goods  made  such  an  impression  upon  the 
German  public  that  manufacturers  in  Germany  resorted  to  the  scheme  of  using  English  labels 
to  promote  the  sale  of  their  goods.  The  tablet  industry,  like  the  coal  tar  industry,  had  its 
origin  in  England.  Germany  having  absorbed  the  greater  part  of  the  coal-tar  industry,  was 
reaching  out  for  the  tablet  business,  but  not  with  very  satisfactory  results.  Conditions  in 
Germany  were  apparently  not  propitious  for  the  best  expansion  of  the  industry,  but  at  any 
rate,  the  center  of  activity  was  transferred  to  the  United  States,  which  country  has  held  the 
supremacy  for  the  last  quarter  of  the  century." 


With  reference  to  the  moulded  tablet  triturate,  Kebler  states  that : 
"Dr.  Robert  M.  Fuller,  of  Schenectady,  N.  Y.,  is  undoubtedly  the  originator  (in  1861) 
of  tablet  triturates  (moulded  tablets),  and  the  moving  spirit  in  placing  the  industry  on  a  sub- 
stantial basis.  .  .  .  Compressed  tablets  and  tablet  triturates,  from  which  all  other  varieties 
originated,  have  had  different  lines  of  evolution.  In  point  of  time,  however,  the  improvements 
proceeded  almost  simultaneously.  Tablet  triturates  are  either  compressed  or  moulded. 
Their  upper  and  lower  surfaces  are  flat.  In  the  case  of  compressed  tablets,  the  upper  and 
lower  surfaces  may  be  convex  or  flat.  The  three  workers  who  stand  out  in  the  early  his- 
tory of  the  industry  are  Brockedon,  Dunton  and  Fuller." 


158       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

In  this  connection,  it  is  interesting  to  add  the  following  information  from 
Horatio  N.  Fraser,  of  New  York  : 

"Shortly  after  I  became  the  manager  of  the  drug  and  dispensing  department  of  Caswell, 
Hazard  &  Co.,  of  New  York,  in  1876,  Dr.  Fuller  sent  for  me  and  told  me  of  his  idea  of 
tablet  triturates  which  he  had  been  working  on  for  years. 

"Dr.  Fuller  was  neither  a  manufacturer  nor  a  business  man;  he  was  left  a  comfortable 
fortune  by  his  father  and  while  he  carefully  conserved  what  he  had,  he  did  not  care  for  a 
larger  income.  At  the  time  he  conceived  the  idea  of  tablet  triturates  he  lived  on  42nd  Street, 
New  York  City.  When  he  retired  from  his  practice  and  hospital  work  he  went  back  to 
the  old  homestead  in  Schenectady.  His  idea  of  the  tablet  triturate  was  to  unite  the  allopathic 
and  homeopathic  professions. 

"When  I  first  met  Dr.  Fuller,  in  1876,  and  he  explained  his  idea,  it  lacked  the  addition 
of  those  parts  which  were  necessary  for  its  completion  in  a  form  to  put  it  before  the 
profession  and  trade. 

"As  soon  as  he  showed  me  what  he  had  done,  it  occurred  to  me  that  here  was  the  chance 
which  would  make  a  name  and  income  for  the  successful  development  of  the  tablet  triturate. 
The  process  at  first  was  slow,  but  after  a  time  rapid,  with  the  result  noted  by  Kebler."

HORATIO  N.  FRASER 

To  Horatio  N.  Fraser,  a  graduate  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy, 
class  of  1872,  and  a  member  of  the  present  Board  of  Trustees,  belongs  the  credit, 
therefore,  of  first  manufacturing  tablet  triturates  in  such  a  manner  as  to  make  their 
manufacture  commercially  practicable  and  to  spread  their  use  among  physicians 
and  pharmacists,  and  in  this  way  another  new  industry  was  founded.

CHAPTER  VI 
PROGRESS  AND  ACHIEVEMENTS  OF  THE  PAST  FIFTY  YEARS 

The  completion  of  a  half  century  in  the  existence  of  the  College  in  1871 
brought  it  to  the  verge  of  a  new  era — when  the  school,  which  at  first  had  been  only 
an  incident  of  its  life,  was  to  become  its  dominating  interest.  The  College  now 
became  the  school.  Its  growth  was  the  pride  of  the  corporate  body  expressing  itself 
through  its  Board  of  Trustees.  Other  interests  with  which  the  associated  apothe- 
caries had  started  out  were  gradually  and  in  large  degree  transferred  to  other 
agencies.  The  pre-eminent  service  to  the  community  left  for  the  College  to  per- 
form, was  the  development  of  its  courses  of  instruction,  the  improvement  of  its 
pedagogical  standards,  the  extension  of  its  opportunities  to  an  increasing  number 
of  students ;  and  in  all  these  directions,  its  duty  to  the  city,  the  state,  to  other  states 
and  to  foreign  countries,  which  had  sent  their  young  men  hither  to  be  fitted  for 
the  ranks  of  the  pharmaceutical  profession,  had  been  discharged  faithfully  and  with 
growing  distinction. 

Remington 

The  dominant  figure  in  the  College  in  the  second  half  of  the  century,  which 
it  has  recently  completed,  was  Joseph  P.  Remington.  He  was,  for  much  of  this  time, 
the  foremost  figure  of  American  Pharmacy.  The  year  1871  found  him  an  assistant 
in  the  school,  a  speaker  often  heard  in  the  meetings  of  the  College  and  a  frequent 
contributor  to  the  pages  of  the  Journal.  His  activities  continued  almost  until  his 
death  on  the  New  Year's  Day  of  1918,  so  that  his  work  was  practically  coterminous 
with  the  fifty-year  period  now  under  review. 

Remington  was  born  in  1847.  He  was  of  Quaker  ancestry,  of  that  people  who 
have  had  so  intimately  to  do  with  the  history  of  the  College  and  with  pharmacy 
generally  in  Philadelphia.  As  a  boy  he  had  come  of  forebears  who  were  physicians 
and  apothecaries  and  he  was  yet  but  sixteen  when  he  entered  the  store  of  Charles 
Ellis,  at  the  time  the  president  of  the  College,  as  an  apprentice.  When  in  this 
excellent  shop,  with  a  history  which  carried  it  back  in  direct  line  to  the  famous  old 
"Marshall  Drug  Store,"  young  Remington  attended  the  lectures  of  Thomas,  Par- 
rish,  Procter  and  Bridges  in  the  College  and  received  the  degree  of  graduate  in 
pharmacy  in  1866. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  following  year,  he  entered  the  service  of  Dr.  Edward 
R.  Squibb,  of  Brooklyn,  being  for  nearly  three  years  in  the  closest  contact  with 
that  eminent  manufacturing  pharmacist,  in  his  laboratories  and  in  his  home,  with 
daily  opportunities  for  advancement  in  scientific  knowledge  and  technical  skill. 
Returning  to  Philadelphia,  he  was  for  a  time  in  the  employ  of  Powers  and  Weight- 
man,  but  in  1872  he  determined  to  open  a  retail  apothecary  shop  at  the  northeast 
corner  of  Thirteenth  and  Walnut  Streets,  where  he  continued  in  business  for  thir- 
teen years.  Already,  in  1871,  he  was  assisting  Parrish  as  a  teacher  in  pharmacy  in 
the  College.  Upon  the  death  of  Parrish  in  1872,  he  retained  this  position  under 
Procter,  who  had  returned  to  the  chair,  and  at  Procter's  death  in  1874,  he  was 


160       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

elected  to  the  professorship  which  these  men  had  so  much  honored  by  occupying. 
("Memoir  of  Professor  Joseph  Price  Remington,"  C.  H.  LaWall,  Amer.  Jour. 
P/ior,  1918,  65.) 

'Like  Procter  and  Parrish,  Remington  was  largely  self-taught,  because  there 
were  no  schools  for  the  acquisition  of  this  branch  of  learning.  Procter  had  been 
the  first  to  raise  pharmacy  in  this  country  to  a  subject  for  a  special  teaching  chair. 
Parrish  had  made  the  need  of  practical  pharmaceutical  education  the  reason  for  the 
establishment  of  his  well-known  School  of  Practical  Pharmacy  at  Ninth  and  Chest- 
nut Streets,  and  later  at  Eighth  and  Arch  Streets,  and  had  still  later,  brought  his 


JOSEPH  P.  REMINGTON 

abilities  to  bear  upon  the  working-out  of  this  pedagogical  problem  of  the  College. 
Both  had  conducted  retail  drug  stores  while  they  taught,  so  too  did  Remington, 
and  carried  their  practical  experience  into  the  class  room  for  the  advantage  of 
youths  looking  forward  to  a  similar  career. 

It  soon  became  apparent  that  Remington  possessed  executive  ability  of  an 
unusually  high  order.  This  was  shown  by  his  progress  into  a  leading  position  in 
the  direction  of  the  school,  and  in  the  progress  made  by  the  school  after  he  came 
to  this  position  of  leadership.  With  an  impressive  and  courtly  presence,  a  geniality 
in  his  address  and  conversation,  and  a  fluent  and  an  easy  manner  on  the  platform 
and  in  debate,  he  soon  attracted  notice  to  himself  and  won  universal  respect.

Sadtler 

The  next  most  significant  change  in  the  Faculty  followed  upon  the  retirement 
of  Bridges  in  1879  as  professor  of  chemistry,  the  chair  held  successively  by  Troost, 
\Yood,  Bache  and  Fisher.  By  his  unselfish  and  kindly  ways,  his  loyalty  to  duty,  the 
simplicity  of  his  life,  his  painstaking  and  faithful  teachings,  Bridges  had  earned  the 
respect  of  all  who  knew  him.  He  was  beloved  by  his  students ;  during  his  long 
term  of  service  he  had  lectured  to  more  than  5,000.  "Without  being  ready  in  de- 
bate, or  at  all  eloquent  in  speech,  he  was  an  admirable  and  efficient  teacher,  as  thou- 


SAMUEL  P.   SADTLER 

sands  of  his  pupils  will  testify.  They  will  teach  his  lessons  and  thus  long  continue 
and  expand  the  beneficent  influence  of  his  instruction  and  example."  (W.  S.  W. 
Ruschenberger,  A  liter.  Jour.  Phar.,  May,  1884.)  His  health  was  impaired  and  the 
prospect  of  increased  labor  which  impended  induced  him  to  ask  Professor  Samuel 
P.  Sadtler,  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  to  assist  him  in  the  conduct  of  his 
course  in  1878.  Sadtler  did  so,  and  the  following  year  was  elected  to  the  chair, 
to  occupy  it  for  thirty-seven  years,  as  long  as  it  had  been  held  by  Bridges,  who 
now  became  professor  emeritus,  which  was  his  rank  at  the  time  of  his  death  in 
1882.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  May,  1884.) 

Samuel  P.  Sadtler  was  born  in  Schuylkill  County,  Pa.,  in  1847,  the  same  year, 
therefore,  as  Remington.     His  father  was  a  Lutheran  minister  who  served  for  a 


162       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

time  as  President  of  Muhlenberg  College  at  Allentown.  Young  Sadtler  was  a 
student  at  Pennsylvania  College  at  Gettysburg  when  General  Lee  invaded  Penn- 
sylvania and  his  course  was  interrupted  by  the  historic  clash  at  arms  between  the 
Northern  and  Southern  forces  at  that  place.  Resuming  his  studies  he  took  his  de- 
gree. Choosing  to  be  a  chemist,  he  for  a  time  attended  lectures  and  worked  in  the 
laboratories  at  Lehigh  and  Harvard  universities,  which  led  him  later  to  Goettingen 
in  Germany,  then,  because  of  Woehler's  distinction  as  a  teacher,  a  widely  esteemed 
scientific  center.  In  1871  he  received  his  doctor  of  philosophy  degree  at  that  uni- 
versity, which  had  numbered  in  its  student-body  Bismarck,  who  had  just  com- 
pleted the  victory  over  Louis  Napoleon  and  had  brought  the  separate  German  states 
together  into  a  unified  German  empire,  and  such  Americans  as  George  Bancroft, 
Edward  Everett,  John  Lothrop  Motley  and  Henry  W.  Longfellow.  Returning 
home,  Sadtler  became  professor  of  chemistry  and  physics  at  the  college  at  Gettys- 
burg, from  which,  in  1874,  he  came  to  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  as  professor 
of  general  and  organic  chemistry,  a  place  which  he  held  for  seventeen  years,  or  until 
1891.  It  was  1879,  as  we  have  seen,  while  in  the  midst  of  his  term  of  service  at 
the  University,  that  he  joined  the  teaching  staff  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  occupying  the  two  chairs  concurrently.  (Ainer.  Jour.  Phar.,  July,  1816, 
289.) 


FIRST  LABORATORY  OF  THE  COLLEGE— 1870 

Improvements  in  Instruction 

In  the  College  various  improvements  in  the  methods  of  imparting  instruction 
had  been  introduced.  Oral  examinations  had  given  way  to  written  ones.  The  first 
laboratory  for  practical  work  in  chemistry  and  pharmacy,  established  by  the  Alumni 
Association,  was  put  in  charge  of  Professor  Maisch  in  October,  1870. 

In  1872  the  laboratory  was  turned  over  to  the  College  by  the  Alumni 
Association.  In  1876  its  two  divisions  of  work  were  partially  segregated.  Pro- 
fessor Maisch  confined  his  instruction  to  the  chemical  laboratory  work,  and 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       163 

Professor  Remington  gave  a  course  in  pharmaceutical  manipulations,  and  in  1878 
assumed  full  charge  of  the  pharmaceutical  laboratory  or  laboratory  of  operative 
pharmacy.  Among  the  subjects  of  the  practical  exercises  he  taught  were  the  use 
of  the  specific  gravity  bottle,  filtration,  percolation,  clarification  and  precipitation. 
Students  were  shown  how  to  make  spirit  of  nitrous  ether,  syrup  of  ferrous  iodide, 
citrate  of  iron,  suppositories,  tinctures,  pills,  ointments,  medicated  waters,  and 
other  pharmaceutical  preparations. 

A  forward  step  of  great  importance  was  taken  in  1878  when  the  courses  of  the 
College  were  graded.  Junior  and  senior  students  were  separated  into  classes  with 
six  lecture  hours  per  week  for  each,  the  same  as  for  the  undivided  class  theretofore. 
Although  doubling  the  work  of  the  professors,  the  instruction  was  vastly  increased 
in  value — it  grew  "in  depth,  character  and  extent."  "The  effect,"  said  Professor 
Remington  in  reviewing  that  period  of  the  history  of  the  College,  was  "immediate 
and  of  great  benefit."  (Arner.  Jour.  Phar.,  Jan.,  1885.) 

Women  Graduates  in  Pharmacy 

The  founding  of  the  College  may  be  regarded  as  marking  the  date  of  the  entry 
of  American  women  into  pharmacy,  for,  as  elsewhere  stated,  probably  the  first 
woman  pharmacist  in  this  country  was  Elizabeth  Marshall  (1768-1836),  daughter 
of  the  first  president  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 

But  half  a  century  elapsed  after  the  founding  of  the  College  before  women  be- 
gan to  regularly  matriculate  as  students.  The  first  woman  to  attend  instruction  was 
Clara  Marshall  in  1876;  for  many  years  she  was  dean  of  the  Woman's  Medical 
College  of  Philadelphia. 

The  first  woman  graduate  of  the  College  was-Susan  Hayhurst  (1820-1909), 
who  received  her  degree  in  1883,  and  who  later  had  charge  of  the  pharmaceutical 
department  of  the  Woman's  Hospital  of  Philadelphia.  She  was  of  Quaker  parent- 
age. She  is  said  to  have  been  the  first  regularly  graduated  woman  pharmacist  who 
took  up  the  drug  business  in  a  practical  way  after  graduation. 

Grace  Lee  Babb  was  the  second  woman  graduate  (class  of  1884)  ;  she  was 
for  a  time  assistant  demonstrator  in  chemistry  at  the  Woman's  Medical  College,  and 
afterward  married  Dr.  Griffith  E.  Abbot. 

From  then  almost  without  exception  each  succeeding  class  graduated  one  or 
more  women,  as,  in  keeping  with  the  entrance  of  women  into  other  branches  of  in- 
dustry, more  and  more  women  have  taken  up  the  study  and  practice  of  pharmacy. 
The  women  graduates  of  the  College  have  shown  their  ability  to  master  the  details 
of  this  branch  of  learning  as  well  as  their  adaptability  and  suitability  to  the  practice 
of  the  pharmaceutical  art.  Their  proficiency  has  been  demonstrated  at  more  than 
one  annual  commencement,  when  they  have  been  awarded  the  highest,  sometimes 
the  greatest  number  of  prizes  given  by  the  College,  its  friends  and  faculty  for  ex- 
cellence in  the  respective  branches  taught.  Of  the  many  capable  women  who  have 
graduated,  the  great  majority  have  made  a  practical  success  of  the  undertakings 
into  which  they  embarked.  They  have  more  than  justified  the  faith  of  those  who 


164       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

favored  the  entrance  of  women  into  pharmacy.  Women  graduates  of  the  College 
have  not  only  gone  into  the  retail  and  wholesale  drug  business,  but  many  are  serv- 
ing as  pharmacists  in  hospitals,  some  have  studied  and  are  practicing  medicine, 
others  have  engaged  in  teaching  in  pharmaceutical  and  medical  institutions,  still 
others  are  serving  as  clinical  technicians,  chemists,  in  manufacturing  pharmacy, 
and  in  sanitation  work.  A  considerable  proportion  of  them  have  been  actively  iden- 
tified with  pharmaceutical  association  work  of  local,  state  and  national  scope,  some- 
times filling  offices  in  these  organizations.  Among  these  may  be  mentioned:  Mrs. 


SUSAN  HAYHURST

Carrie  Emily  Howard,  '90;  Mrs.  M.  O.  Miner,  '90,  vice-president  of  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1895;  Jean  Gordon,  '91,  hospital  pharmacist  in  Chi- 
cago ;  Mae  Reynolds,  '92 ;  Mae  Thompson  Harders,  '93 ;  Clara  Sprissler,  '93  and 
Susannah  Garrigues  Haydock,  '93 ;  Florence  Yaple,  '95,  for  many  years  business 
manager  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy;  Sarah  Lusan  Naly,  '95,  Chief 
Pharmacist,  Woman's  Hospital,  Philadelphia ;  Bertha  Leon  DeGraffe,  '96,  later 
wife  of  Josiah  C.  Peacock,  '91,  a  trustee  of  the  College;  Katherine  Walker  Har- 
bord,  '00,  of  Salem,  Oregon ;  Millicent  S.  Renshaw,  '04,  later  wife  of  Charles  H. 
LaWall,  '93,  Professor  of  Theory  and  Practice  of  Pharmacy  and  Dean  of  the 
Faculty.

Brown 

Albert  P.  Brown,  a  graduate  of  the  College,  a  retail  druggist  of  Camden,  and 
prominent  in  the  pharmaceutical  ranks  of  New  Jersey,  was  appointed  director  of  a 
new  optional  laboratory  course  in  microscopy  established  by  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation in  1882.  He  continued  to  be  an  instructor  in  this  branch  until  his  death  in 
1892,  when  he  was  succeeded  by  George  M.  Beringer.  In  1894  the  College  assumed 
charge  of  it  as  the  botanical  and  microscopical  laboratory. 

Power 

It  now  became  necessary  to  develop  further  the  practical  side  of  the  teaching 
work  in  chemistry  at  the  College,  and  in  1881  the  laboratory  was  put  in  charge  of 
Frederick  Belding  Power,  a  graduate  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and 
of  the  University  of  Strasburg,  who  was  given  the  rank  of  professor  of  analytical 


FREDERICK  li.  POWER 


chemistry,  the  first  extension  in  the  number  of  professorships  in  the  school  since 
Procter  had  been  elected  to  the  new  chair  of  pharmacy  in  1846.  In  1883  Power 
resigned  to  take  the  chair  of  pharmacy  and  materia  meclica  in  the  University  of 
Wisconsin,  the  beginning  of  a  series  of  promotions  which  have  led  him  to  a  place 


166       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

of  great  distinction  as  a  scientist.  Upon  Power's  departure  for  the  West,  Trimble, 
having  retired  from  active  connection  with  the  retail  drug  business,  became  director 
of  the  chemical  laboratory  and  succeeded  to  the  title  of  professor  of  analytical 
chemistry. 

Trimble 

Sadtler  had  brought  to  the  school  as  his  assistant  Henry  Trimble,  a  young 
scientist  of  Quaker  extraction  who,  after  serving  an  apprenticeship  in  the  drug 
business,  had  graduated  in  1876  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  For 
the  next  two  years  he  was  a  special  student  of  chemistry  at  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania, covering  the  time  Sadtler  was  appointed  to  the  chair  of  chemistry  in  the 


HENRY  TRIMBLE 

College,  and  was  made  the  latter's  lecture  assistant  at  the  University ;  he  was  now 
given  a  similar  position  at  the  College,  a  connection  naturally  to  his  taste  by  reason 
of  his  interest  in  pharmacy.  At  the  time  he  and  his  friend  and  classmate,  C.  W. 
Warrington,  took  over  the  retail  drug  store  of  their  preceptor,  Dr.  S.  Mason  Mc- 
Collin,  at  Fifth  and  Callowhill  Streets.  Trimble  succeeded  Maisch  as  the  editor 
of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy;  but  in  1898  this  most  promising  young 
scientist,  professor  of  analytical  chemistry  in  the  College  for  fifteen  years,  suc- 
cumbed to  tuberculosis.

Erection  of  Additional  Buildings 

In  the  meanwhile,  as  Joseph  P.  Remington  has  pointed  out  (Amer.  Jour. 
Phar.,  March,  1893,  116)  : 

"The  Board  of  Trustees  adopted  the  policy  of  gradually  buying  the  properties  adjoining. 
In  1874,  the  properties  Nos.  139,  141,  143  North  Tenth  Street  were  purchased,  which  secured 
to  the  College  the  full  width  of  the  lots  on  Tenth  Street.  In  1880,  four  properties  on  Elwyn 
Street  were  bought ;  and,  as  the  laboratories  were  growing  very  rapidly,  it  became  necessary, 
in  1881,  to  erect  a  four-story  building  in  the  rear  on  Elwyn  Street.  The  building  furnished 
a  chemical  laboratory  upon  the  first  floor,  a  pharmaceutical  laboratory  upon  the  second 
floor,  a  new  chemical  lecture  room  upon  the  third  floor,  and  an  alumni  room  and  quiz  room 
upon  the  fourth  floor. 

"On  May  31,  1889,  the  Aimwell  School  property  was  purchased,  and  this  addition  made 
the  total  size  of  the  lots  required  by  the  College  as  follows:  70  feet  on  Tenth  Street  and 
172  feet  in  depth  to  Elwyn  Street,  with  the  Aimwell  School  property,  which  has  a  frontage 
on  Cherry  Street  of  54  feet.  The  necessity  of  still  more  room  became  apparent  (the  class  of 
1890  numbering  577)  ;  and,  after  much  careful  consideration,  a  Committee  was  appointed 
to  draw  up  plans  and  specifications  for  a  new  building  on  the  front,  which  would  adequately 
house  the  increasing  collections  of  the  museum  and  library,  and  also  provide  increased  ac- 
commodations for  the  growing  classes.  In  1892,  the  plans  and  specifications  of  the  Com- 
mittee were  adopted  by  the  College,  and  the  erection  of  the  new  front  building,  which  had 
been  talked  about  so  long,  was  assured. 

"In  May,  1892,  the  work  began,  and  it  has  been  continued  actively  until  the  present  time, 
February,  1893.  The  architect  selected  was  John  T.  Windrim,  the  builder  being  Allen  B. 
Rorke.  The  College  Building  Committee,  which  was  entrusted  with  the  work  of  superintend- 
ing the  erection  of  the  buildings,  were  Howard  B.  French,  Chairman ;  Charles  Bullock,  Samuel 
P.  Sadtler,  James  T.  Shinn  and  Joseph  P.  Remington." 

The  ceremonies  attendant  upon  the  opening  of  the  new  building,  which  was 
on  February  22,  1893,  Washington's  Birthday,  and  practically  the  seventy-second 
anniversary  of  the  institution  of  the  College,  were  of  a  simple  but  appropriate 
character.  The  work  had  been  so  far  completed  during  the  summer  of  1892,  that 
the  courses  could  proceed  in  the  fall,  but  the  building  was  not  finished  until  late  in 
the  winter.  The  museum  hall  on  February  22,  1893,  was  attractively  decorated 
with  palms,  flowering  plants  and  flags  in  honor  of  the  occasion.  Many  members  of 
the  College,  alumni,  representatives  of  kindred  institutions  of  learning,  and  guests 
were  present. 

Howard  B.  French,  chairman  of  the  building  committee,  made  a  brief  address 
of  welcome  and  then  introduced  Joseph  P.  Remington,  who  spoke  on  the  subject 
of  "The  New  Building  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  with  a  Brief  His- 
tory of  the  Older  Buildings."  He  said  in  part,  as  follows  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar., 
March,  1893,  117)  : 

"We  have  assembled  this  evening  to  inspect  these  buildings  and  a  short  description  may 
be  of  assistance  to  those  who  are  present.  The  whole  College  building,  if  divided  into  three 
nearly  equal  portions,  as  they  run  from  Tenth  to  Elwyn  Streets,  represent  the  additions 
which  have  been  made.  The  middle  portion,  which  includes  the  remodeled  lecture  rooms, 
is  the  original  building,  and  it  was  erected  in  1868;  the  rear  building,  which  includes  the 
laboratories,  was  built  in  1881  ;  and  the  new  front  building,  just  finished,  completes  the  struc- 
ture. It  will  be  seen  that  about  the  same  length  of  time  elapsed  between  the  erection  of 
the  rear  building  and  the  front  building,  twelve  years.  The  new  building  is  six  stories  high ; 
the  front  being  built  of  Seneca  red  stone  and  Pompeiian  brick ;  large  windows  are  a  promi- 
nent feature,  affording  plenty  of  light  for  the  rooms.  The  first  floor  is  arranged  to  give 


i68       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 


TENTH   STREET  BUILDINGS  OF  THE  COLLEGE— 1892 

accommodations  for  the  library,  Actuary's  office  and  Board  of  Trustees'  room.  The  second 
and  third  floors,  which  are  embraced  in  one  large  room,  are  used  for  the  museum  and  general 
meeting  room.  The  fourth  floor  is  devoted  to  providing  a  room  for  the  Alumni  Association 
and  offices  for  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  and  janitor's  quarters.  The  fifth  floor  will 
be  fitted  up  with  seats  and  desks  for  an  examination  room.  The  sixth  floor  is  used  for  storage. 
The  basement  is  furnished  with  upright  ventilated  lockers  for  the  use  of  the  students.

170       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

"Each  of  the  lecture  rooms  has  been  remodeled,  with  folding-chairs  and  table-desks ; 
the  seats  are  arranged  in  amphitheater- form  and  they  are  a  great  improvement  over  the  old 
benches.  The  side  yard,  which  formerly  connected  the  chemical  laboratory  with  the  front 
building,  has  been  converted  into  an  arcade,  by  enclosing  it  with  a  wall  and  a  glass  roof. 
This  feature  which  is  believed  to  be  new,  furnishes  a  large,  well-heated  and  lighted  space 
in  which  the  students  may  congregate  before  the  lectures. 

"An  additional  building  to  the  north  of  the  laboratories  provides  substantial  additions  to 
both  chemical  and  pharmaceutical  laboratories ;  the  basement  of  the  new  building  being  used 
for  a  boiler  room,  two  large  boilers  furnish  steam  for  heating  the  air  and  driving  a  large  fan, 
which  sends  into  each  room  the  proper  amount  of  heated  air,  being  conveyed  by  a  shaft 
from  the  roof  of  the  building. 

"Fire  escapes  and  rapid  means  of  egress  from  each  room,  in  case  of  fire,  are  provided. 
Every  part  of  the  building  may  be  well  lighted  by  daylight,  or  by  both  electric  light  and  gas 
light  at  night.  With  these  improvements  it  is  believed  that  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy has  the  best  equipment  for  pharmaceutical  instruction  that  is  possible.  The  additions 
and  improvements  have  progressed  as  the  necessity  for  them  was  made  clear." 

Addresses  were  made,  also,  by  Dr.  Horatio  C.  Wood,  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania,  and  Jacob  H.  Redsecker,  a  well-known  pharmacist  of  Lebanon,  Pa. 

Mr.  French  then  formally  turned  over  the  new  building  to  President  Bullock 
who  referred  gratefully  to  the  services  which  had  been  rendered  by  Mr.  French.  He 
had  toiled  "persistently  and  with  telling  effect"  Professor  Remington  had  said 
earlier  in  the  evening.  "Summer  and  winter,  late  and  early,  in  health  and  in  sick- 
ness," he  had  had  constantly  in  view  the  securing  of  "every  advantage  that  could 
possibly  be  gained  for  the  students  and  members  of  the  College."  James  T.  Shinn, 
as  a  member  of  the  building  committee,  also  alluded  to  the  notable  labor  of  Mr. 
French  and  embraced  the  opportunity  to  present  him  with  a  solid  silver  loving  cup 
in  token  of  appreciation  of  the  zeal  and  devotion  as  chairman  of  the  committee  in 
charge  of  the  erection  of  the  new  buildings  in  1892. 

Mr.  French  expressed  his  deep  appreciation  of  the  gift,  after  which  the  audi- 
ence inspected  the  buildings  and  viewed  the  displays  arranged  in  the  different  halls. 
(Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  March,  1893,  113-121;  159-60.) 

Continued  Growth  of  the  College 

On  April  3,  1894,  the  Martindale  Herbarium,  a  noted  and  valuable  collection 
of  many  thousands  of  plants,  was  presented  to  the  College  by  Howard  B.  French 
and  the  Smith,  Kline  and  French  Company. 

The  number  of  students  attending  the  lectures  and  graduating,  year  by  year, 
now  underwent  a  remarkable  increase.  In  1863  the  number  of  matriculants  was 
74,  and  in  1868  was  152;  it  was  237  in  1872;  370  in  1882,  542  in  1884;  and  652  in 
1892.  The  College  had  become  a  national  institution.  Each  year  nearly  all  the 
states  of  the  Union  .were  represented  on  the  student  roll,  while  a  goodly  number 
were  in  attendance  from  foreign  countries.  Only  one-half  of  the  matriculants  were 
residents  of  Philadelphia  and  its  immediate  vicinity. 

Three  Year  Courses 

The  degree  of  graduate  of  pharmacy  was  conferred  upon  183  students  in  1894. 
197  in  1895,  and  221  in  1896. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       171 

But  an  important  new  step  was  being  taken.  The  standards  were  to  be  raised  \ 
for  the  classes  entering  on  and  after  October,  1895.  For  some  time  a  third  year 
optional  course  had  been  offered ;  this  was  not  compulsory.  The  time  was  at  hand, 
said  Professor  Remington,  when  two  years  did  not  suffice  "to  adequately  present 
to  the  mind  of  the  student  the  vast  accumulation  of  facts  which  pharmacy  and  its 
collateral  sciences"  had  come  to  embrace.  "Not  only  must  more  time  be  taken  to 
absorb  the  facts,  but  these,  even  if  perfectly  memorized,  can  never  be  considered 
the  rise  to  the  value  of  actual  knowledge,  unless  sufficient  time  had  been  given  for 
them  to  be  assimilated  and  digested."  The  courses  in  medicine  everywhere  were 
being  extended  from  two  to  four  years ;  pharmacy  owed  it  to  herself  "to  keep  pace 
with  medicine."  Xo  other  institution  engaged  in  this  branch  of  teaching  had  taken 
tliis  radical  forward  step.  In  all  probability  it  would  have  "the  effect  of  cutting 
down  the  size  of  the  classes,"  said  Professor  Remington.  Those,  therefore,  he  re- 
marked "who  measure  success  merely  by  numbers  may  have  an  opportunity  of 
quoting  their  prophecy  that  the  movement  was  premature.  "But  if  the  size  of  the 
class  diminishes,"  he  continued,  "the  College  will  have  the  proud  satisfaction  o 
knowing  that  the  quality  has  been  improved,  and  the  value  of  its  diploma  will  b 
still  further  enhanced." 

Furthermore,  it  was  hoped  to  confer  "a  more  distinctive  and  appropriate  re-  v 
ward  than  the  title  of  graduate,"  which  had  been  written  upon  the  diplomas  of  the 
school  since  the  first  day,  upon  those  who  should  "successfully  complete  the  new 
three  year  course."  The  time  had  come  for  the  College  to  give  an  education  which 
should  "command  respect"  and  a  title  which  would  be  "recognized  by  the  public 
as  equivalent  to  that  offered  by  other  professional  schools  of  no  higher  degree." 
(Joseph  P.  Remington  in  Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  June,  1894,  and  April  and  June,  1895.) 

Hereafter,  graduates,  if  they  had  had  the  "store  experience,"  still  necessary 
as  it  had  been  from  the  beginning,  would  receive  the  degree  of  "Doctor  of  Phar- 
macy (P.  D.)"  Those  who  had  not  had  this  old  "apprenticeship"  training,  who 
were  omitting  it  because  they  were  intending,  perhaps,  to  study  medicine,  or  enter 
manufacturing  laboratories,  for  three  years  attendance  upon  the  courses,  would 
receive  the  degree  of  "Pharmaceutical  Chemist  (P.C.)." 

Meanwhile,  in  September,  1893,  the  College  had  lost  John  M.  Maisch,  afte? 
nearly  thirty  years  of  devoted  service  in  the  lecture  room,  the  laboratory  and  the 
editorial  chair  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy.  He  was  to  have  been  pres- 
ent at  the  important  International  Congress  of  Pharmacists  which  met  in  Chicago 
in  August,  1893,  during  the  progress  of  the  Columbian  Exposition,  where  Pro- 
fessor Remington  was  the  presiding  officer,  but  Maisch's  serious  illness  prevented. 
Michael  Carteighe,  the  President  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great  Britain, 
bore  to  this  country  the  famous  Hanbury  Gold  Medal  which  had  been  awarded  to 
Maisch  for  distinguished  services  in  pharmacognosy  but  as  he  could  not  be  present 
to  receive  it,  Remington  was  deputized  to  present  it,  which  he  did  upon  his  return 
to  Philadelphia.  With  his  passing,  the  College  and  the  sciences  for  which  it  stands 
lost  a  "master  mind."  (Joseph  P.  Remington.) 

In  the  annals  of  pharmacy,  said  M.  I.  Wilbert,  it  would  be  difficult  to  find  a 
name  "that  more  nearly  represents  the  ideal  of  what  a  pharmacist  should  strive  to 
be."  Better  chemists,  better  botanists  there  had  been  in  the  ranks  of  pharmacy,  but 


172       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

few,  indeed,  had  there  been  with  "a  more  perfect  knowledge  of  the  facts  that  are 
needed  in  connection  with  a  proper  understanding  of  the  great  variety  of  substances 
that  come  together  on  the  shelves  of  the  pharmacist."  (Anicr.  Jour,  P/iar.,  Aug., 
1903,351.) 

Remington  succeeded  Maisch  as  Dean  of  the  College.  And  Edson  S.  Bastin 
was  made  professor  of  materia  medica  and  botany  to  succeed  Maisch. 

Bastin,  Lowe,  Kraemer  and  Moerk 

Edson  S.  Bastin  was  a  native  of  Wisconsin.  He  had  had  a  hard  rugged  life 
on  a  pioneer  farm  in  his  youth,  which  was  supplemented  by  service  in  the  Civil 
War.  Coming  back  from  the  battle  fields,  he  graduated  at  the  Chicago  University, 


EDSON  S.  BASTIN 

and  then  studied  divinity,  but  soon  turned  his  attention  to  the  natural  sciences, 
which  sincerely  attracted  him.  An  apothecary  for  a  time  in  Chicago,  his  interest 
and  knowledge  of  botany  procured  him  a  place  as  an  instructor  on  this  subject  in 
the  University  of  Chicago  of  that  city.  He  soon  began  to  lecture  on  the  same  sub- 
ject in  the  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy.  In  1883  he  resigned  his  post  at  the  Uni- 
versity in  order  that  he  might  give  his  entire  time  and  attention  to  the  Chicago  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy,  where  he  had  come  to  hold  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and 
botany.  Here  he  established  a  botanical  and  microscopical  laboratory,  issued  text 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       173 

books  on  botany  which  gained  a  wide  circulation,  and  in  1890.  transferred  his  activ- 
ities to  the  School  of  Pharmacy  of  the  Northwestern  University,  where  he  again 
equipped  and  directed  a  laboratory  for  botanical  study.  He  was  well  and  favorably 
known  as  a  writer,  as  well  as  a  teacher,  when  he  was  called  to  take  Maisch's  place 
in  Philadelphia.  When  he  had  been  asked  if  he  would  be  willing  to  establish  a 
laboratory  here  for  practical  study — it  would  be  the  third  to  be  organized  by  him — 
he  replied,  that  he  would  not  be  willing  to  undertake  to  teach  the  branches  assigned 
to  him  in  any  other  way.  (Henry  Trimble,  Ainer.  Jour.  Phar.,  August,  1897,  385.) 
In  recognition  of  his  distinction,  the  Board  of  Trustees  tendered  him  a  reception 
upon  his  coming  to  the  College  in  1893,  but  he  was  to  serve  for  only  four  brief 
years.  His  death  occurred  in  1897. 


CLEMENT  B.  LOWE 

In  1897  a  further  regrouping  of  the  subjects  to  be  taught  in  the  school  took 
place.  Botany  was  separated  from  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and  the  latter,  with 
original  title,  came  to  be  occupied  by  Dr.  Clement  B.  Lowe,  a  graduate  of  Bucknell 
University,  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Jefferson  Medical  College, 
with  an  extended  experience  in  the  drug  business  in  Philadelphia  and  who  for 


174       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

more  than  ten  years,  had  been  an  instructor  and  quiz  master  in  the  College.  His 
advancement  was  a  deserved  acknowledgment  of  worth.  Botany  was  then  combined 
with  pharmacognosy  for  a  new  chair,  to  which  the  Trustees  elected  Henry 
Kraemer,  a  graduate  of  Girard  College,  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy, 
the  Columbia  School  of  Mines  and  the  University  of  Marburg  in  Germany.  He 


HENRY  KRAEMER 


also  had  had  practical  knowledge  of  the  drug  business.  For  some  time  he  had  been 
holding  the  chair  of  botany,  pharmacognosy  and  materia  medica  in  the  North- 
western University  of  Chicago.  (Amer  Jour.  Phar.,  June,  1897.) 

In  1898,  upon  the  demise  of  Henry  Trimble,  Henry  Kraemer  was  made  the 
editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  and  in  1899  Frank  X.  Moerk,  in- 
structor of  chemistry  in  the  College,  became  professor  of  analytical  chemistry.

Seventy-Fifth  Anniversary 

The  College  celebrated  its  Seventy-fifth  Anniversary  on  Wednesday  evening 
April  22,  1896.  The  museum  was  converted  into  a  banquet  hall.  About  150  guests 
were  in  attendance. 

Addresses  followed  the  dinner,  Professor  Joseph  P.  Remington  acting  as  the 
toast-master.  Mayor  Charles  F.  Warwick  spoke  for  "The  City  of  Philadelphia" ; 
President  Charles  Bullock  for  "The  Dear  Old  College";  Dr.  William  Pepper  for 
"The  University  of  Pennsylvania/'  of  which  he  had  so  long  been  provost;  Colonel 
A.  K.  McClure  for  "the  Press  of  Philadelphia" ;  Dr.  Horatio  C.  Wood  for  "The 
Medical  Profession";  Dean  J.  W.  Holland  for  "The  Jefferson  Medical  College"; 
Dr.  Edward  Brooks,  Superintendent  of  the  Philadelphia  Public  Schools  on  "Tech- 
nical Education'' ;  George  S.  Graham,  District  Attorney,  on  "Legislative  Subjects'' ; 
and  Dr.  Adolph  W.  Miller  for  "The  Alumni  Association."

Bullock,  Jenks  and  French 

Charles  Ellis  was  succeeded  in  the  presidency  of  the  College  in  1869  by  Dilhvyn 
Parrish,  who  retired  in  1885  because  of  advancing  years,  and  he  was  succeeded  by 
Charles  Bullock,  an  important  and  enlightened  figure  in  the  drug  trade  of  the  city, 
who,  in  his  name  and  person,  formed  a  fitting  link  with  the  past.  He  died  after 
fifteen  years  of  splendid  service,  his  administration  of  the  College  being  marked 
by  much  physical  and  educational  progress.  In  this  service  he  was  ably  supported 
by  T.  Morris  Perot,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 


CHARLES  BULLOCK 

The  death  of  President  Bullock  resulted  in  the  election  of  First  Yice-President 
William  J.  Jenks  as  President  "in  recognition  of  his  many  years  of  faithful  serv- 
ice," but  he  resigned  almost  immediately,  stating  that  he  "highly  appreciated  the 
honor,  but  increasing  years  admonished  that  the  duties  of  the  office  could  be  better 
performed  by  a  younger  person." 

Howard  B.  French  was  then  elected  to  the  presidency.  He  had  long  been  in- 
defatigable in  the  service  of  the  College.  It  was  largely  through  his  devotion  and 
industry  that  the  new  building  had  been  completed  and  made  ready  for  use.  In 
addition,  his  gifts  to  the  library  of  the  College  were  many  and  constant  reminders 
of  his  interest  in  the  institution.

T.  Morris  Perot 

T.  Morris  Perot  (1828-1902)  was  born  in  Philadelphia.  Son  of  Francis  and  Elizabeth 
Morris  Perot.  Ancestors  on  the  Perot  branch  came  from  France  and  settled  in  New  Rochelle, 
N.  Y.  (1685),  and  on  the  Morris  branch,  from  England,  with  William  Penn  in  the  good  ship 
Welcome  (1682).  Entered  wholesale  drug  house  of  Jenks  and  Ogden,  Third  Street  below  Race 
(1844),  then  went  to  Charles  Ellis  and  Co.,  Chestnut  Street  above  Second,  and  for  a  time 
was  foreman  of  their  laboratory.  Graduated  from  the  College  in  1849,  and  in  1851  went  into

the  wholesale  drug  business  on  Fourth  Street  above  Market,  and  later,  on  Market  Street  above 
Sixth;  in  1853  he  associated  with  himself  Edward  H.  Ogden,  as  T.  Morris  Perot  and  Co. 
They  retired  from  business  in  1869,  and  went  into  business  with  Mr.  Perot's  father  in  the 
malting  establishment  founded  by  Anthony  Morris  in  1687,  the  oldest  commercial  house  in 
the  United  States.  Became  a  member  of  the  College  in  1856.  Was  elected  a  trustee  of  the 
College  in  1856,  and  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  (1882-1896,  and  1897-1901).  Joined 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1857.  Actively  identified  with  many  public 
bodies  and  educational  institutions,  and  rendered  most  efficient  service  by  his  sound  business 
judgment  and  unusual  executive  ability.  He  maintained  his  interest  in  the  College  until  his 
death;  Charles  Marshall,  the  first  president  of  the  College,  was  his  great  grandfather. 

Evolution  of  State  Pharmaceutical  Associations 

The  movement  for  organization  on  the  part  of  pharmacists  had  begun  in  cities 
with  Philadelphia  leading  the  way.  The  incorporated  and  unincorporated  bodies 
formed  the  national  association  in  1852.  Now  state  associations  were  beginning  to 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       179 

be  organized.  It  was  about  1870  that  this  movement  started  in  some  of  the  West- 
ern and  Southern  states.  In  1877  such  associations  were  already  in  existence  in 
California,  Connecticut,  Georgia,  Kansas,  Maine,  Michigan,  Mississippi,  New 
Hampshire,  New  Jersey,  Rhode  Island,  South  Carolina,  Tennessee  and  Vermont, 
thirteen  in  all.  The  .-1/nerican  Journal  of  Pharmacy  in  Philadelphia  urged  that  the 
work  should  proceed  in  the  more  populous  states.  (Aincr.  Jour.  Phar.  May  and 
June,  1877.) 


JOSEPH   L.   LEMBERGEU 

Joseph  L.  Lemberger  (1834-  ),  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharma- 
ceutical Association  in  1878  and  its  treasurer  for  thirty-three  years ;  born  in  Myerstown, 
Lebanon  County,  Pa.  Early  education  in  public  school.  Apprenticed  to  Dr.  Joseph  P.  Filler, 
Philadelphia.  Graduated  from  the  College  (1854).  Entered  retail  business  in  Lebanon  (1857). 
Saw  service  in  Civil  War  (1862-1863).  Was  made  honorary  master  in  pharmacy  by  alma 
mater  in  1889,  elected  a  trustee,  and  second  vice-president  (1910-  ).  Elected  member  of 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  (1858),  second  vice-president  (1879),  and  president 
(1905).  Member  of  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  of  the  Reformed  Church,  and  of  Board  of 
Trustees  of  State  Asylum  for  Chronic  Insane  at  Wernersville,  Pa.,  (and  secretary  from  1892) 
and  of  the  Board  of  Managers  of  Pennsylvania  Chautauqua.  Has  contributed  many  valu- 
able articles  to  pharmaceutical  organizations  and  periodicals  and  is  an  able  worker  for  the 
upbuilding  of  his  profession. 


180       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association 

This  was  the  signal  for  action  in  Pennsylvania.  A  call  for  a  meeting  in  Har- 
risburg  on  February  26,  1878.  Representatives  were  present  from  Philadelphia, 
Lancaster,  Reading,  Pottsville,  Columbia,  Chambersburg,  Carlisle,  Shippensburg 
and  Harrisburg.  The  meeting  was  organized  by  electing  its  president  Charles  A. 
Heinitsh,  of  Lancaster,  a  widely  known  and  a  universally  esteemed  pharmacist  who 
had  an  apothecary  shop  in  Lancaster  which  had  been  established  in  1782  by  his 
grandfather.  Dr.  J.  A.  Miller,  of  Harrisburg,  was  chosen  secretary,  and  Joseph 
L.  Lemberger,  of  Lebanon,  treasurer.  A  constitution  was  adopted.  The  aim  of 
the  association  would  be  "to  unite  the  educated  and  reputable  pharmaceutists  of 
the  State,  to  improve  the  science  and  art  of  pharmacy  and  restrict  the  dispensing 
and  sale  of  medicines  to  regularly  educated  druggists  and  apothecaries."  The  dele- 
gates adjourned  to  meet  in  Reading  in  the  following  June.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar., 
March,  1878.) 

Many  druggists  assembled  in  Reading  at  that  time ;  new  members  were  elected. 
They  were  welcomed  by  the  Mayor  of  the  City.  Plans  were  laid  for  obtaining  a 
charter,  delegates  were  named  to  attend  the  next  meeting  of  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association ;  needed  state  legislation  and  some  scientific  subjects  were  dis- 
cussed. (Ibid.,  July,  1878.)  Professor  Remington,  Professor  Maisch,  and  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  as  a  body,  gave  a  strong  and  intelligent  support 
and  guidance  to  the  organization,  which  has  continued  to  meet  year  after  year,  with 
great  advantage  to  pharmacy  in  Pennsylvania. 

Progress  of  Pharmaceutical  Legislation 

The  progress  of  pharmaceutical  legislation  in  the  states,  aided  by  the  state  as- 
sociations, was  now  rapid.  Beginning  with  Rhode  Island  and  a  few  cities,  includ- 
ing Philadelphia,  the  establishment  of  a  system  of  registering,  examining  and 
granting  certificates  to  pharmacists  and  their  assistants  by  official  boards  spread 
over  the  country. 

Pharmacy  Law  of  Pennsylvania 

A  state  pharmacy  law  was  passed  by  the  Legislature  of  Pennsylvania  and 
signed  by  Governor  Beaver  in  1887.  The  work  was  to  proceed  on  the  lines  laid 
down  for  the  City  of  Philadelphia  in  1872. 

The  board  of  pharmacy  was  to  consist  of  five  members  to  be  appointed  by  the 
governor.  They  were  to  register  all  retail  druggists  and  apothecaries  already  in 
business ;  examine  all  who  should  wish  hereafter  to  adopt  this  responsible  pursuit. 
If  they  should  pass  their  examination,  they  would  be  given  certificates  attesting  to 
their  competency.  The  rules  as  to  qualified  assistants  and  the  adulteration  of  drugs, 
were  similar  to  those  which  had  been  in  force  for  fifteen  years  in  Philadelphia. 

A  provision  was  included  in  the  law  concerning  the  sale  of  poisons,  bringing 
the  State  abreast  of  the  practice  of  pharmacy  elsewhere.  The  seller  must  register 
his  sales,  mark  his  boxes  and  vials  with  appropriate  labels,  pointing  out  the  dan- 
gerous character  of  the  contents,  and  satisfy  himself  as  to  the  responsibility  of  the 
purchaser  and  that  what  was  sold  would  be  applied  to  a  proper  use.  The  usual 
exceptions  were  made  for  physicians  and  dealers  in  proprietary  medicines. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       181 

So  much  was  in  regular  course.  But  the  law  contained  other  provisions  which 
aroused  the  antipathy  of  the  College  and  of  pharmacists  generally.  In  the  first 
place,  the  diploma  of  neither  the  College  in  Philadelphia,  nor  of  any  other  institu- 
tion engaged  in  pharmaceutical  education,  was  recognized  as  an  equivalent  of  or  in 
any  way  bearing  on  the  certificate  of  the  State  Board.  A  graduate  of  any  "ac- 
credited medical  college,"  in  the  practice  of  medicine  for  at  least  three  years  sub- 
sequent to  his  graduation,  might  be  registered  and  receive  the  certificate  of  the 
board  as  a  pharmacist  qualified  "to  conduct  and  carry  on  the  retail  drug  or  apothe- 


WILLIAM  L.  CLIFFE 

William  L.  Cliffe  (1865-  ),  one  of  the  foremost  figures  of  Pennsylvania  Phar- 
macy, especially  in  matters  of  legislation  and  education,  received  his  early  education  in  the 
public  schools  and  was  apprenticed  with  F.  H.  Basset,  Frankford,  Philadelphia  (1880). 
Graduated  from  the  College  in  1884,  the  subject  of  his  thesis  being  "Iris  Versicolor." 
Opened  a  retail  drug  store  at  Kensington  Avenue  and  Somerset  Street  (1884).  Active  in 
Alumni  Association,  becoming,  successively,  corresponding  secretary  (1891),  second  vice- 
president  (1892),  first  vice-president  (1893),  and  president  (1894),  and  treasurer  (1896- 
1900).  President  of  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association  (1901-1902),  and  several 
years  chairman  of  the  committee  on  legislation ;  also  member  of  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association  (1898)  and  first  vice-president  (1901-1902).  Member  of  Pennsylvania  Board  of 
Pharmacy  (1900-1906).  Member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College  (since  1898),  and 
especially  active  on  its  committee  of  instruction,  and  of  education,  rendering  most  valuable 
service.

cary  business  as  proprietor  or  manager  thereof"  and  without  examination.  This 
was  held  by  the  College  and  other  pharmaceutical  bodies  to  be  outrageous  and  the 
repeal  of  such  unreasonable  legislation,  which  was  contrary  to  the  public  interest 
and  discriminated  in  an  insolent  way  against  pharmaceutical  schools,  was  demanded 
at  once.  (Act  of  May  24,  1887;  Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  June,  1887,  July,  1887  and 
June,  1892.)  But  through  the  political  influence  of  the  country  doctors  in  the  state 
legislature,  nothing  came  of  the  agitation  until  1905,  when  the  law  was  amended  to 
require  that  every  person  applying  to  the  State  Board  for  examination  for  a  cer- 
tificate to  carry  on  a  retail  drug  business  should,  after  January  1,  1906,  be  a  gradu- 
ate of  "some  reputable  and  properly  chartered  college  of  pharmacy.''

Prerequisite  Laws  and  Pharmaceutical  Licensure 
The  so-called  "prerequisite  laws,"  which  require  graduation  in  pharmacy  as 
a  prerequisite  to  examination  and  registration  by  State  Boards  of  Pharmacy  as  a 
pharmacist,  thus  giving  to  colleges  of  pharmacy  their  rightful  status  as  educational 
institutions  and  raising  the  practice  of  pharmacy  to  a  distinctly  higher  plane,  what- 
ever the  standards  of  the  State  Boards  might  otherwise  be,  were  but  slowly  enacted. 
The  first  State  to  enact  a  prerequisite  law  was  New  York  in  1905,  followed  by 
Pennsylvania  one  year  later;  the  other  States  remained  inactive  until  1915,  when 
North  Dakota  and  Washington  enacted  prerequisite  laws.  Illinois  and  Ohio  fol- 
lowed in  1917.  Up  to  January  1,  1921,  there  were  prerequisite  laws  in  only  seven- 
teen States  *  out  of  forty-eight,  though  the  subject  has  been  under  debate  in  others 
— in  some  of  these  such  laws  have  since  been  adopted. 

Reciprocity  in  pharmaceutical  licensure  is  in  effect  between  forty-three  states 
and  the  District  of  Columbia.**  In  the  advancements  of  the  legal  standards  of 
pharmacy,  the  National  Associations  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy  (organized  in  1904) 
has  probably  contributed  more  than  any  other  single  agency.  In  later  years,  it  has 
had  the  cooperation  of  the  American  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical  Faculties 
(organized  in  1900),  which  has  done  much  to  aid  the  National  Association  of 

*  The  seventeen  States,  including  those  mentioned  above,  in  which  prerequisite  legislation 
has  been  enacted  up  to  January  1,  1921,  are  as  follows : 

New  York  Kentucky  Rhode  Island 

Pennsylvania  Maryland  South  Carolina 

Illinois  Minnesota  Virginia 

Ohio  New  Jersey  Washington 

Indiana  North  Dakota  Mississippi 

Iowa  Oklahoma 

Oregon  has  a  requirement  for  one  year  college  work,  effective  1921,  and  graduation 
effective  1922. 

The  five  States  which  have  reported  that  prerequisite  legislation  has  been  passed  so  far 
this  year  are  West  Virginia,  by  ruling  of  the  Board,  North  Carolina,  Kansas,  Nebraska  and 
Texas.  Prerequisite  legislation  is  pending  in  several  other  States  where  legislatures  are  still 
in  session.  Alabama,  Michigan,  Georgia,  and  a  number  of  other  States  where  conditions  were 
not  favorable  this  year  will  seek  prerequisite  legislation  in  1923.

that  the  interests  of  pharmaceutical  education  may  be  promoted,  pharmaceutical

U.  S.  Pharmacopoeias  of  1880  and  Later 

In  the  work  of  revising  the  Pharmacopoeia  every  ten  years  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  continued  to  play  a  leading  role.  In  1830  the  work  was,  for 
all  practical  purposes,  as  we  have  seen,  the  sole  production  of  Wood  and  Bache — 
they  constituted  the  whole  Faculty  of  the  College — and  in  each  decennial  enlarge- 
ment and  improvement  of  the  work,  those  who  have  had  to  do  with  the  teaching 
and  practice  of  pharmacy  in  Philadelphia  have  had  a  dominant  part,  justified  by 
their  interest  and  intimate  knowledge  of  the  subject. 

In  1890  the  Committee  of  Revision  made  an  important  decision.  It  would  se- 
cure the  copyright  of  the  book  for  itself.  It  would  be  printed  at  the  risk  of  the 
committee,  and  it  would  be  distributed  through  selling  agents.  Then  from  the 
income,  small  sums  could  be  paid  to  those  whom  it  might  be  necessary  to  employ 
and  honoraria  could  be  distributed  among  the  members  of  the  committee  as  a  slight 
return  for  their  services  in  preparing  the  descriptions  and  tests  of  the  book.  That 
this  might  be  done  with  more  propriety,  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia!  Conven- 
tion, as  it  had  come  to  be  called,  was  incorporated.  A  constitution  and  by-laws  were 
adopted.  The  business  affairs  of  the  corporation  would  be  administered  by  a  board 
of  trustees. 

Charles  Rice  of  the  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy,  of  Austrian  birth,  a  resi- 
dent of  this  country  since  1862,  a  learned  pharmacist  and  a  forceful  executive,  was 
chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  in  1880,  when  radical  changes  were  made 
in  the  style  and  character  of  the  book.  He  served  in  the  same  position  in  1890, 
and  was  continued  in  the  post  for  the  work  in  1900,  but  illness  interrupted  and 
death  ended  his  activities.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  June,  1901.) 

The  burden  of  the  Eighth  Revision  then  fell  upon  the  shoulders  of  Professor 
Joseph  P.  Remington,  who,  as  first  vice-chairman  since  1880,  had  hitherto  borne  no 
inconsiderable  part  in  the  direction  of  the  work.  Under  his  guidance,  the  book 
was  now  gone  over  again  in  the  most  careful  manner.  The  revision  was  "the  most 
thorough  that  had  ever  been  attempted."  It  was  extended  and  improved  in  so  many 
ways  that  the  publication  was  necessarily  delayed.  Indeed,  it  was  not  ready  for 
use  until  1905.  Professor  Remington  was  continued  in  the  chairmanship  in  1910, 
and  upon  his  death  in  1918,  Professor  Charles  H.  La  Wall,  his  friend  and  assistant 
in  the  College  for  so  many  years,  succeeded  to  the  position. 

When  the  Convention  met  in  Washington  in  1920  and  a  new  Committee  of 
Revision  was  appointed  to  take  charge  of  the  Tenth  Decennial  Revision,  Professor 
E.  Fullerton  Cook  of  the  College,  who,  in  association  with  Professor  Remington  had 
rendered  much  useful  service  in  connection  with  the  editions  of  1900  and  1910,  was 
unanimously  elected  chairman,  and  he  has  now  the  responsibility  of  directing  the 
work  in  progress. 


184       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

To  an  increasing  degree  pharmacy  rather  than  medicine  was  giving  form  to 
the  Pharmacopoeia.  Pharmacists  began  in  1860  to  dominate  the  Committee  of  Re- 
vision, because  the  work  of  review  was  pharmaceutical  rather  than  therapeutical, 
and  this  condition  still  obtains.  The  College  was  brought  into  prominence  in  this 
work,  not  only  through  Remington  having  the  chairmanship,  but  through  the  num- 
ber of  graduates  and  students  of  the  school  who  were  his  associates.  In  1910  no 
less  than  seventeen  members  of  the  committee  had  at  some  time  attended  courses 
in  the  school  (J.  P.  Remington,  Bulletin  of  Phil.  Coll.  Phar.,  Feb.,  1911),  and 
twelve  out  of  the  thirty-three  pharmacists  on  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  1920, 
including  the  chairman,  are  alumni  of  the  institution.  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  April, 
1921.) 

Honors  to  Leaders  of  American  Pharmacy 

In  the  midst  of  all  the  commercial  influences  that  have  pressed  in  upon  the 
profession  of  pharmacy  in  recent  years,  pharmacists  have  not  been  unmindful  of 
the  gratitude  they  owe  their  leaders.  Charles  Rice,  who  had  done  so  much  for 
pharmacy,  and  with  inadequate  reward,  died  on  May  13,  1901,  and  was  buried 
in  Woodlawn  Cemetery  in  New  York.  Funds  were  collected  and  his  resting  place 
was  marked,  in  1903,  by  a  massive  granite  block  upon  which  was  inscribed  the 
words,  "Erected  by  his  friends  in  grateful  appreciation  of  his  eminent  services  to 
Medicine  and  Pharmacy." 

A  movement  was  started  at  the  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  As- 
sociation at  Put-in-Bay  in  1899  to  do  suitable  honor  to  William  Procter,  Jr.,  whom 
many  called,  "The  Father  of  American  Pharmacy."  The  suggestion  was  made  by- 
Albert  E.  Ebert,  an  old  student  of  Procter  at  the  College,  who  had  later  graduated 
as  a  chemist  at  the  University  of  Munich,  and  now,  for  many  years,  had  held  a 
prominent  place  in  pharmaceutical  ranks  in  Chicago. 

Professor  Remington,  also  a  student  of  Procter,  and  his  successor  in  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy,  reviewed  Procter's  life  in  a  memoir,  prepared  for 
and  read  at  the  meeting  of  the  Association  held  in  Richmond  in  1900.  "Twenty- 
six  years  have  elapsed  since  Professor  Procter  passed  away.  Pharmacy  has  wit- 
nessed many  changes  in  the  last  quarter  of  a  century,  but  his  work  still  remains. 
Methodical  and  careful  in  his  habits,  far-seeing,  equipped  by  his  experience  in  writ- 
ing and  teaching  with  the  every-day  needs  of  the  pharmacist,  no  wonder  need  be 
expressed  that  time  has  made  so  few  ravages  and  very  little  of  his  work  can  be  said 
now  to  be  obsolete."  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  June,  1900.) 

The  subject  was  commended  to  the  fiftieth  anniversary  meeting  of  the  Ameri- 
can Pharmaceutical  Association,  which  was  to  be  held  in  Philadelphia  in  1902. 

Editor  Henry  Kraemer  opened  the  columns  of  the  American  Journal  of  Phar- 
macy to  the  subject  of  a  memorial  to  Procter,  which  was  discussed  by  many  cor- 
respondents. 

American  pharmacy  owed  a  debt  of  gratitude  to  this  tireless  research  worker, 
in  the  science  and  art  of  pharmacy,  whose  findings  were  of  fundamental  importance 
and  gave  to  American  pharmacy  not  only  national,  but  international  prestige. 
He  was  truly  the  "Father  of  American  Pharmacy."  At  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1902,  it  was  resolved  to  solicit  subscrip- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy        185 

tions  for  a  memorial  monument  to  William  Procter,  Jr.,  to  be  erected  on  the  Smith- 
sonian Grounds  at  Washington,  D.  C.  A  committee  was  appointed  of  which  John 
F.  Hancock,  former  president  of  the  Association  and  a  personal  friend  of  William 
Procter,  Jr.,  was  made  chairman,  and  under  his  splendid  leadership  subscriptions 
were  solicited,  and  the  fund  now  amounts  to  more  than  $10,000. 

Responsibility  for  Public  Health 

The  dawn  of  the  twentieth  century  brought  an  awakening  social  sense.  It 
was  borne  in  upon  us  on  all  sides  that  there  was  public  responsibility  for  com- 
munity conduct.  Evils  done  to  society  must  be  checked  by  legal  action.  The  dis- 
tribution of  habit-forming  drugs,  for  the  control  of  which  there  had  been  no 
regulatory  provisions,  other  than  the  personal  judgment  and  conscientious  sense 
of  the  seller,  must  be  put  under  restraint.  The  sale  of  alcohol  must  be  controlled. 
Here  were  two  classes  of  subjects  calling  for  the  intervention  of  Government. 
Good  order,  the  best  interests  of  society,  required  that  the  drug  store  should  not 
be  an  exchange  for  the  distribution  of  intoxicants  and  narcotics.  Codes  of  ethics 
in  the  profession  were  not  adequate.  Here  was  found  a  fruitful  field  for  state 
enactments  to  which  the  pharmacist  would  be  obliged  to  conform. 

More  impended  in  the  enactment  of  food  and  drugs  laws.  A  self-evident  neces- 
sity, so  we  must  think  today,  and  yet  it  was  only  now  that  the  Government  was  held 
to  have  a  duty  in  regard  to  the  purity  and  quality  of  the  food  and  drugs  of  the 
general  public.  It  may  have  been  that  cupidity  was  increasing  with  the  progress 
of  invention,  the  accumulation  of  capital  and  the  growth  of  business,  that  less  honor 
was  observable  in  trade.  It  was  certain,  however,  that  the  people  were  aroused  as 
to  the  wrong,  which  was  bound  up  with  deceit  and  fraud  in  the  sale  of  articles  so 
vitally  affecting  the  public  welfare  and  the  social  good.  The  doctrine  that  man  was 
his  brother's  keeper  had  spread  far  and  wide ;  especially  with  reference  to  the 
defective,  the  ignorant,  the  down-trodden,  the  immigrant,  and  the  ill-conditioned 
on  whatever  account ;  but  the  practical  application  of  it,  as  related  to  the  protection 
of  the  public  health,  had  not  yet  been  put  into  effect  legally. 

Some  states,  such  as  Pennsylvania,  in  1895  and  later,  had  entered  this  field  with 
laws  which  for  the  most  part  were  impracticable  and  inoperative.  For  a  long  time 
an  agitation  had  been  in  progress  looking  to  the  enactment  of  a  Federal  food  and 
drugs  law.  If  correct  standards  could  be  established  through  Congress  for  the 
nation  to  cover  interstate  commerce,  legislation  in  the  separate  states  to  cover  intra- 
state  commerce  could  follow  and  soon  the  whole  situation  could  be  brought  under 
proper  control.  Concurrently,  a  certain  number  of  writers  in  influential  periodicals 
began  an  assault  upon  the  nostrum  evil,  directing  public  attention  to  the  harmful 
ingredients  in  patent  medicines  upon  which  honorable  pharmacy  had  been  waging 
war  ever  since  the  day  the  College  was  founded  in  Philadelphia.  Some  periodicals 
were  freeing  themselves  from  the  corrupting  influence  of  the  advertisers  of  proprie- 
tary remedies.  The  public  was  coming  to  understand  the  danger  in  the  unregulated 
traffic  of  these  products.  The  recently  organized  Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chem- 
istry of  the  American  Medical  Association  was  developing  an  effective  propaganda 
against  the  spread  of  quackery  and  hurtful  self-medication.

Enactment  of  the  Federal  Food  and  Drugs  Law 

In  June,  1906,  "an  act  for  preventing  the  manufacture,  sale  or  transportation 
of  adulterated  or  misbranded  or  poisonous  or  deleterious  foods,  drugs,  medicines 
and  liquors,  and  for  regulating  traffic  herein,  and  for  other  purposes,"  passed 
Congress  and  became  effective  on  January  1,  1907.  The  administration  of  the  law 


HARVEY  W.  WILEY 

Harvey  W.  Wiley  was  born  (1844)  in  Kent,  Ind.  Son  of  Preston  P.  and  Lucinda  Weir. 
A.B.  (Hanover,  Ind.)  College  (1867),  A.M.  (1870)  ;  M.D.,  Indiana  Medical  College  (1871)  ; 
B.S.,  Harvard  (1873);  (Hon.Ph.D.,  Hanover;  1876,  LL.D.,  1898,  LL.D.,  U.  of  Vt.,  1911; 
D.Sc.,  Lafayette,  1912).  Professor  of  Latin  and  Greek,  Butler  College,  Indianapolis  (1868- 
70)  ;  teacher  of  science  in  high  school,  Indianapolis  (1871)  ;  professor  of  chemistry,  Butler 
University  (1874)  ;  professor  of  chemistry,  Purdue  University,  and  state  chemist  of  Indiana 
(1874-1883);  chief  chemist,  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture  (1883-1912);  professor  of 
agricultural  chemistry,  George  Washington  University  (1889-  ).  President  of  U.  S. 
Pharmacopoeia!  Convention  of  1910-1920;  member  of  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
and  of  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy;  member,  also,  of  many  national  and  international 
scientific  bodies.  Contributing  editor  of  Good  Housekeeping  Magazine  (1912-  )  and 
author  of  books  on  chemistry  and  allied  science  in  relation  to  foods  and  their  adulterations ; 
also,  many  U.  S.  government  bulletins  and  scientific  papers  embodying  the  results  of  original 
investigations.  To  Dr.  Wiley,  probably  more  than  any  other  man,  is  due  the  development  of 
public  opinion  which  resulted  in  the  enactment  by  Congress  of  the  Federal  Food  and  Drugs 
Act  of  1906,  a  measure  which  has  proven  to  be  of  incalculable  value  in  bettering  the  purity 
and  quality  of  food  and  drugs  in  this  country. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       187 

was  given  to  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  of  which  Dr.  Harvey  W.  Wiley  was 
chief  chemist.  Henceforth,  drugs  must  be  pure — they  must  measure  up  to  the 
standards  of  identity,  purity,  quality  and  strength  laid  clown  for  them  in  the  United 
States  Pharmacopoeia  or  the  National  Formulary.  If  they  were  adulterated,  a  plain 
statement  of  fact  must  accompany  such  drugs  for  the  information  of  the  purchaser 
— they  must  be  sold  for  what  they  were. 

Moreover,  no  drug  might  be  misbranded ;  one  thing  could  not  be  sold  for  an- 
other ;  imitations  could  not  be  sold  for  what  was  genuine.  Nor  could  any  drug 
be  misleading!)?  labeled  in  other  respects.  It  might  not  bear  "any  statement,  de- 
sign, or  device  regarding  the  ingredients  or  substances  contained  therein,  which 
should  be  false  or  misleading  in  any  particular,"  nor  should  it  be  "falsely  branded 
as  to  the  state,  territory  or  country  in  which  is  manufactured  or  produced."  If  it 
should  contain  alcohol,  opium,  cocaine,  or  other  substances  named  in  the  law,  and 
which  were  calculated  to  exert  a  deleterious  influence,  the  quantity  of  these  in- 
gredients must  be  stated  on  the  outside  of  the  package. 

Enactment  of  State  Food  and  Drugs  Laws 

Within  one  year,  no  less  than  seventeen  states  had  enacted  laws  patterned  after 
the  Federal  food  and  drugs  law  of  1906.  Not  only  could  adulterated  food  and 
drugs  not  be  trafficked — in,  between  and  among  states — they  could  not  be  made 
and  sold  within  the  boundaries  of  individual  states.  Before  June,  1907,  Georgia, 
Vermont,  West  Virginia,  Kansas,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Wyoming, 
Oregon,  California,  Washington,  Missouri,  Colorado,  New  Hampshire,  South  Da- 
kota, North  Dakota,  Texas,  Indiana  and  Tennessee  had  followed  the  Federal  ex- 
ample and  had  established  standards  for  food  and  drugs  for  the  protection  of  their 
population.  Other  states  soon  engaged  themselves  with  the  subject.  Pennsylvania 
revised  its  laws  of  1895  and  later  in  1909,  and  as  a  result  of  widespread  and  sus- 
tained effort  the  whole  internal  commerce  in  drugs  in  this  country  was  brought 
under  the  surveillance  of  scientific  men. 

Administration  of  the  Federal  Food  and  Drugs  Law 

At  the  head  of  the  Bureau  of  Chemistry  of  the  Department  of  Agriculture,  to 
which  department  the  administration  of  the  Federal  food  and  drugs  law  had  been 
committed  by  Congress,  stood  Dr.  Harvey  W.  Wiley.  For  years  he  had  been 
combating  entrenched  fraud  bound-up  with  the  food  and  drug  trades  and  had 
headed  the  movement  which  finally  culminated  in  the  enactment  of  the  law,  first  as 
a  citizen  and  later  as  an  officer  of  the  Federal  government  in  a  position  to  speak  with 
authority. 

Dr.  Wiley  now  gave  his  care  to  the  enforcement  of  the  new  law,  and  it  is 
to  the  everlasting  credit  of  the  retail,  wholesale  and  manufacturing  drug  trade  of  the 
country  that  he  received  their  most  hearty  co-operation  and  support  in  his  efforts 
to  purge  the  trade  of  its  abuses. 

There  had  been  no  Federal  law  on  the  subject  of  drugs  since  that  of  1848. 
Examiners  still  performed  their  functions  under  the  law,  year  by  year,  as  the  ships 
came  in  with  foreign  drugs.  Now  there  were  some  to  say  that  this  old  enactment

MAHLON  N.   KLINE 

Mahlon  N.  Kline  (1846-1909).  Born  near  Hamburg,  Berks  County,  Pa.  Educated  in 
the  public  schools.  Entered  employ  of  Smith  and  Shoemaker,  wholesale  druggists,  243  North 
Third  Street,  Philadelphia  (1865),  and  exhibited  a  remarkable  aptitude  for  salesmanship; 
three  years  later  was  admitted  into  firm,  Mr.  Shoemaker  retiring  and  the  firm  name  being 
changed  to  Smith,  Kline  &  Co.  In  1887  the  business  was  removed  to  429  Arch  Street ;  a  year 
later  the  firm  name  was  changed  to  Smith  and  Kline  Co.  In  1891  Harry  B.  French  en- 
tered the  firm,  when  it  was  re-organized  as  Smith,  Kline  and  French  Co.  Rapidly  became 
one  of  the  foremost  figures  in  wholesale  drug  circles,  and  in  1885  was  elected  president  of 
the  National  Wholesale  Druggist's  Association,  and  for  many  years  was  chairman  of  some 
of  its  most  important  committees.  Was  president  of  the  Philadelphia  Drug  Exchange  (1884), 
and  a  director.  Was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Trade's  League  (afterwards  the  Philadel- 
phia Chamber  of  Commerce).  Became  a  member  of  the  College  (1886),  then  trustee  (1897), 
and  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  (1901).  Was  elected  first  vice-president  of  the  Col- 
lege (1905).  Was  liberal  in  contributing  to  the  support  of  the  College,  his  most  notable 
contribution  being  as  a  member  of  the  Smith,  Kline  and  French  Co.,  in  conjunction  with 
Howard  B.  French,  the  purchase  and  donation  of  the  famous  Martindale  Herbarium  in 
1894.  He  was  a  staunch  advocate  of  the  Federal  food  and  drugs  act  of  1906;  Dr.  Harvey 
W.  Wiley  has  said  that  he  owed  more  to  Mr.  Kline  in  the  framing  of  the  regulations  of  the 
law  than  to  anyone  else.  Was  closely  identified  with  civic,  philanthropic  and  religious  work, 
and  was  a  reformer  in  municipal  politics.  No  higher  tribute  can  be  paid  to  Mahlon  N.  Kline 
than  to  say  that  he  was  a  strong,  broad  gauged  Christian  gentleman  who  practiced  what  he 
preached.  He  loved  work  and  rejoiced  in  accomplishment.  He  was  enthusiastic  in  all  that 
he  did  and  strove  to  make  each  day's  work  better  than  that  of  the  day  before.  His  passing 
was  a  national  loss  to  pharmacy. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       189 

was  superfluous.  It  was  no  longer  important  what  might  be  received  from  other 
countries  if  its  sale  was  regulated  after  its  receipt.  Indeed  it  would  be  to  the  ad- 
vantage of  manufacturers  if  it  should  be  made  lawful  to  import  crude  drugs  below 
official  strength,  provided  the  importer  gave  an  adequate  guaranty  that  the  goods 
would  be  used  for  many  manufacturing  purposes  only.  No  interest  would  now  be 
endangered,  it  was  urged,  if  this  form  of  Federal  activity  was  abolished  and  the 
restrictive  power  of  the  government  to  interstate  trade  through  the  agencies  at 
Washington  was  applied.  (Aincr.  Jour.  Pliar.,  Jan.,  1909.) 

But  Attorney-General  Bonaparte  stated  that,  in  his  opinion,  the  Federal  Drug 
Import  Law  of  1848  was  still  in  full  force  and  effect  and  did  not  antagonize  the 
Federal  Food  and  Drugs  Law  of  1906  in  any  way,  and  this  opinion  has  not  been 
questioned  legally. 

The  recognition  by  Congress  of  the  National  Formulary  in  naming  it  as  a 
legal  standard  with  the  Pharmacopoeia,  under  the  Federal  Food  and  Drugs  law, 
made  necessary  the  improvement  of  that  work  to  meet  new  conditions.  The  book 
had  been  a  development  of  the  New  York  and  Brooklyn  Formulary  which  Dr. 
Charles  Rice  and  other  New  York  pharmaceutical  writers  and  investigators  had 
made  successful.  In  1885  Dr.  Rice  proposed  to  turn  it  over  to  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association.  When  the  gift  was  accepted,  it  became  the  National  For- 
mulary, the  first  edition  of  which  was  issued  in  1888.  However  valuable  it  might 
have  been,  now,  since  Rice's  death,  it  clearly  needed  revision  to  fit  it  as  a  legal 
standard.  The  subject  was  taken  up  by  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
which  appointed  a  committee,  which  promptly  brought  the  Formulary  into  full 
conformity  with  the  Pharmacopoeia  as  a  legal  standard. 

Narcotic  Laws 

The  Federal  Food  and  Drugs  law  of  1906  was  followed  by  another  impor- 
tant enactment  bearing  upon  the  drug  trade.  In  December,  1914,  Congress 
passed  the  so-called  Harrison  Narcotic  Act,  which  put  necessary  restrictions  upon 
the  importation  and  interstate  commerce  of  opium,  coca  and  their  salts,  deriva- 
tives or  preparations,  obliging  all  importers,  manufacturers  and  dealers  to  register 
with  the  Collector  of  Internal  Revenue  of  the  district  in  which  he  purposes  carrying 
on  his  trade,  and  to  sell  or  distribute  under  certain  specified  conditions  only.  (U.  S. 
Statutes  at  Large,  Vol.  38,  785-90.)  The  Federal  law  was  soon  followed  by  the 
enactment  of  many  state  laws  on  the  same  subject  covering  interstate  commerce. 

First  Commercial  Training  in  Pharmacy 

The  Philadelphia  College  kept  abreast  of  the  changing  age.  In  1899  an  op- 
tional course  in  commercial  training — later  made  obligatory — with  the  object  of 
teaching  students  method  of  bookkeeping  and  commercial  practice  in  use  in  drug 
stores — the  first  of  its  kind  in  the  country — was  introduced  by  Professor  Reming- 
ton and  later  put  in  charge  of  Frank  Gibbs  Ryan,  who  had  been  Remington's  as- 
sistant for  a  number  of  years  as  an  instructor  in  pharmacy,  and  who  subsequently 


190       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 


associated  himself  with  Parke,  Davis  and  Co.,  one  of  the  leading  manufacturing 
pharmaceutical  houses  of  the  United  States,  with  numerous  branches  in  foreign 
countries,  of  which  corporation  he  became  the  president.  (Amcr.  Jour.  Phar., 
June,  1920.) 

Charles  H.  LaWall,  who  became  an  instructor  of  pharmacy  in  1900,  was 
elected  associate  professor  of  pharmacy  in  1906.  His  interest  in  the  subject  of  food 
and  drug  legislation,  his  experience  as  a  chemist  of  the  Pure  Food  Bureau  of  the 
Pennsylvania  State  Department  of  Agriculture,  and  of  the  Federal  Government  in 
the  examination  of  drugs  coming  into  the  port  of  Philadelphia,  put  the  College  in 
active  relationship  with  such  service. 

Food  and  Drugs  Course  (1907) 

The  time  had  now  come  when  steps  should  be  taken  "to  establish  a  course  to 
educate  students  in  such  studies  as  are  adapted  to  qualify  them  for  service  under  the 
Federal  Food  and  Drugs  Act  of  June  30,  1906,"  and,  of  course,  including  State  acts

to  be  enacted  later ;  and  the  details  of  the  course  were  agreed  upon,  the  title  to  be 
"The  Food  and  Drugs  Course  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy." 

On  December  2,  1907,  it  was  decided  to  name  the  new  laboratory  building, 
"The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  Annex."  The  Aimwell  School  property 
on  Cherry  Street,  which  the  College  had  purchased  in  1889,  was  now  to  be  torn

away  to  make  room  for  the  new  Food  and  Drug  Laboratory  for  the  use  of  those 
wishing  to  enter  this  field  of  work.  The  late  Mahlon  X.  Kline,  Chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  and  Joseph  P.  Remington  secured  contributions  of  some  thou- 
sands of  dollars  for  the  purpose  of  building  the  laboratory,  the  tenants  were  notified 
to  vacate  the  premises,  and  the  new  building  and  fixtures  costing  $22,296  was  con- 
nected with  the  old  building  and  opened  for  use. 

Faculty  Changes 

Freeman  P.  Stroup,  for  a  number  of  years  an  instructor  in  chemistry,  became 
an  associate  professor  of  chemistry  in  1910  and  a  full  professor  in  1916.  Dr.  John 
A.  Roddy  was  elected  professor  of  bacteriology  and  hygiene  in  1914.  E.  Fuller- 
ton  Cook  who,  like  Charles  H.  La  Wall,  had  enjoyed  unusual  opportunities  for  the 
development  of  skill  and  the  acquisition  of  specialized  knowledge  through  his  close 
and  continued  contact  with  Professor  Remington,  and  who  since  1900  had  been  as- 
sistant director  of  the  pharmaceutical  laboratory,  was  advanced  in  1915  to  an 
associate  professorship  of  operative  pharmacy  and  in  1918  to  full  professorship. 

In  the  autumn  of  1917,  Professor  Henry  Kraemer  was  elected  to  a  responsible 
position  in  the  Department  of  Pharmacy  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  whereupon 
Heber  W.  Youngken,  who  had  been  serving  as  Kraemer's  associate,  was  advanced 
to  the  chair  of  botany  and  pharmacognosy.  The  editorship  of  the  American  Jour- 
nal of  Pharmacy  passed  to  George  M.  Beringer,  long  and  actively  identified  with 
the  interests  of  the  College.  Professor  Roddy's  absence  in  government  service  dur- 
ing the  World  War  led  to  Louis  Gershenfeld  taking  over  the  courses  in  bacteriol- 
ogy, and  to  his,  later,  being  made  a  full  professor  of  the  branch,  the  position  he  now 
holds. 

Merging  of  the  Department  of  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  of  the 
Medico-Chirurgical  College 

In  1916  when  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College  of  Philadelphia  and  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania  were  consolidated,  the  University  remained  true  to  the 
policy  which  it  had  adopted  in  1821,  when,  after  the  rather  unfortunate  experiment, 
made  upon  the  advice  of  Dr.  John  Redman  Coxe,  it  had  left  the  field  of  pharma- 
ceutical education  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  The  Medico-Chi- 
rurgical foundation  included  a  well  organized  and  successful  department  of  phar- 
macy and  chemistry,  regarded  in  many  ways  as  the  strongest  department  of  that 
institution.  Provost  Smith  and  President  French  entered  into  negotiations  for 
the  merger,  which  was  effected,  and  with  the  transfer  of  a  number  of  teachers. 
Professor  Julius  W.  Sturmer  who  had  come  from  Purdue  University  in  1912  to 
be  the  dean  of  the  school,  was  added  to  the  Faculty  of  the  College  as  pro- 
fessor of  pharmaceutical  chemistry.  Others  were  assigned  to  professorships  and 
lectureships.  The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  the  "Medico  Chi"  alumni 
came  together  in  a  hearty  union,  merging  their  interests  and  traditions  as  happily 
as  this  result  had  been  accomplished  in  the  Faculty.

Text  Books  Issued  by  the  Faculty 

The  output  of  text  books  and  other  scientific  literature  by  the  members  of  the 
Faculty  of  the  College  during  the  past  fifty  years  continued  to  attest  to  their  vitality 
as  workers  in  their  respective  fields.  Maisch  issued  his  first  manual  on  "Organic 
Materia  Medica,"  in  1881,  and,  with  Alfred  Stille,  Professor  of  the  Theory  and 
Practice  of  Medicine  and  of  Clinical  Medicine  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
first  issued  "The  National  Dispensatory,"  in  1879,  which  passed  through  a  number 
of  editions,  and  is  now  "The  National  Standard  Dispensatory." 

Remington  in  1885  issued  his  highly  important  work  called  "The  Practice  of 
Pharmacy."  The  work  was  fully  illustrated  and  by  its  clear  explanations  of  the 
manipulative  processes  necessary  in  a  drug  store  it  soon  won  for  itself  an  authorita- 
tive position  in  the  pharmaceutical  world.  It  was  destined  to  pass  through  succes- 
sive editions  and  it  has  long  been  a  standard  work.  It  contains  "a  larger  amount 
of  general  information  which  the  pharmacist  is  likely  to  need  in  the  course  of  his 
ordinary  routine  business  than  any  other  book  on  pharmacy  which  has  ever  been 
published."  No  other  work  of  its  kind  has  had  so  large  a  sale,  a  fact  which  must 
be  taken  to  be  a  measure  of  its  general  merit  and  usefulness.  (Arner.  Jour.  Phar., 
Jan.,  1886,  and  Feb.,  1906.)  Nothing  which  has  come  from  the  press,  except  the 
United  States  Dispensatory  of  Wood  and  Bache,  has  been  accounted  so  nearly  in- 
dispensable to  the  working  pharmacist. 

Sadtler's  name  appeared  upon  a  text  book  of  "Industrial  Organic  Chemistry" 
which  has  had  a  wide  circulation  in  this  country  and  England  and  has  been  translated 
into  other  languages.  In  association  with  Henry  Trimble,  he,  in  1895,  issued  a  text 
book  on  "Pharmaceutical  and  Medical  Chemistry."  This  work  has  passed  through 
a  number  of  editions. 

Remington  and  Sadtler,  with  Dr.  Horatio  C.  Wood,  in  1880,  assumed  the 
responsibility  for  the  future  revisions  of  the  United  States  Dispensatory.  Reming- 
ton later  became  the  senior  editor,  sharing  the  responsibility  with  Horatio  C.  Wood, 
Jr.,  with  the  aid  of  associates  who  gave  a  supervising  care  to  the  subjects  lying 
within  their  particular  fields  of  knowledge. 

Up  to  the  year  1896,  President  French  has  said,  there  had  been  published  200 
volumes  on  scientific  subjects  which  have  carried  the  names  of  teachers  and  profes- 
sors or  members  of  the  College  as  author  or  editor  on  the  title  page,  and  the  num- 
ber since  that  date  has  been  materially  increased.  (College  Bulletin,  Feb.,  1911.) 

Service  of  the  College  in  the  World  War 

The  services  performed  by  the  College  in  the  cause  of  pharmacy  as  this  sub- 
ject bore  upon  the  fortunes  of  the  World  War,  attained  importance.  Many  of  its 
students  and  alumni,  nearly  1 ,000  in  all,  and  several  members  of  the  Faculty,  entered 
the  army,  the  navy  and  the  marine  corps,  or  filled  civil  positions. 

With  the  reduction  in  the  number  in  attendance  upon  the  courses  the  College 
was  able  to  undertake  the  training  of  naval  hospital  corpsmen ;  150  such  students 


194       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

were  assigned  it.  This  department  was  known  as  the  United  States  Naval  Hospital 
Corpsmen  Training  School  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  under  the 
command  of  Lieutenant  W.  T.  Minnick,  M.D.  When  the  work  was  finished,  a 
second  class  of  thirty  selected  students  was  sent  to  the  College  to  be  trained.  A

number  of  professors,  among  them  La  Wall,  Stroup,  Stunner  and  Cook,  co-operated 
with  the  government  in  the  important  work  of  examining  medical,  chemical  and 
pharmaceutical  supplies  for  the  United  States  Army.

Graduates  of  Pharmacy  in  Pharmaceutical  Journalism 

As  a  rule,  the  literature  of  a  profession  is  written  first  in  its  periodicals  and 
then  into  its  text  books,  and  then  becomes  history.  In  the  publication  of  the  scien- 
tific literature  of  pharmacy,  the  pharmaceutical  press  of  the  country  has  done  splen- 
did service,  and  it  may  be  fairly  said  that,  in  this  work,  the  graduates  of  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy  who  have  followed  journalism  have  played  no  small 
part.  Among  those  whose  work  has  been  outstanding,  there  may  be  mentioned  : 
William  Procter,  Jr.,  Henry  Trimble,  Henry  Kraemer,  George  M.  Beringer  and 
Ivor  Griffith,  editors,  successively,  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  also  Henry 
V.  Arny,  C.  S.  X.  Hallberg,  Caswell  A.  Mayo  and  Eugene  G.  Eberle ;  sketches  of 
the  last  three  named  follow : 

C.  S.  N.  Hallberg 

Carl  Svante  Xicanor  Hallberg  (1856-1910).  Born  in  Helsingborg,  Sweden,  on  the  Sound, 
opposite  the  Danish  City  of  Elsinore  with  its  ancient  fort,  in  which  was  laid  the  scene  of  the 
story  of  Hamlet.  Early  education  in  public  and  private  schools.  Parents  with  young  Carl 
came  to  America  (1869),  settling  in  Altoona,  Pa.  Apprenticed  to  Dr.  S.  M.  Sellers  of  that 
city  (1870).  Came  to  Philadelphia  and  entered  employ  of  M.  K.  Smith  and  Co.,  wholesale 
druggists,  243  North  Third  Street,  then  of  E.  B.  Garrigues  and  Co.,  Fairmount  Avenue  and 
Tenth  Street,  where,  under  the  tutelage  of  Edwin  M.  Boring,  he  received  a  most  thorough 
and  practical  training  in  scientific  pharmacy.  Graduated  from  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy (1876),  subject  of  thesis  being  "Pharmaceutical  Notes.''  Went  to  Chicago  (1877), 


196       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

clerked  with  C.  F.  Hartwig  for  two  years,  and  then  engaged  in  manufacturing  pharmacy 
with  C.  G.  Wheeler.  During  1888  and  1889  was  associated  with  C.  L.  Feldkamp,  manufactur- 
ing pharmaceutical  preparations,  for  which  the  firm  was  awarded  a  gold  medal  by  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  at  its  exhibition  in  Detroit  in  1888.  Early  identified  himself  with 
pharmaceutical  journalism  (1878).  Became  editor  of  the  Druggist,  later,  the  Western  Drug- 
gist (1882-1890).  Became  professor  of  pharmacy  in  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy  and  con- 
tinued as  such  when  College  was  merged  with  University  of  Illinois  (1890-1910).  Joined 
American  Pharmaceutical  (1879),  and  Illinois  Pharmaceutical  Association  (1881).  Member 
of  Committee  on  National  Formulary  (1886-1910).  Delegate  to  Pharmacopceial  Conventions 
(1890-1900-1910),  and  a  member  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  elected  by  each  convention. 


C.   S.  N.  HALLBERG 

Contributed  many  papers  to  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  to  pharmaceutical 
periodicals,  upon  a  wide  variety  of  subjects.  Secretary  of  Section  on  Scientific  Papers  (1890- 
1891),  and  chairman  (1891-1892).  Especially  active  on  all  questions  affecting  pharmaceutical 
education  and  legislation,  instituting  statistical  reports  to  serve  as  the  basis  for  more  thorough 
and  scientific  pharmacy  laws.  Editor  of  the  "Bulletin  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  As- 
sociation" since  the  first  issue  (1906),  and  was  a  tireless  worker  in  its  behalf.  Indeed  it 
may  be  said  that,  in  all  probability,  the  monthly  Journal  of  the  Association  would  not  have  been 
established  in  1911  had  he  not  paved  the  way  by  his  preliminary  work  on  the  monthly 
Bulletin.  In  1901  he  became  a  member  of  the  Council  on  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  of  the 
American  Medical  Association ;  in  fact,  the  credit  for  the  origin  of  the  Council  was  largely 
his,  and  his  wide  pharmaceutical  knowledge  was  of  great  service  to  that  body.  A  man  of 
marked  personality  and  unusual  ability.  Courageous  at  all  times,  he  was  ever  ready  to  bat- 
tle for  his  convictions.  No  one  ever  questioned  his  honesty,  and  while  his  intense  aggressive- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       197 

ness  sometimes  bordered  on  harshness,  he  almost  invariably  won  the  respect  of  his  opponents 
by  his  frankness,  ability  and  evident  honesty.  He  was  one  of  the  great  men  of  American 
Pharmacy  in  the  constructive  work  he  did  for  the  pharmaceutical  education,  legislation  and 
journalism. 

Caswell  A.  Mayo 

Caswell  Armstrong  Mayo  was  born  (1862)  at  Columbus,  Miss.  Early  education  and  phar-

CASWKLL  A.   MAYO 

became  associated  with  William  S.  Merrell  Co.,  as  editor  of  its  publications.  In  addition  to 
his  arduous  journalistic  duties,  Mr.  Mayo  has  been  actively  identified  with  the  work  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  for  many  years,  having  been  historian,  chairman  and 
secretary  of  Section  on  Historical  Pharmacy,  vice-president  of  the .  Association  (1912)  and 
president  (1914).  He  has  high  ideals  for  American  Pharmacy  and  enthusiastically  strives 
to  achieve  them. 

Eugene  G.  Eberle 

Eugene  G.  Eberle  was  born  (1863)  at  Watertown,  Wis.  Early  education  in  public  and 
private  schools,  and  later  in  Xorthwestern  University,  at  Watertown.  Entered  employ  of 
G.  and  H.  T.  Eberle,  consisting  of  father  and  brother,  the  latter  a  graduate  of  the  class  of 
1873  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  Came  to  Philadelphia,  having  secured  a  posi- 
tion with  Charles  Shivers,  northeast  corner  of  Spruce  and  Seventh  Streets.  Graduated  from 


198       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

the  College  (1884),  the  subject  of  his  thesis  being  "Cascara  Sagrada."  Returned  to  native 
state,  and  entered  employ  of  Dunning  and  Summer,  wholesale  and  retail  druggists  at 
Madison.  Went  to  Fort  Worth,  Gainesville  and  Honey  Grove,  successively,  entering  employ 
of  J.  B.  Ryan,  and  later  became  his  partner  until  death  of  Mr.  Ryan  (1891).  Managed  busi- 
ness for  estate  and  then  came  to  Dallas  (1894)  to  help  organize  the  Texas  Drug  Company, 
wholesale  druggists  and  manufacturing  pharmacists,  having  charge  of  its  laboratory.  Did 
editorial  work  on  Texas  Druggist.  Founded  the  Southern  Pharmaceutical  Journal  (1908), 
and  was  active  in  the  Texas  Pharmaceutical  Association,  becoming  its  president  (1901- 
1902),  and  secretary  (1910-1914).  Became  member  of  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 


EUGENE  G.  EBERLE 

(1896),  and  its  president  (1910).  Was  professor  of  pharmacy  in  the  Department  of  Phar- 
macy of  the  University  of  Dallas,  which  in  1903  merged  with  Baylor  University,  and  of 
which  he  also  became  dean,  resigning  in  1915.  Member  of  U.  S.  P.  Revision  Committee 
(1910-1920).  Became  editor  of  the  Journal  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in 
1915  and  in  this  capacity  has  become  a  national  figure  in  American  Pharmacy,  rendering 
services  of  inestimable  value  in  promoting  the  development  of  scientific  pharmacy,  in  all  its 
phases;  his  loyal  and  self-sacrificing  labor  for  the  Association  has  won  the  respect  and  ap- 
preciation of  a  wide  circle  of  friends.  Is  a  thirty-third  degree  Mason. 

Changes  in  the  Courses  and  Degrees 

The  three  year  course  leading  to  the  degree  of  Doctor  in  Pharmacy  (P.D.), 
was  instituted  in  1895,  and  was  continued  to  1915,  when  it  was  replaced  by  a  two 
year  course  leading  to  the  degree  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy  (Ph.G.).  (The  last 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       199 

class  to  receive  the  degree  of  P.D.  graduated  in  1917.)  In  the  fall  of  1916,  the 
College  provided  a  post-graduate  course  of  approximately  fourteen  hundred  hours 
leading  to  the  degree  of  Ph.C,  this  course  having  been  planned  to  provide  for  con- 
trol-chemists in  pharmaceutical  manufacturing  establishments ;  it  was  based  upon 
the  two-year  course  and  a  general  education  of  four  years  of  high-school  study. 
The  degree  of  Phar.D.  was  conferred  in  1917-1918,  but  not  thereafter. 

To  meet  the  needs  of  retail  pharmacy  for  a  more  comprehensive  training  than 
was  afforded  by  the  Ph.G.  course,  the  College  in  1917  planned  a  post-graduate  year 
of  approximately  seven  hundred  hours,  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  in  Phar- 
macy. 

A  four-year  plan  of  study  was  first  offered  in  1915,  and  embraced  all  the 
branches  of  the  Ph.G.  course,  and  practically  all  the  subjects  of  the  technical  chem- 
istry course,  with  additional  laboratory  instruction  in  bacteriology  and  technical 
microscopy.  The  admission  requirement  was  four  years  of  high-school  study,  and 
the  degree  awarded,  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry.  This  course 
has  been  discontinued,  being  replaced  by  the  academic  course  of  Bachelor  of  Science 
now  being  offered  under  the  amended  College  charter  of  1920. 

The  College  has  developed,  also,  courses  in  certain  highly  specialized  lines  of 
applied  science,  as  follows  : 

1.  The  Course  in  Technical  Chemistry,  instituted  as  a  two-year  course  in  1885, 
and  subsequently  lengthened  to  three  college  years  of  ten  months  each.     It  offers 
a  thorough  training  in  analytical  chemistry  and  in  allied  sciences,  and  is  intended 
primarily   for  control  chemists  and  "works  chemists."     On  completion  of  this 
course  the  Certificate  of  Proficiency  in  Chemistry  is  awarded. 

Within  recent  years  this  course  has  been  materially  broadened  and  improved 
by  the  inclusion  of  the  subjects  of  bacteriology,  technical  microscopy,  and  certain 
additional  lecture  branches. 

2.  Instruction  in  bacteriology  was  given  as  early  as  1899,  but  a  separate  De- 
partment of  Bacteriology  was  inaugurated  in  1913. 

3.  In  1900  commercial  training  was  made  an  obligatory  branch  of  the  phar- 
macy course,  and  in  1920  a  supplementary  course  known  as  Advanced  Commercial 
Training,  was  developed,  and  offered  to  the  graduates  of  this  College  and  to  others 
interested  in  the  commercial  development  of  retail  pharmacy. 

4.  The  Course  in  Physiological  Assaying  was  added  in  1916,  and  since  that  date 
the  list  of  special  courses  has  been  augmented  by  the  following,  all  of  which  are 
still  offered : 

5.  Course  in  Technical  Microscopy. 

6.  Course  in  Advanced  Pharmacognosy. 

7.  Course  in  Clinical  Chemistry. 

8.  Course  in  Perfumery  and  Cosmetics. 

On  completion  of  any  special  course,  a  certificate  attesting  to  the  fact  is  issued. 

Bachelor  of  Science  Courses 

As  a  fitting  climax  to  one  hundred  years  of  progress,  the  charter  of  the  Col- 
lege was,  in  1920,  amended  to  grant  authority  for  the  awarding  of  the  Bachelor  of 


2OO 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 


Science  degree  in  pharmacy,  in  chemistry,  in  bacteriology,  and  in  pharmacognosy ; 
and  courses  leading  to  these  degrees,  and  in  harmony  with  accepted  academic  stand- 
ards, were  planned  and  are  now  offered. 

The  freshman  and  sophomore  years  are  devoted  to  English,  foreign  languages, 
mathematics,  physics,  chemistry  and  biology ;  the  junior  and  senior  year  to  the  pro- 
fessional branches,  an  arrangement  which  provides  for  a  liberal  education  in  science, 
and  offers  opportunity  of  specialization  in  the  professional  subjects  of  pharmacy, 
chemistry,  bacteriology,  and  pharmacognosy. 


Honorary  Degree  of  Master  in  Pharmacy 

Pharmacists  who  are  deemed  worthy  of  the  distinction,  in  recognition  of 
service  which  they  have  rendered  for  the  advancement  of  pharmacy,  may  have  con- 
ferred upon  them,  as  a  mark  of  special  honor,  by  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  the  degree  of  Master  in  Pharmacy  honoris  causa.  The  following  have

ALFRED  B.  TAYLOR 

views  of  the  members  of  the  Committee,  and  finally,  correcting  the  proofs,  etc.,  with  the 
greatest  efficiency.  Was  associated  with  Remington  in  the  preparation  of  the  first  edition  of 
the  latter's  "Practice  of  Pharmacy."  Was  the  first  to  propose  the  use  of  cacao  butter  as  a  base 
for  suppositories.  Contributed  many  papers  on  practical  pharmaceutical  subjects  to  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  pharmaceutical  periodicals.  His  faithful,  un- 
remitting devotion  to  the  best  traditions  of  his  profession  will  ever  associate  his  name  with 
the  science  of  pharmacy.

Martin  I.  Wilbert 

Martin  I.  Wilbert  (1865-1916).  Born  at  West  Leyden,  Lewis  County,  N.  Y.  German 
parentage.  Early  education  in  public  and  private  schools.  Employed  in  drug  store  of  Utica. 
Graduated  from  College  in  1890,  subject  of  thesis  being  "Aluminii  Acetas."  Owned  a  retail 
drug  store  for  a  short  time  and  then  became  chief  apothecary  of  German  Hospital  of  Philadel- 
phia, where  he  rendered  most  efficient  service.  Was  a  pioneer  in  the  use  of  the  X-Ray  in  this 


MARTIN  I.  WILBERT 

country,  making  the  first  X-Ray  machine  used  by  his  institution.  At  the  German  Hospital 
he  adopted  the  policy  of  buying  crude  drugs  and  making  all  his  preparations.  In  this  way 
he  became  deeply  interested  in  experimental  work  on  pharmaceutical  preparations  and  in 
the  literature  relating  thereto,  as  well  as  the  literature  of  pharmacy  generally.  In  1908  be- 
came an  assistant  in  the  Division  of  Pharmacology  of  the  Hygienic  Laboratory,  U.  S.  Public 
Health  Service,  where  his  work  on  the  Digest  of  Comments  on  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  (IX), 


2O4       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

and  the  National  Formulary  (IV)  excited  most  favorable  comment.  Was  an  active  member  of 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  the  Franklin  Institute,  the  American  Roentgen  Ray 
Society,  and  the  American  Medical  Association,  being  a  member  of  its  Council  on  Pharmacy 
and  Chemistry.  Was  a  member  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia 
(IX),  Committee  on  Revision  of  the  National  Formulary,  and  a  member  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy.  Was  given  the  degree  of  master  in  pharmacy  in  course  by  his  Alma 
Mater  (1903).  Contributed  many  articles  to  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy. 

"His  influence  on  medicine  and  pharmacy  was  unique.  His  knowledge  of  pharmacy  was 
such  that  he  could  have  obtained  prominence  in  the  manufacturing  field  and  with  it  come  to  a 
large  measure  of  financial  reward.  But  he  chose  to  devote  his  thoughts  and  energies  to  the 
general  good  rather  than  to  his  own  profit.  He  gave  a  life  of  service  with  never  a  thought 
of  reward  and  earned  every  honor  bestowed  upon  him."  (W.  A.  Puckner.) 


The  Spirit  of  Research 

Not  the  least  important  work  of  the  College  has  been  the  inculcation  in 
students  of  a  desire  for  original  investigation.  From  its  earliest  days,  the  College 
has  fostered  the  spirit  of  research,  and  the  thousands  who  have  gone  forth  from  its 
halls  have  carried  this  spirit  with  them.  Apart  from  the  epochal  work  done  by  those 
directly  connected  with  the  College,  like  that  of  Daniel  B.  Smith,  Wood,  Bache, 
Carson,  Procter,  Parrish,  Maisch,  Bullock,  Taylor,  Remington,  Sadtler,  Trimble, 
Bastin,  Kraemer  and  others,  including  the  present  faculty,  many  of  the  assistants, 
students  and  graduates  have  either  engaged  in  research  or  encouraged  it  in  others, 
and  published  important  findings,  to  the  advantage  of  pharmacy  and  collateral 
sciences.  Thus,  we  have  as  outstanding  figures :  C.  Lewis  Diehl,  with  his  masterly 
work  as  Reporter  on  the  Progress  of  Pharmacy  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association,  William  T.  Wenzell,  Albert  E.  Ebert,  C.  S.  N.  Hallberg,  Lucius  E. 
Sayre,  Herman  Frasch,  discoverer  of  the  famous  Frasch-method  of  mining  sulphur, 
Martin  I.  Wilbert  whose  experimental  work  on  pharmaceutical  preparations  and 
studies  of  pharmaceutical  literature  constitute  a  bright  page  in  the  history  of  Ameri- 
can Pharmacy,  and  Frank  G.  Ryan,  of  Parke,  Davis  and  Company ;  also  Frederick 
B.  Power,  of  the  Bureau  of  Chemistry,  Department  of  Agriculture,  with  his  masterly 
work  in  the  Wellcome  Research  Laboratories  of  London,  Edward  Kremers,  of  the 
University  of  Wisconsin,  Henry  V.  Amy,  of  the  College  of  Pharmacy  of  the  City 
of  New  York,  George  M.  Beringer,  of  Camden,  N.  J.,  Josiah  K.  Lilly,  of  Eli  Lilly 
and  Company,  and  Milton  Campbell  and  H.  K.  Mulford,  of  the  H.  K.  Mulford 
Company,  for  their  development  of  the  manufacturing  of  biologies. 

As  Henry  H.  Rusby  writes  us :  "Next  to  the  work  itself,  the  most  important 
feature  of  research  work  is  its  reactions  on  the  workers.  All  the  results  secured 
are,  in  a  broad  sense,  insignificant  as  compared  with  the  effects  of  the  work  itself 
upon  the  people  who  work ;  and  this  is  true  of  all  efforts  for  higher  things."  The 
spirit  of  research  of  the  College  has  not  only  produced  a  rich  harvest  of  achieve- 
ments within  its  walls,  and  among  those  who  have  fared  forth  from  it,  but  it  has 
engendered  a  like  spirit  in  others.  Thus,  among  the  foremost  of  research  workers 
which  this  country  has  produced,  there  may  be  mentioned :  Edward  R.  Squibb, 
whose  constructive  work  in  the  upbuilding  of  American  manufacturing  pharmacy 
has  challenged  the  admiration  of  the  pharmaceutical  world ;  Charles  Rice,  whose 
scholarship  and  research  in  everything  that  pertained  to  pharmacopoeias,  formu- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       205 

laries  and  the  progress  of  scientific  pharmacy  stands  out  as  a  beacon-light  for  others 
to  follow ;  Henry  H.  Rusby,  whose  studies  upon  the  American  flora,  especially  of 
the  South  American  countries,  through  which  he  has  traveled  so  extensively,  have 
been  of  the  highest  economic  and  industrial  importance,  and  John  Uri  Lloyd,  whose 
comprehensive  researches  in  pharmacy  and  allied  sciences  have  been  of  potential 
influence  in  promoting  its  growth  and  development. 

The  spirit  of  research  is  world  wide  and  it  is  especially  pleasing  to  note  the 
research  work  of  the  Wellcome  Research  Laboratories  of  London,  England,  and  of 
Khartoum,  Africa,  because  the  work  has  been  of  the  highest  scientific  value.  The 
founder  of  these  laboratories,  Henry  S.  Wellcome,  the  head  of  Burroughs,  Well- 
come &  Co.,  London,  manufacturers  of  fine  chemicals  and  galenicals,  with  estab- 
lishments in  the  United  States,  Italy,  Canada,  Australia,  India,  China,  and  other 
countries,  graduated  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  the  days  of  Proc- 
ter, Maisch  and  Bridges.  From  the  beginning  of  his  career,  Mr.  Wellcome  made 
original  scientific  research  and  strictly  ethical  methods  the  foundation  of  his  life 
work,  and  to  this  policy  is  attributed  the  unique  and  universal  reputation  of  the 
firm. 

Apart  from  the  research  and  experimental  laboratories  at  his  firm's  works 
which  have  to  their  credit  an  immense  number  of  important  original  researches, 
Mr.  Wellcome  has  established  several  scientific  institutions  which  are  co-ordinated 
and  under  separate  direction.  The  directors  and  staffs  of  these  institutions  are 
men  of  high  attainments,  and  some  of  them  are  scientists  of  wide  repute.  In  this 
connection  it  may  be  noted  that  a  specially  appointed  committee  of  the  American 
"Chemical  Foundation  (Inc.  1921),"  in  a  recent  report  states:  "Probably  the 
Laboratories  in  England  which  have  done  the  most  co-operative  work  on  the 
relations  of  chemistry  to  physiology  and  pharmacology  are  the  Wellcome  Research 
Laboratories." 

The  institutions  referred  to  are : 

I.  The    Physiological    Research    Laboratories,    Langley    Court,    Beckenham,    Kent,    near 
London,  were  founded  by  Mr.  Wellcome,  in  1894.     The  activities  of  this  institution  cover  a 
wide   field   of   therapeutic  investigation,   being   devoted   to   serological,   bacteriological,  and 
pharmacological  inquiries.     They  are  concerned  in  the  production  of  preventive  and  cura- 
tive sera  and  bacterial  preparations.    These  laboratories  were  pioneers  in  serum  research  and 
produced  the  first  anti-diptheria  serum  introduced  to  the  medical  profession  in  the  British 
Empire  and  in  the  United  States. 

During  the  World  War  extensive  research  in  this  institution  led  to  the  development  of 
various  sera  and  vaccines  which  proved  of  great  importance  and  assistance  to  the  Allies. 

From  the  beginning  the  pharmacological  work  has  been  associated  with  research  on  the 
purely  physiological  problems  thereby  suggested  and  which  it  involves.  Methods  were 
originated  and  developed  for  controlling  and  standardizing  by  physiological  experiment,  the 
activity  of  those  potent  drugs  to  which  chemical  methods  of  assay  are  not  applicable. 

II.  The  Chemical  Research  Laboratories,  6  King  Street,  London,  were  founded  by  Mr. 
Wellcome  in  1896,  and  Dr.  F.  B.  Power  was  the  director  of  them  for  eighteen  and  a  half 
years.     These  laboratories  are  devoted  to  a  wide  range  of  investigations  in  various  depart- 
ments of  organic  and  inorganic  chemistry.     The  researches  have  been  of  the  most  varied 
character  comprising  problems  in  both  pure  and  applied  chemistry,  and  the  synthetic  pro- 
duction of  various  substances.     They  have  included  the  complete  examination  of  a  very 
large  number  of  plants  and  vegetable  products  from  all  parts  of  the  world,  especially  such 
as  are  likely  to  be  of  value  in  the  treatment  of  disease. 


206       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

III.  The  Bureau  of  Scientific  Research,  25-26-27  Endsleigh  Gardens,  London,  and  the 
auxiliary   Entomological  Research   Laboratory  at   Witley  in   Surrey,   were   founded  by   Mr. 
Wellcome  in  1913,  and  are  intended  to  advance  the  cause  of  science  in  various  directions. 
The  Central  Bureau  is  chiefly  concerned  with  research  in  connection  with  tropical  medicine 
and  hygiene,  especially  researches  in  bacteriology,  parasitology  and  sanitation.     The  regular 
work   of  the   institution   was   interrupted   by   the   outbreak   of   the   World   War,   when   Mr. 
Wellcome  placed  the  Bureau  and  its  staff  fully  at  the  disposal  of  the  British  War  Department. 
During  the  War  the  Government  sent  the  Director-in-Chief  of  the  Bureau,  Colonel  Andrew 
Balfour  and  his  First  Assistant,  Colonel  C.  M.  Wenyon,  to  the  various  fighting  fronts  as 
advisory  Commissioners  to  study  and  investigate  the  many  medical  and  sanitary  problems 
and  to  advise  and  report  on  the  same.     In  the  course  of  the  War,  Colonel  Balfour  visited 
practically  every  important  field  of  operation.    The  other  members  of  the  staff  of  the  Bureau 
were  engaged   in   army   medical   research   work  and   in   training  army   medical   officers    for 
tropical  and  sub-tropical  war  areas. 

This  Bureau  exists  not  only  for  the  purposes  of  research  but  also  to  supply  information 
gratis  to  medical  men,  sanitary  administrators,  and  others  interested  in  Tropical  Medicine 
and  Hygiene.  Furthermore,  it  sends  out  highly  trained  experts  to  tropical  and  other 
countries  to  prosecute  researches  in  respect  to  local  problems. 

IV.  The  Museum  of  Tropical  Medicine  and  Hygiene,  London,  founded  by  Mr.  Wellcome 
in  1913,  is  affiliated  with  the  Bureau  of  Scientific  Research,  and  contains  an  extensive  col- 
lection of  objects,  pictures,  etc.,  illustrating  in  a  graphic  manner  the  subjects  of   Tropical 
Diseases  and   Hygiene.     The  purpose  of  its   foundation   was  to   aid  medical  men,   sanitary 
officers  and  others  engaged  in  the  study  of  problems  of  tropical  diseases  and  sanitation. 

V.  The  Historical  Medical  Museum,  S4A  Wigmore  Street,  London,  was  founded  by  Mr. 
Wellcome  in  1913.     It  contains  a  vast  collection  of  original  objects,  paintings,  engravings, 
etc.,  illustrating  the  history  of  medicine,  surgery,  chemistry,  pharmacy  and  allied  sciences  from 
the  earliest  times.     This   Historical   Museum   is  international   and   the   collecting  of   these 
exhibits  from  all  parts  of  the  world  has  occupied  much  of  Mr.  Wellcome's  time  for  many 
years.     The  Museum  is  affiliated  with  his  various  research  institutions  and  is  intended  to 
serve  as  an  educational  aid  to  medical  men,  surgeons,  chemists,  pharmacists,  scientists  and 
other  research  workers  and  students  who  may  be  interested. 

VI.  The  Wellcome  Tropical   Research   Laboratories,   Khartoum,   A.   E.    Sudan,   Africa, 
and  the  fully  equipped  auxiliary  Floating  Tropical  Research  Laboratory  on  the  Upper  Xile, 
founded  by  Mr.  Wellcome  in  1902,  are  intended  to  serve  the  following  purposes : 

(a)   To  promote  technical  education. 

(&)  To  promote  the  study,  bacteriologically  and  physiologically  of  tropical  disorders, 
especially  the  infective  diseases  of  both  man  and  beast  peculiar  to  the  Sudan,  and  to 
render  assistance  to  the  officers  of  health,  and  to  the  clinics  of  the  civil  and  military 
hospitals. 

(c)  To  aid  experimental  investigations  in  poisoning  cases  by  the  detection  of  toxic  agents, 
particularly  the  obscure  potent  substances  employed  by  the  natives. 

(d)  To  carry  out  such  chemical  and  bacteriological  tests  in  connection  with  water,  food 
stuffs,  and  health  and  sanitary  matters  as  may  be  found  desirable. 

\e)  To  undertake  the  testing  and  assaying  of  agricultural,  mineral  and  other  substances 
of  practical  interest  in  the  industrial  development  of  the  Sudan. 

At  a  meeting  in  London,  February,  1922,  of  the  Governing  Board  of  the 
Gordon  College,  Khartoum,  with  which  these  Laboratories  are  affiliated,  the  chair- 
man, General  Sir  Reginal  Wingate  (for  twenty  years  Governor-General  of  the 
Sudan)  stated:  "We  must  readily  acknowledge  the  immense  benefits  conferred  on 
the  country  by  the  institution  of  the  Wellcome  Tropical  Research  Laboratories. 
Their  generous  founder  is  still  with  us,  constant  in  his  endeavor  to  maintain  tropical 
research  and  all  it  entails  at  its  present  high  standard  of  efficiency." 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       207 

From  his  early  childhood  days,  when  he  discovered  a  Neolithic  stone  imple- 
ment amongst  the  ancient  Indian  mounds  in  Wisconsin,  Mr.  Wellcome  has  been  a 
keen  student  of  archaeology.  During  one  of  his  expeditions  to  the  Sudan,  after 
Kitchener's  reconquest,  he  discovered  several  important  prehistoric  Ethiopian  arch- 
aeological sites  in  the  Upper  Nile  region,  to  the  west  of  Abyssinia,  and  he  has 
since  carried  out  under  his  personal  direction,  extensive  excavations  and  researches 
at  those  sites,  with  very  fruitful  results.  In  this  undertaking  he  has  employed  a 
technical  and  administrative  staff  of  twenty-five  Europeans  and  more  than  three 
thousand  native  workmen.  Professor  G.  A.  Reisner  of  Harvard  University,  the 
greatest  living  authority  on  Oriental  archaeology,  writing  of  this  work,  says :  "The 
excavations  carried  out  by  H.  S.  Wellcome  have  thrown  an  unexpected  light  on 
early  Ethiopian  history  in  this  region.  For  the  first  time  a  scientific  archaeological 
record  has  been  made  of  a  site  in  the  interior  of  Africa." 


HENRY  S.  WELLCOME 

Henry  S.  Wellcome,  the  son  of  a  clergyman,  was  born  in  Wisconsin,  in  the  region  of 
the  Chippewa  and  Menominee  Indian  Tribes.  When  about  five  years  of  age  he,  with  his 
parents  and  a  party  of  several  other  families,  migrated  westward,  trecking  across  the  wild 
open  country  by  day  in  covered  wagons,  called  Prairie  Schooners ;  they  halted,  coralled 
and  camped  at  night.  Their  destination  was  Garden  City,  a  small  but  thriving  frontier  settle- 
ment in  Minnesota,  located  between  the  Sioux  and  Winnebago  Indian  Tribes,  in  "The  Land 
of  Hiawatha,"  not  far  from  "The  Falls  of  Minnehaha,  The  Merry  Laughing  Water"  and  near 


208       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

to  the  sacred  Red  Pipestone  Quarry  where  the  Tribal  Pipes  of  Peace  were  wrought.  The 
environment  was  inspiring  and  primeval  nature  fair  to  see.  The  strenuous  unconventional 
frontier  life  presented  many  delightful  experiences  and  happy  associations  but  also  involved 
many  severe  hardships  and  grave  difficulities  which  required  the  utmost  fortitude  to  surmount. 

Wellcome's  primary  education  at  Garden  City  was  first  in  a  typical  frontier  log  school- 
house,  but  as  the  pioneer  settlement  prospered,  superior  buildings  were  erected  and  higher 
grade  schools  established. 

While  still  very  young,  a  highly  qualified  English  chemist  came  to  Garden  City,  was 
appointed  manager  of  a  local  pharmacy,  and  Wellcome,  outside  his  school  hours,  received 
from  him  practical  training  in  chemistry,  pharmacy  and  materia  medica,  making  such  progress 
that  when  thirteen  years  of  age  he  was  appointed  assistant  dispenser. 

When  seventeen  years  old  he  had  attained  such  proficiency  that  he  was  placed  in 
charge  of  the  dispensing  department  of  Poole  &  Geisinger's  Pharmacy,  Rochester,  Min- 
nesota. After  two  years'  practical  experience  at  Rochester,  he  went  to  Chicago,  arriving 
immediately  after  the  great  fire.  He  took  a  position  in  the  pharmacy  of  Thomas  Whitefield 
and  attended  the  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy  for  one  year,  then  came  east  and  entered 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  where  he  continued  his  duties  and  graduated  in  the 
class  of  1874,  with  his  friend  Frederick  B.  Power. 

Wellcome  then  went  to  New  York  and  took  a  position  with  Caswell,  Hazard  &  Co.  His 
keen  love  of  research  at  this  early  period  was  evidenced  by  his  numerous  investigations,  the 
results  of  which  were  published  in  the  Proceedings  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion, the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  and  various  other  periodicals  in  America  and  abroad. 
At  this  time  he  was  offered  the  editorship  of  an  important  pharmaceutical  journal.  This  offer 
he  declined,  but  after  two  years'  service  with  Caswell,  Hazard  &  Co.,  he  resigned  and  accepted 
an  important  position  with  McKesson  &  Robbins,  New  York,  in  connection  with  their  manu- 
facturing department.  They  sent  him  on  special  missions  to  various  parts  of  the  United 
States  and  Canada,  and  into  Mexico,  Central  and  South  America.  While  in  South  America, 
he  studied  the  native  Cinchona  forests,  his  account  of  which  was  read  before  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association  and  published  in  its  Proceedings. 

The  English  chemist,  under  whose  guidance  Wellcome  studied  at  Garden  City  in  his 
early  youth,  had  loaned  him  various  English  scientific  publications  and  told  him  much  about 
England,  her  extensive  libraries,  museums  and  educational  institutions,  and  described  the 
unique  industrial  and  commercial  advantages  of  London  as  the  greatest  distributing  and 
financial  center  of  the  world.  While  connected  with  McKesson  &  Robbins,  he  discussed 
this  subject  with  his  friend  S.  M.  Burroughs  (P.  C.  P.  Class  of  1877),  who  offered  to 
enter  into  partnership  with  him  to  establish  chemical  and  pharmaceutical  works  in  England. 
As  a  result,  Wellcome  resigned  his  position  with  McKesson  &  Robbins,  and  the  firm  of 
Burroughs,  Wellcome  &  Co.,  was  founded  in  London  in  1880.  (Burroughs  died  in  1895). 

Wellcome  has  always  been  an  indefatigable  student,  unceasing  in  his  quest  for  knowledge, 
and  a  strenuous,  systematic  worker.  Personally,  he  is  modest  and  unassuming,  genial  and 
kindly  in  manner  and  leads  a  simple,  though  busy  life.  He  is  magnanimous  in  promoting 
scientific  research  and  worthy  benefactions.  As  a  pioneer  in  welfare  work  he  provided 
clubs  and  institutions  with  technical  instruction,  and  a  park,  sports  fields,  and  gymnasiums 
for  the  educational  and  social  betterment  of  his  staff  and  employees  generally. 

For  many  years  Wellcome  has  enjoyed  the  close  friendship  of  a  great  number  of  the 
most  eminent  men  in  the  various  fields  of  science  and  public  life  in  America  and  Europe. 
He  has  done  much  to  promote  a  better  understanding  between  the  United  States  and  the 
British  Empire.  He  was  a  founder  and  the  second  president  of  the  American  Society  in 
London,  which  has  for  many  years  rendered  valuable  service  in  fostering  cordial  relations 
amongst  the  English-speaking  peoples.  During  the  South  African  War,  he  bore  the  entire 
cost  of  the  medical  and  surgical  equipment  of  the  American  Hospital  Ship  Maine. 

In  1903  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  conferred  upon  him  the  honorary  degree 
of  master  in  pharmacy.  As  an  expression  of  his  high  regard  for  his  Alma  Mater,  he  presented 
to  the  College  in  1905  a  massive  gold-plated  silver  loving  cup,  which  under  the  present  rules 
will  be  awarded  to  the  B.Sc.  graduating  class  attaining  to  advanced  scholarship.

Research  may  be  defined  as  the  original  investigation  of  facts  or  principles.  It 
is  a  science  or  an  art  or  both.  It  may  be  a  determination  or  an  interpretation,  but  it 
must  be  original  and  it  must  be  truth.  It  is  not  confined  to  the  natural  sciences,  it 
may  be  historical,  musical,  economic,  etc.  Herein  are  given  the  names  (and 
biographies)  of  those  who,  it  is  believed,  have  been  the  master  research  workers  of 
American  Pharmacy  during  the  past  century,  who  have  done  the  most  worth 
while  work  in  stimulating  scientific  pharmaceutical  research  in  this  country.  There 
are  many  other  research  workers  whose  work  has  been  most  praiseworthy,  but  it 
has  not  been,  we  believe,  so  wide  in  scope  and  potent  in  influence  upon  the  devel- 
opment of  American  Pharmacy  as  the  work  of  those  named.

Biographies  of  the  Master  Research  Workers  of  American  Pharmacy 

1.  Daniel  B.  Smith:    (Under  Chapter  XI). 

2.  William  Procter,  Jr.:    (Under  Chapter  XI). 

3.  Edward  R.  Squibb.     Born   (1819)   in  Wilmington,  Delaware.     Parents,  James  R.  and 
Catherine   H.    Squibb.     Early   education   in   Wilmington.     Learned   the   drug   business   with 
Warder   Morris,   of   Philadelphia;    later   Warder   Morris   and   J.   H.   Sprague    (1837-1842). 
Graduated  from  Jefferson  Medical  College  in  1845.    Practiced  medicine  in  Philadelphia  until 
1847,  when  he  became  assistant  surgeon  in  U.  S.  Navy.     Saw  active  sea  service   for  four 
years.     Ordered  to  Naval  Hospital  in  Brooklyn,  directed  by  Dr.  Benjamin  Franklin  Bache. 
When  the  pharmaceutical  laboratory  of  the  Navy  Department  was  authorized  in  1852,  Bache 
was  made  its  director  and  Squibb  its  assistant  director.    Here  he  gained  a  practical  experience 
in  manufacturing  that  was  destined  to  yield  most  important  results.    In  1857  he  resigned  from 
the  Navy  and  the  following  year  established  a  manufacturing  pharmaceutical  laboratory  of  his 
own   in    Brooklyn.     With   the   outbreak   of    the   Civil   War    (1861),   the    demand    for   the 
Squibb  products  enormously  increased.    He  had  unusual  mechanical  ability  and  loved  research, 
and  he  abhored  secrecy,  freely  disclosing  his  discoveries  to  all,  even  to  competitors.     His 
articles  in  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  the  Proceedings  of  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association  and  his  own  Ephcmeris,  were  many  and  of  great  practical  and  scientific 
value.     His  Ephemeris,  a  periodical  dedicated  to  medicine  and  pharmacy,  was  unique  and 
characteristic.     It  disseminated  thousands  of  pages  of  the  most  useful  and  practical  drug 
information  and  was  issued  gratuitously  as  seemed  to  be  required.    It  had  no  subscription  list. 
He  took  an  active  part  in  the  development  and  improvement  of  the  Pharmacopoeia  beginning 
with  the  1860  revision.     Became  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in 
1858,  and  of  many  pharmaceutical  and  medical  bodies,  and  was  an  honorary  member  of  the 
British  Pharmaceutical  Conference  and  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great  Britain.    The 
degree  of  master  in  pharmacy  honoris  causa  was  conferred  upon  him  by  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  in  1894.    He  died  October  25,  1900. 

Squibb  had  striking  individuality.  "He  consecrated  his  life  to  the  object  of  furnishing 
honest  medicines  for  the  relief  of  disease,  and  naturally  his  laboratory  work  had  the  first 
place ;  morning,  noon  and  night  found  him  there.  Habits  of  order  and  cleanliness  he  instilled 
in  all  who  were  under  his  guidance  or  instruction.  He  hated  a  lie,  even  a  little  one,  and  he 
was  always  the  soul  of  honor.  He  delighted  in  original  investigation  if  it  had  any  bearing 
upon  making  medicines.  Abstract  subjects  he  took  little  interest  in,  he  would  not  waste  time 
upon  anything  which  he  did  not  believe  productive  of  results  of  immediate  practical  value 
to  mankind.  His  standards  of  purity  for  pharmaceutical  products  were  the  highest  attain- 
able. He  never  hesitated  to  share  with  others  the  benefits  of  his  great  ingenuity  and  wide 
experience,  so  that  his  services  to  his  profession  were  far  reaching,  not  only  on  account  of  the 
enormous  volume  of  work  he  accomplished,  but  also,  because  he  enabled  others  to  do  much." 
(Joseph  P.  Remington.)  He  never  yielded  to  any  course  of  doubtful  morality,  and  he  often 
stood  alone,  his  motto  being:  "God  and  one  are  a  majority." 

4.  Emil  Scheffer.   Born  (1821)  at  Stuttgart,  Wurtemberg.   Son  of  Carl  L.  F.  and  Marie  M. 
Scheffer.     Early  education  in  public  schools.     Apprenticed  to  apothecary  of  Tuebingen,  and 
attended  the  Polytechnicum,  then  the  University  of  Tuebingen.     Came  to  America   (1849), 
journeyed  to  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  and  entered  the  employ  of  Charles  Schmidt;    later  (1850)  of 
widow  of  F.  W.  Kniess  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  and  developed  the  business  so  successfully  that  he 
was  admitted  to  full  partnership  (1852),  "the  compact  being  sealed  by  the  gift  of  her  heart 
and  hand"  (Diehl).    Continued  in  business  until  1882.    Became  much  interested  in  the  study 
of  pepsin,  and  upon  his  researches  the  modern  pepsin  industry  has  been  built.    He  communi- 
cated his  process  of  pepsin  manufacture  to  the  world  in  1872.     As  Diehl  has  written,  "In 
revealing  his  process  for  the  manufacture  of  'saccharated  pepsin'  to  the  world,  Scheffer  un- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       217 

doubtedly  gave  the  incentive  to  the  more  intelligent  and  comprehensive  study  of  the  pro- 
teolytic  ferments,  and  these,  in  their  turn,  have  encouraged  the  investigation  and  study  of 
biological  products  in  general."  Was  a  founder  of  the  Louisville  College  of  Pharmacy,  also, 
director  (1866-1889),  president  (1884-1888),  treasurer  (1888-1889),  and  professor  of  materia 
medica  and  botany  (1871-1884).  Became  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation (1872),  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  (1880-1890),  also,  a 
commissioner  of  pharmacy  of  Kentucky  (1874-1882).  He  died  January  22,  1902.  He  con- 
tributed a  number  of  research  articles  to  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  especially  on 
the  subject  of  pepsin.

6.  John  M.  Maisch:     (Under  Chapter  XI). 

7.  Albert  B.  Prescott.    Born  (1832)  at  Hastings,  N.  Y.,  graduated  in  medicine  at  Univer- 
sity of   Michigan   (1864)  ;   assistant   surgeon,   U.   S.   V.,    (1864-65)  ;   assistant  professor  of 
chemistry  in  University  of  Michigan    (1865)  ;    professor  of  organic  and  applied  chemistry 
(1870),  and  dean  of  the  School  of  Pharmacy  (1876).  Received  degree  of  doctor  of  philosophy 
(1886),  and  the  honorary  degree  of  doctor  of  laws  from  University  of  Michigan  (1896),  and 
by  the  Northwestern  University  (1903).     Became  president  of  the  American  Association  for 
the  Advancement  of  Science  (1891),  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association   (1899-1900), 
the  American  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical  Faculties   (1900),  and  the  American  Chemical 
Society  (1902),  and  became  a  fellow  of  the  Chemical  Society  of  London  (1876),  a  member 
of  the  American   Philosophical   Society    (1898),   and   an   honorary   member   of   the   British 
Pharmaceutical    Conference    (1891).      Was    an    active    member    of    the    Committee   of    Re- 
vision of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia   (1880-1890),  and  was  made  an  honorary  member  of  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy   (1902).     Was  the  author  of  a  number  of  text  books— 
"Qualitative  Chemical  Analysis"   (1874),  "Outlines  of  Proximate  Organic  Analysis"   (1875), 
"Chemistry  of  Alcoholic   Liquors"    (1875),   "Morphiometric   Processes   for  Opium"    (1878), 
"First  Book  of  Qualitative  Chemistry"   (1879),  "Nostrums   in  their  Relation  to  the  Public 
Health''    (1881),  and  "Manual  of  Organic  Analysis"    (1888).     He  did  a  large  amount  of 
original  research  work;  his  work  on  the  composition  of  alkaloidal-periodides  having  been 
described  by  Victor  C.  Vaughan  as  probably  Prescott's  opus  magnum.    His  contributions  to 
scientific  periodicals  were  many.     He  died  in   1905.     His  life  was  devoted  to  high  ideals, 
and  he  rendered  services  of  inestimable  value  to  the  progress  of  scientific  pharmacy  and  the 
elevation  of  pharmaceutical  education  by  his  earnest  and  consistent  adherence  to  advanced 
standards.    And  with  this,  he  was  a  singularly  unselfish,  modest,  helpful,  generous  and  lovable 
man. 

8.  C.  Lewis  Diehl.    Born  (1840)  at  Neustadt  A.  H.,  in  the  Palatinate  (Rhenish  Bavaria). 
Father  came  to  this  country  and  located  on  a  farm  in  Southern  Illinois,  family  joining  him 
in  1851.    Early  education  in  public  schools.    Apprenticed  with  Dr.  John  R.  Angney,  of  Phila- 
delphia.    Graduated  from  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1862.    Chief  of  laboratory  of 
John  Wyeth  and  Brother.    Enlisted  in  15th  Pennsylvania  Regiment  in  Civil  War.    Wounded 
at  Stone's  River.    Discharged  from  service  in  1863.    Obtained  position  in  U.  S.  Army  Labora- 
tory in  Philadelphia  (until  1865).     Reorganized  Louisville  Chemical  Works.     Opened  retail 
store  in  Louisville  (1869).    Reporter  on  the  Progress  of  Pharmacy  of  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association   (1873-1891;  1894-1915.)     A  founder  of  the  Louisville  College  of  Phar- 
macy, being  its  president  during  the  first  ten  years,  then  its  professor  of  pharmacy.     Member 
of  first  state  board  of  pharmacy  of  Kentucky.     One  of  the  foremost  research  workers  of 
the  country  and  a  frequent  contributor  to  pharmaceutical  literature.     Received  honorary  de- 
gree of  master  in  pharmacy  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1887.     He  died 
in  1917.     He  will  be  remembered  in  American  Pharmacy  long  after  many  of  his  contempo- 
raries have  been   forgotten.     For  thirty-eight  years  he  was  Reporter   on  the   Progress  of 
Pharmacy  and  for  twenty-eight  years  most  actively  identified  with  the  work  of  the  National 


218       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Formulary.  But  it  was  not  the  number  of  his  years  of  service  that  made  them  so  worth 
while;  it  was  the  high  scientific  quality  of  his  work,  rendered  possible  by  his  analytical  mind, 
his  well  balanced  judgment  and  his  whole-hearted  devotion  to  the  profession  he  loved  so  well. 
His  work  was  constructive,  never  destructive,  he  was  no  politician,  and  his  labor  for  phar- 
macy will  bear  fruit  through  the  years  to  come  and  be  a  lasting  memorial  to  him. 

9.  Charles  Rice.    Born  (1841)  in  Munich  of  Austrian  parents  and  educated  in  public  and 
private  schools.    Came  to  the  United  States  during  the  Civil  War.    Gained  first  pharmaceutical 
experience  as  a  surgeon's  steward  in  sloop-of-war  "Jamestown'"  bound  for  a  cruise  around  the 
world.     Returning  to  this  country,  he  was  seized  with  malaria  and  taken  to  the  Bellevue 
Hospital  of  New  York  City,  and  upon  recovery  was  made  an  assistant  in  the  drug  department; 
and  later,  chemist  of  the  general  drug  department,  and  subsequently,  also,  of  the  Department 
of  Public  Charities  and  Correction,  which  offices  he  held  until  his  demise.     Became  eminent 
as  a  philologist,  having  an  international  reputation.     It  is  said  that  he  could  read  twenty 
languages  and  converse  fluently  in  eight  others,  while  as  a  Sanskrit  scholar  he  became  world- 
famous.     The  bibliography  of  his  pharmaceutical  writings  would  require  many  pages,  but  it 
was  as  chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeias  of  1880,  1890  and  1900, 
that  he  became  best  known,  not  only  as  an  original  investigator,  but  also  as  an  efficient  organ- 
izer.  Was  chairman  of  the  editing  committee  of  the  "Xew  York  and  Brooklyn  Formulary"  in 
1884,  and  chairman  of  the  committee  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  to  convert 
this  book  into  the  "National  Formulary."     Was  associate  editor  of  "Xew  Remedies,"  later 
merged  into  the  "American  Druggist"  (1876-1891).  Was  elected  trustee  of  the  Xew  York  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy  in  1870.  Was  given  the  honorary  degree  of  doctor  of  philosophy  by  the  Xew 
York  University,  and  honorary  degree  of  master  in  pharmacy  by  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy  (1891).    Was  an  active  honorary  fellow  of  the  Xew  York  Academy  of  Medicine, 
and  held  honorary  and  active  membership  in  many  foreign  and  American  scientific  bodies. 
Joined  the   American   Pharmaceutical   Association  in   1870;    was   its   first  vice-president   in 
1883-1884,    and    Reporter    on    the    Progress    of    Pharmacy    from    1891    to    1892.      Fie    died

10.  Albert  B.  Lyons.     Born   (1841)  at  Waimea,  Hawaii,  son  of  Rev.  Lorenzo  Lyons,  a 
missionary  on  the  island  of  Hawaii.     Early  education  in  public  schools,  and  Oahu  College. 
Entered  Williams  College,  Massachusetts,  graduating  in  1865.    Taught  chemistry  and  physics 
at  Eagleswood  Military  Academy,  Perth  Amboy,  N.  J.     Took  medical  and  pharmaceutical 
courses  at  University  of  Minnesota  and  graduated.    Because  especially  interested  in  the  study 
of  alkaloids,  was  made  assistant  and  then  professor  of   chemistry  at   Detroit   College  of 
Medicine    (1889-1901).     Opened   retail   drug   store   in   Detroit,   conducted   it   for  ten   years, 
and  then  went  into  partnership  with  A.  B.  Stevens.    In  1881,  severed  his  connection  with  retail 
pharmacy  and  accepted  a  position  with  Parke,  Davis  and  Company  as  analytical  and  consulting 
chemist.    Here  he  became  impressed  with  the  necessity  of  standardizing  the  fluid  extracts  of 
alkaloidal  drugs,  and  his  standards  of  nearly  forty  years  ago  have  remained  practically  un- 
changed and  have  received  official  sanction.    By  reason  of  his  work  on  this  subject,  he  may 
be  called  the  founder  of  alkaloidal  assaying  in  America,  being  the  author  of  the  first  text- 
book on  the  subject,  a  "Manual  of  Pharmaceutical  Assaying"  (1887).     Became  editor  of  the 
Pharmaceutical  Era  (1887),  then  published  in  Detroit  (1887-1891),  and  was  appointed  (1888), 
Government  Chemist  for  the  Hawaiian  islands.     Went  to  Honolulu,  and  became,  also,  pro- 
fessor of  chemistry  and  other  natural  sciences  in  the  Oahu  College.    Was  a  member  of  the 
Committee  of  Revision  (1890,  1910),  and  chairman  of  the  sub-committee  on  tables.    Returned 
to  Detroit  (1907),  took  charge  of  the  chemical  department  of  Nelson,  Baker  &  Co.    Member 
of  American  Pharmaceutical  Association   (since  1885),  secretary  of  scientific  section   (1887, 
1897),  and  was  chairman  of  section  on  education  and  legislation  (1898)  ;  and  a  member  of  the 
committee   on   U.    S.    Pharmacopoeia   of   the   Association.      Member   of   the   Committee   of 
Revision   of   the   U.    S.    Pharmacopoeia    (1900,    1910),    and    has   done   most   valuable    work- 
on  the  official  tables  and  assay  processes.    Revised  his  "Manual  of  Pharmaceutical  Assaying" 
in  1899,  changing  the  title  to  "Practical  Assaying  of  Drugs  and  Galenicals,"  and  recently  has 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       219 

issued  an  entirely  new  book  on  the  "Practical  Standardization  of  Organic  Drugs."  In  1890  he 
published  his  work  on  Botanical  Synonyms  entitled  "Plant  Names,  Scientific  and  Popular," 
and  has  recently  revised  this  work.  No  less  an  authority  than  Henry  H.  Rusby,  accords  Dr. 
Lyons  as  the  highest  authority  in  this  country  on  botanical  nomenclature  and  synonyms.  The 
British  Chemical  and  Pharmaceutical  Societies  have  recognized  his  abilities  and  honored  him, 
as  has  also  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  by  electing  him  an  honorary  president 
(1913-1914).  Wilbur  S.  Scoville  has  said  of  him:  "His  extreme  modesty  has  held  him  back 
from  public  prominence  and  has  made  him  appear  to  be  indifferent  to  public  honors.  Yet  his 
is  not  the  indifference  of  selfishness,  but  only  a  difference  in  the  estimation  of  values.  Friend- 
ship he  values  highly,  but  flattery  cannot  deceive  him."  He  is  honored  in  American  Pharmacy 
not  only  for  his  research  achievements,  but  also  for  his  remarkable  versatility  as  a  scientist 
and  his  strength  of  mind  and  character.

Essex  County,  N.  J.,  at  the  Centennial  Exposition   (1876),  and  received  medal.     Made  an 
agent  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution  in  1880,  and  toured  New  Mexico  for  eighteen  months 
in  its  service.     Was  sent  in  1883  by  Parke,  Davis  &  Co.,  to  study  the  medicinal  plants  of 
Arizona,  and  in   1885  to  study  the  coca  industry,  cocaine  just  then  coming  into  use  as  a 
remedial  agent.    Crossed  the  South  American  continent  and  discovered  Cocillana ;   also  intro- 
duced Pichi  to  medicinal  use  in  the  United  States.    Brought  back  45,000  specimens,  represent- 
ing 4,000  species,  many  formerly  unknown.     Submitted  to  the  Pan-American  Medical  Con- 
gress, on  his  return,  a  plan  for  the  systematic  examination  of  American  flora,  which  was 
adopted.     Explored  Venezuela  in  1896  for  botanical  specimens.     In  1916,  explored  the  moun-

recently  had  conferred  upon  him  by  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  the  honorary 
degree  of  master  in  pharmacy.  He  is  strong,  self-reliant,  and  positive  in  his  opinions,  and 
unalterably  opposed  to  those  who  are  guided  by  policy  rather  than  principle.  His  research 
work  in  botany  and  pharmacognosy  has  been  of  the  highest  economic  and  industrial 
importance.

First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       221 

A  Specialized  Scientific  School 

The  passing  of  Professor  Remington  on  the  New  Year's  Day  of  1918,  was  a 
breaking  of  the  ties  with  the  past.  As  we  have  seen,  his  connection  with  the  College 
encompassed  half  a  century.  During  all  of  this  time  he  had  been  a  vital  force  in 
Philadelphia ;  for  a  large  portion  of  the  period  a  controlling  factor — the  foremost 
figure,  indeed,  of  American  Pharmacy.  He  had  completed  his  service  as  Chairman 
of  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  Ninth  Decennial  Revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeia. 


CHARLES  H.  LAWALL 

The  sixth  edition  of  his  Practice  of  Pharmacy,  and  the  twentieth  edition  of  the 
United  States  Dispensatory,  upon  whose  title  page  his  name  appeared  as  the 
principal  editor,  had  just  been  finished,  and  were  on  the  press. 

He  died  "in  the  harness."  He  had  been  ill  indeed  for  sometime,  so  ill  as  to  be 
unable  to  continue  his  accustomed  labors  and  the  end  was  not  a  surprise.  His 
burial  from  Holy  Trinity  P.  E.  Church  brought  together  a  large  body  of  men 
distinguished  in  pharmacy  and  other  walks  of  life.  From  all  sides  came  expressions 
attesting  his  work  and  worth,  emphasizing  the  sense  of  loss  which  pharmacy 
everywhere  had  experienced.  He  had  "attended  more  meetings  in  all  probability  and 
had  taken  an  important  part  in  them,"  said  Professor  La  Wall,  "than  any  other  pro- 
fessional man  of  our  time."  In  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  in  the 
Pennsylvania  and  other  state  association  meetings,  in  international  congresses,  as  a 


222       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

delegate  to  and  as  the  head  of  delegations  to  meetings  of  the  American  Medical 
Association  and  other  associated  and  related  scientific  bodies,  for  the  purpose  of 
establishing  closer  ties  between  the  professions,  he  was  always  the  quiet,  effective 
and  successful  figure  which  he  had  been  and  was  in  the  smaller  circle  in  which  he 
moved  in  Philadelphia.  His  "diplomatic  power  and  his  harmonizing  influence," 
says  his  friend  LaWall  were  "wonderful."  His  personal  magnetism  led  to  his 
being  very  justly  called  a  great  stabilizer.  Those  who  had  known  him  best  noted  his 
deep  abiding  faith  in  the  nobility  and  dignity  of  pharmacy  as  a  profession.  There 


E.  FULLERTON  COOK 

was  no  task  too  difficult  to  perform,  no  expense  was  questioned  when  he  saw  an 
opportunity  to  be  of  service  in  the  advancement  of  a  profession  of  which  he  was  so 
proud.  To  his  gift  of  imparting  knowledge  and  enthusiasm  to  others  there  were 
many  witnesses.  He  was  a  teacher  of  teachers  and  generations  of  pharmacists 
would  not  look  upon  his  like  again.  (Charles  H.  LaWall,  Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  Feb., 
1918.) 

Following  the  death  of  Remington,  LaWall  was  advanced  to  his  chair  as  Pro- 
fessor of  the  Theory  and  Practice  of  Pharmacy.  At  the  same  time,  1918,  he  was 
elected  Dean  of  Pharmacy  and  Chairman  of  the  Faculty.  Professor  Cook  was 
made  Professor  of  Operative  Pharmacy  and  Director  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Labora- 
tory. Professor  Sturmer,  who  had  been  associate  dean,  was  made  Dean  of  Science. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       223 

The  College  had  long  ceased  to  be  a  College  of  Apothecaries,  for  the  "old- 
time  apothecary,"  as  Professor  Stunner  observed,  was  no  more.  He  has  "gone 
the  way  of  the  tallow  candle  and  the  Franklin  stove,"  and  his  place  has  been  taken  by 
"the  modern  prescriptionist  and  the  manufacturer  of  medicinal  products,  the 
assayist  and  control  chemist,  the  bacteriologist,  the  clinical  chemist  and  hospital 
technician,  the  distributor  of  sick  room  supplies,  the  manager  of  the  drug  emporium 
and  the  merchant  prince,  dealing  in  drugs  on  an  extensive  scale."  (College  Bulletin, 
April,  1921  ).  It  had  now  become  a  great  specialized  scientific  school.  In  token  of 
the  extension  of  its  activities,  a  new  charter  was  secured  in  1920,  and  the  name  of 
the  corporation  was  changed  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science. 
Beginning  a  hundred  years  ago  with  two  lectureships  and  two  courses — one  on 
materia  medica  and  pharmacy,  and  one  on  chemistry,  given  at  night  two  or  three 
times  a  week,  during  the  winter  months,  the  College  in  1921  had  come  to  have  an 
instructional  corps  of  forty  teachers  in  a  wide  variety  of  related  subjects,  giving 
graded  courses,  conferring  many  kinds  of  degrees  and  awarding  a  number  of 
certificates.  Each  one  of  three  lecture  rooms  accommodates  350  students.  The 
school  is  equipped  with  five  large  laboratories.  Already,  in  1908,  its  rolls  contained 
the  names  of  18,000  matriculants.  Its  diplomas  have  been  given  to  7500  graduates ; 
and  the  whole  number  of  students  who  have  heard  the  lectures  and  worked  in  the 
laboratories  of  the  College  now  exceeds  20,000. 

Lecture  Rooms  and  Laboratories 

The  College  building  is  equipped  with  three  large  lecture  rooms,  each  pro- 
vided with  desks  for  students ;  with  a  projection  apparatus  for  lantern  slides ; 
and  with  an  unusually  rich  equipment  for  illustrations  and  demonstrations,  which 
has  been  accumulated  by  the  College  during  the  one  hundred  years  of  its  activities. 
There  is  in  addition  a  smaller  lecture  room  for  the  use  of  advanced  classes  in 
chemistry.  There  are  five  large  laboratories  as  follows:  (1)  Pharmacy,  (2)  An- 
alytical Chemistry,  (3)  Botany  and  Pharmacognosy,  (4)  Bacteriology,  (5)  Tech- 
nical, Pharmaceutical  and  Advanced  Chemistry.  In  connection  with  the  latter, 
there  are  smaller  rooms  equipped  respectively  for  water  analysis,  gas  analysis, 
polariscopic  determinations,  fire  assays,  and  electrolytic  analysis.  The  Depart- 
ment of  Botany  and  Pharmacognosy  conducts  also  a  laboratory  for  advanced 
microscopical  work. 

Library 

The  library  contains  upwards  of  20,000  volumes,  one  of  the  largest  and  most 
complete  collection  of  books  an  pamphlets  on  pharmacy  and  related  sciences  in  the 
country.  It  is  supplemented  by  the  Remington  Memorial  Library,  made  up  of  scien- 
tific works  assembled  by  and  formerly  owned  by  Professor  Joseph  P.  Remington, 
who  bequeathed  them  to  Professors  LaWall  and  Cook,  and  who  in  turn  have  made 
them  available  for  the  use  as  a  reference  library  of  the  College.  There  are  regu- 
larly on  file,  also,  current  numbers  of  the  principal  drug  journals,  both  American 
and  foreign. 


224       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

The  Edward  T.  Dobbins  Library  Fund  of  $20,000,  established  in  1921  by  Miss 
Mary  A.  Dobbins  in  memory  of  her  brother — Edward  Tonkin  Dobbins,  a  graduate 
of  the  class  of  1862  and  a  trustee  of  the  College — a  most  generous  contribution — 
is  for  the  purpose  of  supporting  and  enlarging  the  library. 


Museum 

The  museum  has  developed  from  the  little  ''cabinet"  early  formed  in  the  old 
German  Hall  on  Seventh  Street.  The  collections  are  now  reckoned  as  the  most  im- 
portant of  their  kind  in  the  United  States.  Drugs,  chemicals,  preparations  and 
apparatus  (modern  and  historical)  gathered  from  many  sources,  are  preserved, 
arranged  and  displayed,  and  are  available  for  purposes  of  study.  The  specimens 
of  plants  are  very  numerous  and  include  not  only  the  Durand  herbarium  but  also 
upwards  of  200,000  specimens,  assembled  by  Isaac  C.  Martindale,  of  Camden,  X.  J., 
and  presented  to  the  College  in  1894,  jointly  by  Howard  B.  French  and  the  Smith, 
Kline  and  French  Company.  In  addition,  a  large  number  of  botanical  specimens 
were  presented  to  the  College  by  the  Commercial  Museums  of  Philadelphia  in  1916. 
Some  of  the  material  has  been  gathered  from  many  sources,  notably  the  Centennial 
Exposition  (1876),  the  Columbian  Exposition  (1893),  and  the  National  Export 
Exposition  (1900). 

Botanical  Gardens 

An  ideal,  long  cherished,  has  recently  been  realized  through  the  generosity  of 
the  H.  K.  Mulford  Company,  which  has  given  the  College  the  use  of  a  tract  of  land 
located  at  Ridgway,  near  Glenolden,  Pa.,  as  botanical  gardens  for  the  cultivation 
of  medicinal  plants.  These  gardens  are  under  the  direction  of  Professor  Heber 
W.  Youngken,  aided  by  Dr.  Thomas  S.  Githens,  Chief  Botanist  of  the  H.  K.  Mul- 
ford Company  and  comprise  four  plots  covering  about  three  acres  of  ground.  The 
two  largest  of  these  are  laid  out  in  a  series  of  family  beds,  each  containing  a  rep- 
resentative variety  of  plants  of  medicinal  and  general  interest  for  systematic 
study.  A  third  plot  covers  a  stretch  of  nearby  woodland  where  such  sylvan 
species  as  Golden  Seal,  Witch  Hazel,  Wahoo,  Ginseng  and  Cranesbill  are  grown, 
while  plot  four  occupies  a  marsh  and  sub-marsh  area  for  the  growth  of  such 
plants  as  Calamus,  Typha,  Iris,  Veratrum,  Skunk  Cabbage,  etc.  A  greenhouse 
and  cold  frames  on  the  grounds  provide  adequate  facilities  for  the  growth  of 
seedlings.  In  addition,  the  College  maintains  a  greenhouse  and  garden  on  the  roof 
of  one  of  its  laboratories  for  use  in  growing  material  for  class  work,  and  in  con- 
nection with  experiments  in  plant  physiology.

is  not  confined  to  those  of  Scottish  origin,  but  is  composed  of  the  lovers  of  Burns.  The 
club  owns  large  grounds,  several  buildings,  including  the  only  replica  of  the  original  cottage 
in  existence,  has  no  debts  and  is  in  a  flourishing  condition. 

Administrative  Changes  of  1921 

In  token  of  the  development  of  pharmacy  along  so  many  lines  and  the  growth 
of  the  needs  and  requirements  of  young  men  and  women  who  are  adopting  this 
profession,  a  directing  head  for  the  new  and  various  activities  of  the  College  was 
sought  and  found  in  Rear  Admiral  William  Clarence  Braisted  of  the  U.  S.  Navy. 
With  a  thorough  scientific  training  and  wide  practical  experience,  it  was  felt  that 
this  leadership  would  give  the  school  valuable  guidance.  Compassing  a  knowledge 
of  medicine  as  well  as  pharmacy,  it  was  clear  that  he  could  make  himself  a  useful 
link  between  the  two  professions,  between  which  there  has  been,  at  times,  an  im- 
perfect understanding  and  an  unfortunate  want  of  sympathy  and  co-operation. 


244       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Always  the  College  had  had  for  its  president  a  Philadelphia  business  man, 
usually  he  had  been  some  highly  intelligent  successful  Quaker  pharmacist.  It  was 
a  very  new  policy  to  make  a  draft  upon  scientific  ranks  for  an  executive  officer. 
Howard  B.  French,  who  had  served  the  College  in  so  many  useful  ways  for  forty 
or  fifty  years,  for  twenty  years  as  its  president,  was  succeeded  on  March  28,  1921, 
by  Otto  W.  Osterlund,  a  graduate  of  the  College  and  prominent  in  the  drug  circles 
of  the  city,  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  former  president  of  the  Alumni 
Association,  and  he  was  succeeded  on  May  9,  1921,  by  William  C.  Braisted,  former 
Surgeon-General  of  the  U.  S.  Navy. 


OTTO  W.   OSTERLUND 

Frank  R.  Rohrman,  a  well-known  graduate  of  the  College,  President  of  the 
Philadelphia  Wholesale  Drug  Company,  was  elected  first  vice-president  at  the 
annual  meeting  of  1921  to  succeed  Dr.  Richard  V.  Mattison,  who  retired  after 
many  years  in  this  position ;  Milton  Campbell,  President  of  the  H.  K.  Mulford 
Company,  succeeded  Aubrey  H.  Weightman  as  treasurer.  Ambrose  Hunsberger 
succeeded  Dr.  Charles  A.  Weidemann  as  recording  secretary.  Ivor  Griffith,  for  a 
number  of  years  an  instructor  in  the  College,  and  pharmacist  of  the  Stetson  Hos- 
pital, became,  beginning  with  the  April  number,  the  editor  of  the  American  Journal 
of  Pharmacy,  to  succeed  George  M.  Beringer,  who  had  been  occupying  the  post 
since  1917.

CHAPTER  VII 
ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION  OF  THE  COLLEGE;  ITS  ORIGIN  AND  WORK 

No  college  is  stronger  than  its  alumni,  and  no  college  in  the  land  has  more 
loyal  and  devoted  alumni  than  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  including 
those  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College,  merged  with  the  College  in  1916,  who  are 
ever  voicing  its  praises  and  doing  all  within  their  power  to  promote  its  growth  and 
development.  It  is  therefore  fitting  that  a  chapter  of  this  volume  be  devoted  to  the 
work  and  worth  of  the  alumni  body,  as  follows : 

Alumni  Association  of  the  College;  Its  Origin  and  Work 

JOSEPH  W.  ENGLAND,  Pn.M. 
Recording  Secretary  of  Alumni  Association  of  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science 

The  Alumni  Association  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  organized  under 
very  modest  circumstances,  and  to  two  men  chiefly  was  the  organization  due — Edward  C. 
Jones,  '64,  and  his  fellow  classmate,  Albert  E.  Ebert,  '64. 

From  a  beginning  that  was  local,  the  Association  has  become  national — the  less  than  a 
score  of  original  members  have  increased  to  over  5,000,  resident  in  every  state  of  the  Union 
and  in  many  foreign  lands,  and  it  is  now  one  of  the  largest  pharmaceutical  organizations  of 
the  country. 

The  members  of  our  Alumni  Association  have  been  signally  honored  in  the  pharma- 
ceutical world  by  election  to  important  and  responsible  positions  in  the  city,  state  and  na- 
tional pharmaceutical  bodies,  and  in  many  other  directions.  It  is  not  possible  to  here  enumer- 
ate those  who  have  been  so  honored,  but  there  may  be  mentioned  the  names  of  those  who 
have  became  presidents  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  as  follows :  William 
Procter,  Jr.  (1857),  Edward  Parrish  (1868),  Albert  E.  Ebert  (1872),  C.  Lewis  Diehl  (1874), 
Charles  Bullock  (1876),  James  T.  Shinn  (1880),  Alfred  B.  Taylor  (1890),  Joseph  P.  Rem- 
ington (1892),  Lewis  C.  Hopp  (1903),  Joseph  L.  Lemberger  (1905),  Eugene  G.  Eberle  (1910), 
George  M.  Beringer  (1913),  Caswell  A.  Mayo  (1914),  Charles  H.  LaWall  (1918),  Lucius  E. 
Sayre  (1919).  It  may  be  noted,  also,  that  Daniel  B.  Smith,  president  of  the  College  in  1852, 
was  the  first  president  of  the  Association  (1852),  and  Charles  Ellis,  president  of  the  College 
from  1854  to  1869,  was  the  sixth  president  of  the  Association  (1857). 

The  training  received  by  students  in  pharmacy  affords  an  admirable  preliminary  train- 
ing for  students  in  medicine,  and  nearly  five  hundred  graduates  of  the  College  have  studied 
medicine,  and  are  now  in  medical  practice ;  and  among  these  are  the  Surgeon-General  of  the 
U.  S.  Navy,  colonels  of  the  U.  S.  Army,  rear-admirals,  presidents  of  the  state  medical  socie- 
ties, specialists  in  the  various  branches  of  medical  practice,  professors,  instructors,  hospital 
superintendents,  medico-legal  experts,  etc.,  an  array  that  most  worthily  represents  the  College 
that  gave  them  their  pharmaceutical  degree. 

The  organization  was  the  result  of  a  custom  initiated  by  the  senior  students  of  1855,  and 
followed  by  succeeding  classes,  of  organizing  each  year  for  mutual  improvement,  pharma- 
ceutically,  examining  each  other  in  the  subject-matter  of  the  lectures  of  the  College  and 
exchanging  items  of  practical  information.  The  organizations  were  ephemeral,  disbanding  at 
the  close  of  each  College  year  until  1864,  when  the  Alumni  Association  was  founded. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Association  was  held  on  the  evening  of  July  15,  1864,  in  a  room 
above  the  drug  store  of  Professor  Edward  Parrish,  then  at  800  Arch  Street.  Organization 
was  effected,  officers  elected  and  a  constitution  adopted.  The  objects  of  the  Association  were 
stated  to  be:  "The  advancement  of  the  profession  of  pharmacy,  the  perpetuation  of  the 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       249 

pleasant  social  relations  formed  during  College  years,  and  the  promotion  of  the  interests 
of  the  Alma  Mater." 

The  original  members  were :  Edward  C.  Jones,  Albert  E.  Ebert,  Richard  M.  Shoemaker, 
C.  Lewis  Diehl,  Adolph  W.  Miller,  Edwin  Tomlinson,  Joseph  E.  Moore,  Alfred  W.  Newton,

EDWARD  C.  JONES 

Edward  C.  Jones  (1843-1895).  Founder.  Born  in  Philadelphia.  Son  of  William  and 
Jane  P.  Jones,  members  of  Society  of  Friends.  Early  education  in  Friends'  Select  School 
Apprenticed  to  Amos  H.  Yarnall.  Graduated  from  College  in  1864.  Went  into  business  with 
preceptor  and  with  several  partners  succeeded  him;  later  (1889)  firm  was  dissolved,  and  he 
became  associated  with  Robert  Shoemaker  and  Company.  Was  elected  treasurer  of  Alumni 
Association  in  1868,  serving  with  remarkable  fidelity  until  his  demise.  Was  a  trustee  of  the 
College  (1874-1895),  a  member  ot  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  (1864-1895), 
and  other  pharmaceutical  bodies.  The  love  of  his  life  was  the  College  and  its  students,  and 
many  of  these  were  the  recipients  of  his  acts  of  kindness,  his  simple  and  gentle  words  of 
sympathy  and  encouragement,  and  often,  financial  aid.  It  was  in  testimony  of  his  years  of 
self-sacrificing  labor  that  the  "Edward  C.  Jones  Scholarship"  of  the  College  was  founded. 


250       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Executive  Board  meetings  were  held  during  the  year  and  twenty-one  members  were 
elected. 

The  first  annual  meeting  of  the  Association  was  held  on  March  11,  1865,  and  the  warmest 
interest  was  manifested  in  the  welfare  of  the  Alma  Mater,  resolutions  being  passed  urging 
the  establishment  of  a  laboratory  where  pharmacy  and  chemistry  could  be  practically  taught, 
that  a  sinking  fund  be  created  out  of  the  surplus  funds  of  the  Association,  and  that  a  special 
committee  be  appointed  to  obtain  subscriptions  and  invest  the  same  until  a  sufficient  sum  was 
obtained  for  the  equipment  of  the  laboratory.  The  passage  of  these  resolutions  resulted, 
ultimately,  in  the  establishment  of  the  first  laboratory  for  teaching  practical  pharmacy  and 
chemistry  in  a  school  of  pharmacy  in  America. 

The  accumulation  of  the  fund  began,  and  by  1868  the  subscriptions  amounted  to  nearly 
$5,000;  in  the  fall  of  1870,  the  laboratory  for  instruction  in  pharmacy  and  chemistry  was 
opened  and  placed  in  charge  of  Professor  John  M.  Maisch.  At  the  annual  meeting  of  March 
14,  1872,  it  was  stated  that  the  expenses  of  fitting-up  the  laboratory  has  been  paid,  and  a 
report  from  Professor  Maisch,  superintendent,  was  presented  to  the  Association,  detailing 
the  work  of  the  laboratory  and  giving  the  names  of  the  twenty-four  students  in  attendance 
during  the  session  of  1870-1871  and  the  thirty-three  students  of  1871-1872. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  March  17,  1873,  the  success  of  the  new  laboratory  was  dwelt 
upon  and  it  was  stated  that,  in  view  of  the  demand  for  increased  facilities,  the  Executive 
Board  had  promptly  met  these  in  the  fall  of  1872,  by  placing  a  sufficient  sum  from  its  funds 
at  the  disposal  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  on  December  3,  1872,  the  laboratory  was 
formally  transferred  to  the  College  by  the  Alumni  Association  and  gratefully  accepted. 

The  work  of  the  laboratory  grew,  and  in  1876  its  two  divisions  of  work  were  partially 
segregated — Professor  Remington  giving  a  course  on  pharmaceutical  manipulations ;  and  in 
1878  he  assumed  full  charge  of  the  pharmaceutical  laboratory  (or  laboratory  of  operative 
pharmacy),  while  Professor  Maisch  confined  his  instruction  to  the  chemical  laboratory.  In 
the  same  year,  the  College  first  made  obligatory  an  examination  in  practical  pharmacy  for 
graduation,  and  in  1884  practical  examination  in  analytical  chemistry  was  made  compulsory. 

The  institution  of  prizes  by  the  Alumni  Association  to  stimulate  the  scholarship  of  stu- 
dents, was  begun  in  1871,  when  a  gold  medal  was  offered  to  the  best  student  of  the  graduat- 
ing class.  Three  years  later  the  giving  of  a  certificate  of  proficiency  to  the  student  having 
the  highest  average  in  each  particular  branch  of  study  was  commenced.  In  1877  the  award- 
ing of  a  certificate  to  the  best  student  in  operative  pharmacy  was  decided  upon,  and  in  1878 
the  giving  of  a  certificate  to  the  student  presenting,  in  competition,  the  best  collection  of 
indigenous  plants,  was  inaugurated ;  a  few  years  later,  a  silver  medal  was  awarded  to  the 
best  student  of  the  Junior  class,  and  a  gold  medal  to  best  student  of  the  Senior  class,  and 
in  1899,  after  the  establishment  of  the  three  year  pharmacy  course,  a  bronze  medal  was 
awarded  to  the  best  student  of  the  first  year  class,  a  silver  medal  to  the  best  student  of  the 
second  year  class,  and  a  gold  medal  to  the  best  student  of  the  third  year  class,  to  be  followed, 
upon  the  return  to  the  two-year-pharmacy  course,  by  the  award  of  silver  and  gold  medals 
only. 

Eight  Alumni  prize  certificates  for  proficiency  are  now  awarded  in  the  f ollowing  branches : 
Pharmacy,  general  chemistry,  materia  medica,  operative  pharmacy,  analytical  chemistry, 
pharmacognosy,  pharmaceutical  chemistry  and  commercial  pharmacy. 

Quizzing  was  very  early  instituted  at  the  College  and  was  conducted  by  the  professors 
themselves,  and  in  the  late  70's  by  quiz  masters  approved  by  the  Committee  on  Instruction  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees.  In  1876  the  subjects  upon  which  quizzing  was  given  were  pharmacy 
and  chemistry ;  the  next  year  materia  medica  was  added. 

In  1880  the  Alumni  Quizzes  were  established  by  the  Association  in  lieu  of  the  quizzes 
of  the  quiz  associations  previously  in  vogue,  and  this  constitutes  the  corner  stone  of  the 
system  of  quizzing-reviews.  The  quizzes  were  very  popular  and  successful. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       251 

The  list  of  Alumni  Quiz  Masters  included :  Lucius  E.  Sayre,  Chas.  L.  Mitchell,  Henry 
Trimble,  J.  E.  Cook,  T.  S.  Wiegand,  F.  B.  Power,  Louis  Genois,  C.  B.  Lowe,  F.  E.  Stewart 
and  F.  X.  Moerk. 

In  1881  College  Reviews  were  inaugurated  by  the  College,  conducted  by  and  placed  in 
charge  of  the  assistants  to  the  professors;  five  years  later  the  Alumni  Quizzes  and  College 
Reviews  were  combined  and  conducted  by  the  assistants,  under  the  business  management  of 


ALBERT  E.  EBERT 


Albert  E.  Ebert  (1840-1906).  Founder.  Born  in  Germany;  father  came  to  this  country 
during  Albert's  early  youth  and  settled  in  Chicago.  Early  education  in  public  schools.  Ap- 
prenticed (1852)  to  F.  Scammon  and  Co.,  of  Chicago.  Attended  Chicago  College  of  Phar- 
macy (1859),  entered  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  graduated  in  1864.  Made 
doctor  of  philosophy  by  University  of  Munich  (1867).  Went  into  retail  drug  business  in 
Chicago  (1868).  Became  professor  of  pharmacy  at  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy  (1871). 
Actively  identified  himself  with  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  (1864)  and  was 
its  president  in  1872.  Deeply  interested  in  pharmaceutical  research.  Founded  the  Ebert  Prize 
Fund  in  the  Association  for  stimulating  original  investigation.  Active  in  revision  of  Phar- 
macopoeia for  several  decades.  Member  of  State  Board  of  Pharmacy  of  Illinois  for  five 
years.  Received  master  in  pharmacy  degree  from  P.  C.  P.  (1894).  Author  (with  A.  Emil 
Hiss)  of  "Standard  Formulary."  Achieved  national  fame  as  a  master-scientific  pharmacist, 
his  contributions  to  pharmaceutical  literature  being  many  and  valuable.

the  Alumni  Association,  Secretary  William  E.  Krewson,*  representing  the  latter,  as  the  Col- 
lege Review  Quiz.  In  1895  the  entire  control  of  the  quizzes  reverted  to  the  College,  and  they 
were  made  compulsory. 

For  a  score  or  more  of  years,  beginning  with  1876,  monthly  social  meetings  were  held  by 
the  Association  during  each  College  year.  Men  of  eminent  ability  addressed  the  meetings 
and  recitations  and  entertainments  were  given,  but  the  College  grew  and  the  demands  on  the 
students'  time  increased  to  such  an  extent  that  it  became  inexpedient  to  continue  them. 

In  1887  the  Association  requested  the  Board  of  Trustees  to  open  a  Reading  Room  in  the 
College,  which  was  done,  and  for  a  time  it  was  in  charge  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Association; 
ultimately  it  resulted  in  the  present  Reading  Room  of  the  Library. 

To  the  Alumni  Association  belongs,  also,  the  credit  of  first  establishing  in  the  College  a 
microscopical  laboratory.  In  the  fall  of  1881,  the  Executive  Board  considered  the  question 
of  teaching  microscopy  as  applied  to  pharmacy,  but  no  definite  action  was  taken  until  August, 
1882,  when  a  supply  of  microscopes  and  accessories  was  purchased,  a  course  of  study  mapped 
out  and  Albert  P.  Brown  elected  as  instructor  in  microscopy.  Upon  Mr.  Brown's  demise  in 
1892,  George  M.  Beringer  was  appointed  instructor,  and  continued  to  serve  until  the  labora- 
tory was  turned  over  to  the  College  by  the  Alumni  Association  in  1894,  to  become  the  botan- 
ical and  microscopical  laboratory. 

With  the  completion  of  its  first  year  of  activities  the  Association  published  an  annual 
report,  and  from  1865  to  1891  such  reports  were  issued.  Early  in  November,  1891,  however, 
the  Executive  Board  directed  that  the  annual  report  be  abolished  and  a  periodical  be  pub- 
lished not  less  than  eight  times  each  fiscal  year. 

The  change  came  about  very  naturally,  dear  old  Edward  C.  Jones — the  love  of  whose 
life  was  his  Alma  Mater — suggested  to  the  writer  (who  was  then  president  of  the  Alumni 
Association)  in  October,  1891,  the  advisability  of  issuing  each  month  during  the  College  year 
a  circular,  giving  an  account  of  each  month's  meetings  at  the  College.  The  suggestion  was 
elaborated  into  a  project  to  print  each  month  during  the  College  year,  beginning  with  Novem- 
ber, eight  monthly  numbers  to  cover,  not  only  the  meetings,  but  the  whole  work  of  the  Asso- 
ciation ;  in  other  words,  to  unite  the  alumni  and  students  in  fellowship  and  interests.  The 
writer  well  recalls  the  special  meeting  of  the  Executive  Board  held  at  the  residence  of  the 
late  C.  Carroll  Meyer.t  at  1800  Callowhill  Street,  when  this  movement  was  decided  upon 
and  the  earnestness  and  enthusiasm  with  which  it  was  launched,  and  then  later,  how,  with 
almost  the  same  loving  care  that  he  would  have  shown  to  a  child,  Edward  C.  Jones  fathered 
the  project  and  toiled  early  and  late  to  ensure  its  success. 


*  William  E.  Krewson  (1845-  ).  Born  near  Hatboro,  Pa.  Early  education  in  public 
and  private  schools.  Learned  drug  business  with  Charles  E.  Davis,  of  Germantown,  later 
with  Robert  S.  Bower  and  then  with  Dr.  Thomas  Gorden,  both  of  Philadelphia.  Entered 
employ  of  George  C.  Bower  (1868).  Graduated  from  the  College  in  1869,  entering  employ 
of  Dr.  J.  M.  Higgins,  Germantown  Avenue  and  Norris  Street,  remaining  until  1871,  when  he 
bought  a  drug  store  at  Eighth  and  Montgomery  Avenue,  where  he  conducted  business  for 
fifteen  years.  Early  identified  himself  with  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  College,  becoming 
its  president  (1879-1880)  and  its  recording  secretary  (1880-1904).  Became  a  member  of  the 
College  (1874)  and  a  trustee  (1881-1906).  Member  of  Presbyterian  Church  for  over  sixty 
years  and  an  elder  for  over  forty  years.  Active  in  Masonic  order,  being  a  member  of

tC.  Carroll  Meyer  (1854-1919).  Born  in  Philadelphia.  Early  education  in  Saint  Jo- 
seph's College,  Fourth  Street  and  Willing's  Alley.  Apprenticed  (1869)  to  Thomas  J.  Hus- 
band (Class  of  1833),  originator  of  Husband's  Magnesia,  Third  and  Spruce  Streets.  Gradu- 
ated from  College  (1873),  subject  of  thesis  being  "Ichthyocolla."  Went  into  business  (1879), 
at  1802  Callowhill  Street,  then  at  1800  Callowhill  Street,  and  finally  at  341  North  Eighteenth 
Street.  For  nearly  half  a  century  he  served  the  Association,  holding  every  elective  office 
save  that  of  recording  secretary,  and  was  a  trustee  of  the  College  for  seventeen  years.  Love 
and  loyalty  was  his  life  motto — love  and  loyalty  toward  his  alma  mater,  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation, his  church  and  his  fellowmen,  whose  servant  he  ever  strived  to  be. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       253 

In  1892-1893  the  monthly  issues  were  increased  to  nine  in  number,  and  in  1898  to  twelve, 
issued  from  January  to  December,  inclusive. 

The  publication  of  the  Alumni  Report  quickly  won  the  active  interest  and  support  of  the 
alumni  and  students  of  the  College  and  has  been  of  the  highest  value  in  promoting  the 
objects  for  which  the  Association  was  founded. 

In  1907  the  Alumni  Report  was  merged  with  the  annual  "Announcement"  of  the  College 
to  be  called  the  "Bulletin  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Alumni  Report,"  to 
be  issued  quarterly;  and  1921,  the  title  was  changed  to  make  the  name  of  the  periodical 
comport  with  the  new  name  of  College,  as  was  also,  the  corporate  title  of  the  Association  to 
that  of  the  "Alumni  Association  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science." 

The  editors  of  the  periodical  have  been:  Joseph  W.  England  (1891-1901);  Melvin  W. 
Bamford  (1901-1904);  Clement  B.  Lowe  (1904-1911);  Freeman  P.  Stroup  (1911-1917); 
and  Julius  W.  Sturmer  (1918-  ). 

Upon  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  the  Association  (1889)  there  was  established  in  the 
College  an  Edward  C.  Jones  Scholarship,  in  honor  of  Edward  C.  Jones,  but  it  was  limited 
in  scope,  and  in  1895,  upon  his  demise,  it  was  decided  to  have  the  scholarship  embrace  as 
many  of  the  obligatory  studies  and  as  much  of  the  laboratory  work  as  possible,  and  to  this 
end  subscriptions  were  solicited,  which  were  supplemented  by  a  legacy  of  $950  left  by  Ed- 
ward C.  Jones  to  the  College,  and  this  constituted  the  enlarged  scholarship.  It  became 
effective  in  1897. 

The  Alumni  Association  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  incorporated  by 
Court  of  Common  Pleas,  No.  1,  on  April  10,  1894,  and  the  title  was  changed  in  1921  to  con- 
form with  the  new  title  of  the  College.  The  incorporators  were:  C.  Carroll  Meyer,  Joseph 
W.  England,  Wm.  Nelson  Stem,  Howard  B.  French,  Edward  C.  Jones,  Wallace  Procter, 
Joseph  P.  Remington,  Thos.  S.  Wiegand,  Wm.  E.  Krewson,  Chas.  Bullock,  David  H.  Ross, 
Henry  Trimble. 

Early  in  1894  the  Association  launched  a  movement  to  secure  subscriptions  for  an  Elec- 
tric Light  Plant  for  the  College.  In  a  short  time  $1,400  was  raised,  which  was  turned  over 
to  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  the  plant  was  installed  in  December,  "tested  and  gave  entire 
satisfaction." 

No  event  in  the  evening  of  the  nineteenth  century  so  stirred  the  sympathies  of  our  nation 
and  led  to  such  far-reading  consequence  in  its  development  as  a  world-power,  as  the  sinking 
of  the  U.  S.  Ship  Maine  in  Havana  Harbor,  on  Tuesday  evening,  February  15,  1898,  when 
253  souls  were  swept  into  eternity.  The  nation  lamented  the  loss  of  its  brave  men ;  and  our 
Association  the  loss  of  Walter  S.  Sellers,  class  of  1896,  the  Maine's  Apothecary.  In  his 
memory  the  Alumni  Association  has  placed  a  tablet  on  the  walls  of  the  College  which  reads: 

In  Honor  of  the  Memory  of 
Walter  S.  Sellers,  Ph.G. 

Class  of  1896,  P.C.P 

Who  Lost  His  Life  in  the  Harbor  of  Havana,  February  15, 
While  in  the  Discharge  of  Duty 


Alumni  Association  of  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

In  1909  the  Alumni  Association  urged  that  the  memory  of  Thomas  S.  Wiegand  (1825- 
1909),  one  time  president  of  the  Association  and  Actuary  of  the  College,  be  honored  by 
establishing  a  scholarship  bearing  his  name.  Thirty-five  hundred  dollars  was  raised  by  sub- 
scriptions and  turned  over  to  the  College  in  October  13,  1910,  and  the  scholarship  founded. 

A  bureau  of  employment  was  established  by  the  Association  in  1899,  for  procuring 
clerks  for  employers  and  employers  for  clerks,  and  was  highly  successful;  later  the  work  was 
turned  over  to  the  office  of  the  Registrar  of  the  College. 


254       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

The  nucleus  of  the  Pennsylvania  Alumni  Scholarship  Fund  was  in  the  net  proceeds  of  a 
musicale  given  by  the  Alumni  Association,  under  the  presidency  of  Clarence  H.  Campbell, 
in  December,  1909,  which,  was  turned  over  to  the  College  for  such  a  fund.  By  the  addition 
of  subscriptions  the  fund  grew  and  was  completed  in  1914.  It  became  effective  in  1915. 

With  the  merging  of  the  Department  of  Pharmacy  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College 
with  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1916,  the  graduates  of  the  former  were  unani- 
mously elected  members  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
with  all  the  rights  and  privileges  of  membership,  and  the  union  has  proven  to  be  a  most 
happy  and  congenial  one. 

In  1916  it  was  decided  to  form  an  Advisory  Council  of  the  Association  consisting  of  one 
or  more  graduates  from  each  state,  territory,  or  dependency  of  the  United  States,  the  object 
being  to  crystallize  the  activities  of  the  alumni  body  in  all  sections  of  the  country  so  that  its 


WALTER  S.  SELLERS 


Walter  Spangler  Sellers,  born  January  5,  1874,  was  the  son  of  W.  H.  Sellers,  of  Cham- 
bersburg,  Pa.  Graduated  from  the  Chambersburg  High  School  (1891).  Entered  the  drug 
store  of  Cressler  and  Keefer  of  that  place  (1894),  and  later  was  employed  by  Dr.  Hugh  S. 
Kinmouth,  of  Avon,  N.  J.,  and  Thomas  S.  Newbold,  of  Philadelphia.  Graduated  from  the 
College  (18%),  achieving  high  rank  in  his  class.  Immediately  after  graduation,  he  success- 
fully passed  the  Board  of  Pharmacy  of  Pennsylvania,  and  the  examination  for  the  posi- 
tion of  Apothecary  on  a  U.  S.  man  of  war.  Was  assigned  to  the  Maine  in  18%.  Occupied 
quarters  in  the  forward  part  of  the  vessel,  almost  directly  below  the  forward  turret  and  very 
near  the  forward  magazine,  near  or  in  which  the  explosion  which  sunk  the  vessel  is  said  to 
have  occurred.  Was  greatly  attached  to  his  duties  on  the  Maine,  which  he  faithfully  per- 
formed even  unto  death.  Walter  S.  Sellers  lived  as  a  hero  should  live  and  died  at  his  post 
of  duty. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       255 

work  for  the  alma  mater  could  be  co-ordinated  and  made  more  effective.  This  was  done  and 
with  gratifying  results. 

During  the  World  War,  nearly  one  thousand  alumni  and  students  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  saw  service  and  of  these  more  than  a  score  made  the  Supreme  Sacri- 
fice. 

The  chief  aim  of  the  Alumni  Association  is  to  keep  alive  in  memory  dear  the  old  alma 
mater,  with  its  precious  recollections  of  student  days,  and  to  enlist  the  interest  and  work  of 
the  alumni  in  her  behalf,  to  the  end  that  her  splendid  principles,  traditions  and  service  may  be 
preserved.  And  her  arms  are  ever  open  wide  to  her  children  when  they  come  back  to  visit 
with  her,  even  in  thought.  Coining  back  to  the  old  alma  mater  is  like  coming  back  to  the 
old  home  town.  "There  is  no  science  nor  strife  nor  stranger  that  can  come  between  mem- 
ory and  the  old  home-town  days,"  Cullen  Cain  so  beautifully  writes,  and  "the  recollection 
of  the  woods  and  hills  and  the  people  burns  as  bright  today  as  when  the  wick  was  first 
trimmed  and  lighted  in  the  long,  long  ago.  We  strive  a  little  and  play  a  little  and  pray  a 
little  and  do  the  best  we  can  and  set  our  faces  bravely  to  the  future  and  write  sadly  and 
softly  when  we  think  of  the  past.  Cold  voices  sound  on  our  ears,  hard  faces  loom  in  the 
gray  light  close  by.  Stern  and  careless  and  indifferent  is  the  stranger  into  whose  land  we 
have  come.  Suspicion  arms  him  against  us,  and  he  exacts  an  eye  for  an  eye  and  a  tooth 
for  a  tooth  in  his  dealings.  If  we  slip,  the  lash  falls.  If  we  falter,  he  thrills  a  command. 
But  a  friend  from  the  old  home  town !  Ah,  the  angels  wipe  their  weeping  eyes  and  smile 
for  a  moment  now.  'Tis  a  light  in  the  gloom  and  a  silver  tenor  strain  among  the  many  dis- 
cords of  a  city  in  a  strange  land.  He  knows  us  well,  this  old  friend ;  knows  our  strength  and 
weakness,  and  in  spite  of  all  our  faults,  he  loves  us  still." 

And  so,  to  the  thousands  of  students  who  have  passed  through  the  portals  of  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy — the  memory  of  the  old  alma  mater,  of  the  old  teachers,  of  the 
old  class  mates,  burns  as  brightly  within  as  it  did  years  and  years  ago.  How  it  all  comes 
back!  How  green  and  callow  we  were  when  we  matriculated.  What  "most  potent,  grave 
and  reverend  signiors"  our  professors  appeared  to  be  at  the  beginning  of  the  course;  and 
what  princes  of  good  fellows  they  proved  to  be  at  the  end.  How  deep  and  learned  their  lec- 
tures. How  we  all  enjoyed  their  ancient  and  honorable  jokes  the  first  year  we  heard  them ; 
but  how  "stale,  flat  and  unprofitable"  the  jokes  were  to  those  who  had  to  do  the  year's  work 
all  over  again !  What  unholy  glee  greeted  a  lecture-demonstration  that  failed  or  a  lantern- 
light  that  went  out,  and  what  cheers  and  applause  when  the  professor  "came  back"  at  a 
smart  Aleck  who  attempted  to  create  disorder.  What  earnest,  self-sacrificing  teachers  we 
had — Procter,  Parrish,  Maisch,  Remington,  Sadder  and  Trimble — "we  ne'er  shall  look  upon 
their  like  again" — men  who  were  masters  of  their  craft  and  taught  not  for  the  love  of  money, 
but  for  the  love  of  teaching— of  guiding  young  minds  into  right  channels  of  thought  and 
action  so  that  sick  humanity  might  be  best  served. 

And  what  friends  we  made;  fast  friends,  friends  that  were  staunch  and  loyal  and  true, 
friends  who  knew  us,  through  and  through,  and  knowing  us,  still  remained  our  friends. 
Some  of  them  have  answered  the  Call  of  the  West,  but  many  remain  and  their  friendship 
has  been  "tested  by  time  and  strained  by  distance  and  corroded  by  the  selfishness  of  advancing 
years  and  ambition  and  greed  of  gain,  and  has  withstood  all  of  them."  And  when  we  meet 
these  friends,  we  greet  them  as  of  our  old  home  town — of  our  old  alma  mater! 

And  then  the  climax  of  student-days — the  night  of  nights  with  the  thrill  that  comes  only 
once  in  a  lifetime — the  night  when  we  stood  upon  the  stage  of  the  old  Academy  of  Music 
and  received  that  priceless  bit  of  parchment  we  had  worked  so  hard  for — that  proclaimed  to 
all  the  world  that  we  were  graduates  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy !  How  proud 
we  were!  How  we  all  then  highly  resolved  that  come  what  might,  in  our  future  careers, 
we  would  be  true  to  the  teachings  and  traditions  of  our  dear  old  alma  mater. 

And  the  old  alma  mater  is  proud  of  her  children — proud  of  those  who  have  gone  forth 
from  her  halls,  gone  by  the  thousands  into  all  corners  of  the  world  to  practice  their  profes- 
sion and  serve  humanity,  because  they  have  "made  good"  and  brought  honor  and  prestige 
to  their  craft,  their  alma  mater  and  themselves.

CHAPTER  VIII 

MERGING  OF  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  PHARMACY  AND  CHEMISTRY 

OF   THE   MEDICO-CHIRURGICAL   COLLEGE   WITH   THE 

PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY 

The  merger  of  the  Department  of  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  of  the  Medico- 
Chirurgical  College  with  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1916,  brought  to 
the  older  institution  a  considerable  number  of  teachers,  a  strong  alumni  body  and 
splendid  traditions,  deserving  of  treatment  in  a  special  chapter  of  this  history,  as

Medico-Chirurgical  College 

The  Medico-Chirurgical  College  of  Philadelphia  had  its  origin  in  an  association  of  phy- 
sicians and  surgeons  formed  at  the  home  of  Dr.  James  Bryan,  a  well-known  figure  in  the 
medical  history  of  the  city,  at  the  Northeast  Corner  of  Tenth  and  Arch  Streets,  on  May  13, 
1848.  It  was  born  of  a  movement  which  had  gained  impetus  at  the  meeting  recently  held  in 
Baltimore  where  the  American  Medical  Association  was  established.  The  College  received 
a  charter  from  the  Legislature  of  Pennsylvania  in  1850,  at  which  time  it  had  ninety-four  mem- 
bers. Upon  turning  to  a  copy  of  its  constitution  and  by-laws,  we  find  that  its  objects  were 
"the  dissemination  of  medical  knowledge,  the  defence  of  the  rights  and  the  preservation  of 
the  repute  and  dignity  of  the  medical  profession."  Its  members  were  to  be  of  three  kinds- 
Senior,  Junior  and  Honorary.  Its  activities  would  be  directed  by  twelve  sections.  With 
these  twelve  groups  the  members  were  to  affiliate  as  their  interests  inclined  them  to  one  or 
another  branch  of  medical  science.  The  meetings  were  to  be  held  on  Saturday  evenings 
throughout  the  year  except  in  midsummer.  The  organization  was  another  College  of  Phy- 
sicians for  the  general  improvement  of  the  profession,  not  for  giving  courses  of  instruction 
or  the  conferring  of  degrees. 

A  specific  purpose  of  the  society  was  stated  to  be  the  foundation  in  Philadelphia  of  an 
extensive  and  a  permanent  medical  library  and  cabinet,  and  curators  were  appointed  with 
the  duty  of  receiving  and  preserving  books  and  specimens,  a  work  calculated  to  be  especially 
useful,  it  was  believed,  since  "medical  and  other  scientific  gentlemen"  constantly  resorted 
"from  all  parts  of  the  Union  and  likewise  from  foreign  countries  to  this  ancient  seat  of  the 
medical  sciences  of  America  for  the  purpose  of  studying  and  investigating  into  different 
departments  of  professional  knowledge." 

The  first  president  of  the  College  was  Dr.  James  Bryan,  at  whose  call  and  at  whose 
home  the  meeting  for  organization  was  held.  The  vice-presidents  were  Dr.  Charles  M. 
Griffith  and  Dr.  John  Dawson.  The  counselor  of  the  society  was  that  dilletante  lawyer  and 
writer,  a  graduate  of  the  medical  school  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1839,  Thomas 
Dunn  English,  remembered  today  as  the  author  of  the  popular  ballad  "Ben  Bolt." 

In  1867  the  charter  was  amended  by  the  Legislature  of  Pennsylvania.  The  officers  and 
professors  of  the  College  were  endowed  with  "all  the  rights,  immunities  and  privileges  as 
to  lecturing,  granting  diplomas  and  conferring  degrees  in  medicine,  as  is  possessed  by  the 
officers  and  professors  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania."  A  teaching  staff  was  organized 
but  on  several  accounts  it  was  gradually  dissolved,  and  was  not  reorganized  until  1881  under 
the  influence  of  Dr.  George  P.  Oliver,  properly  regarded  as  the  founder  of  the  College  as  a 
school.  He  became  its  president  and  occupied  the  chair  of  surgery.

The  institution  had  but  a  slow  and  uneventful  growth  until  1885  when  there  came  into 
the  Faculty  and  the  Board  of  Trustees  a  number  of  forceful  and  energetic  men,  including 
Drs.  John  V.  Shoemaker,  William  H.  Pancoast  and  E.  E.  Montgomery,  who  joining  Drs. 
Henry  E.  Goodman,  Peter  D.  Keyser  and  William  S.  Stewart,  and  others,  soon  gave  the  insti- 
tution the  highest  character.  The  Hospital  of  Oral  Surgery,  directed  by  Dr.  James  Garretson, 
was  merged  with  the  Hospital  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College. 

From  the  first  the  course  leading  to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine  covered  three 
years,  and  it  was  soon  extended  to  four  years.  The  College  was  a  pioneer  in  raising  the 
standards  of  medical  education.  The  courts  were  appealed  to  for  an  interpretation  of  the 
charter,  and  it  was  determined  that  its  terms  were  broad  enough  to  warrant  an  extension  of 
the  activities  of  the  institution.  Accordingly,  in  1897,  the  Board  of  Trustees  established  a 
Department  of  Dental  Surgery;  in  1898  a  Department  of  Pharmacy;  and  in  1907  a  Depart- 
ment of  Pharmaceutic  Chemistry.  "In  the  rapidity  and  vigor  of  its  growth,"  says  Dr.  F.  P. 
Henry,  "the  College  was,  probably,  without  a  parallel  in  the  history  of  medical  schools." 
("Standard  History  of  Medicine  in  Philadelphia,"  Dr.  F.  P.  Henry.) 

At  first  the  College  was  housed  in  the  upper  stories  of  the  Third  Xational  Bank  Building 
at  the  Southwest  Corner  of  Broad  and  Market  Streets.  In  1885,  it  joined  forces  with  the 
Philadelphia  Dental  College  and  they  together  took  over  a  building  on  Cherry  Street  between 
Seventeenth  and  Eighteenth  Streets,  earlier  the  Home  for  Aged  and  Indigent  Women.  The 
two  institutions  jointly  occupied  the  premises  until  1895  when  they  again  went  their  separate 
ways.  The  Medico-Chirurgical  College  remained  on  the  ground.  Soon  it  was  in  possession 
of  an  imposing  group  of  structures,  including  lecture  halls,  hospitals,  laboratories,  dispen- 
saries, etc.,  which  covered  nearly  an  entire  block.  A  new  clinical  amphitheater,  illuminated 
by  an  enormous  skylight,  was  accounted  the  finest  as  well  as  the  largest  in  the  United  States 
or  Europe.  Its  capacity  was  600  students. 

The  Department  of  Pharmacy  provided  courses  covering  two  years  of  seven  months 
each,  at  the  end  of  which  time  the  student  would  receive  the  degree  of  graduate  in  phar- 
macy, presupposing  and  conditioned  upon  employment  for  four  years  in  a  drug  store.  The 
degree  of  doctor  of  pharmacy  was  given  to  those  taking  and  successfully  completing  two 
additional  years  in  the  school.  The  lectures  were  at  first  delivered  in  the  evenings  in  order 
that  they  should  not  conflict  with  the  work  in  the  Medical  and  Dental  Departments.  Thus, 
if  it  were  desired,  a  student  might  carry  on  his  studies  in  medicine  and  pharmacy  or  dentistry 
and  pharmacy  at  the  same  time.  This  arrangement  lasted  until  1903  when  the  night  classes 
were  discontinued. 

When  it  was  first  instituted  the  school  of  pharmacy  was  in  charge  of  Henry  C.  C. 
Maisch,  a  son  of  Professor  John  M.  Maisch,  who  held  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and 
botany;  Carl  E.  Smith,  professor  of  the  theory  and  practice  of  pharmacy,  who  was  Dean  of 
the  Department;  Isaac  Ott,  professor  of  physiology,  and  Dr.  George  H.  Meeker,  professor  of 
chemistry.

maining with  this  firm  until  his  death.  Was  the  author  of  a  number  of  scientific  contribu- 
tions on  chemical  and  pharmaceutical  subjects.  His  studies  on  "Illicum  Floridianum"  (1885), 
and  "On  the  Action  of  Acid  Chlorides  in  Phenolether,"  were  of  exceptional  merit.  Revised 
the  materia  medica  portion  of  the  fifth  edition  to  the  "Xational  Dispensatory,"  and  Maisch's 
"Organic  Materia  Medica."

Professor  Smith  was  soon  succeeded  in  the  chair  of  pharmacy  and  as  dean  by  Harvey 
II.  Mentzer.  In  1900  Dr.  Charles  H.  Shaw  became  professor  of  botany  and  pharmacognosy 
and  in  1901  Dr.  Matthew  Beardwood  became  adjunct  professor  of  chemistry.  In  1901  Dr. 
Henry  Fisher  joined  the  Faculty  as  professor  of  materia  medica  in  the  place  of  Dr.  Maisch. 
In  1903  Harvey  E.  Kendig,  who  had  served  as  an  assistant  under  Professor  Mentzer,  was

appointed  to  be  adjunct  professor  of  pharmacy.  In  1905  Dr.  Joseph  McFarland  joined  the 
teaching  staff  as  professor  of  bacteriology.  Dr.  John  R.  Minehart  became  adjunct  professor 
of  materia  medica.  Dr.  William  J.  Ritter  became  a  demonstrator  of  chemistry  in  1902  and 
adjunct  professor  of  pharmaceutic  chemistry  in  1906. 

I.  V.  Stanley  Stanislaus 

In  1906  I.  V.  Stanley  Stanislaus  became  professor  of  pharmacy  and  dean.  He  was  a 
graduate  of  the  University  of  Illinois  who  had  studied  later  at  the  University  of  Zurich. 
Returning  home  he  was  for  four  years  professor  of  pharmacy  at  Xotre  Dame  University. 
Subsequently  he  had  been  an  instructor  in  the  Brooklyn  College  of  Pharmacy,  from  which 
he  came  to  Philadelphia.  In  1907  Dr.  Charles  H.  Kimberly  was  elected  professor  of  materia 
medica.  In  1911  Dr.  J.  Hamilton  Small  was  made  professor  of  bacteriology,  and  Ambrose 
Hunsberger  a  lecturer  on  commercial  pharmacy. 

In  1907,  after  the  enactment  of  the  Federal  Food  and  Drugs  Law,  in  answer  to  the  im- 
mediate demand  which  was  felt  for  food  and  drug  analysts,  a  separate  Department  of  Phar- 


272       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

maceutic  Chemistry  was  established.  The  degree  of  pharmaceutic  chemist  was  offered  to  the 
students  who  successfully  completed  3,000  hours  of  instruction  extending  over  two  college 
years.  Dr.  George  H.  Meeker  was  made  the  dean  of  the  new  department.  He  was  a  graduate 
of  Lafayette  College,  who  had  later  studied  abroad.  He  had  been  a  practical  chemist  and 
the  manager  of  various  industrial  plants,  and  since  1897  he  had  been  professor  of  chemistry 
in  the  Medical  Department  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College. 

In  the  spring  of  1912,  Professor  Stanislaus  resigned  as  Dean  of  the  Department  of  Phar- 
macy to  be  succeeded  by  Professor  J.  VV.  Stunner,  who  came  to  the  College  from  Purdue 
University.  He  assumed  administrative  charge  of  the  Department  and  acted  as  professor  of 
pharmacy  and  organic  chemistry. 

Soon  afterward  the  Departments  of  Pharmacy  and  Pharmaceutic  Chemistry  were  united 
to  form  the  new  Department  of  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry.  The  course  was  lengthened,  and 
made  to  cover  three  years,  the  last  year  involving  class  and  laboratory  instruction  for  five 
and  a  half  days  in  the  week.  Professors  Sturmer  and  Meeker  served  as  the  deans  of  the 
consolidated  schools.  In  1914  it  conferred  degrees  upon  three  doctors  of  pharmacy,  twelve 
pharmaceutic  chemists,  and  forty  graduates  in  pharmacy. 


I.  V.  STANLEY  STANISLAUS 

I.  V.  Stanley  Stanislaus  graduated  from  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1895.  Became 
professor  of  pharmacy  at  Notre  Dame  University  (1897-1901),  from  which  he  received  degree 
of  bachelor  of  science  (1900)  and  instructor  in  pharmacy  in  Brooklyn  College  of  Pharmacy 
(1904-1906),  from  which  he  obtained  degree  of  doctor  of  pharmacy  (1905).  Elected  professor

Charles  H.  Kimberly 

Charles  II.  Kimberly  graduated  from  Ohio  State  University,  receiving  his  B.S.  in  1900, 
M.S.  in  1901,  and  Ph.D.  in  190S.  Assistant  professor  of  pharmacy  in  North  Dakota  Agri- 
cultural College  (1902-1906),  and  served  as  chemist  for  North  Dakota  Food  and  Drug  Com-

ment  of  Chemistry  and  as  professor  of  materia  medica  in  Department  of  Pharmacy  (1907). 
After  a  few  years  relinquished  his  duties  as  teacher  of  materia  medica,  and  devoted  entire 
time  to  chemistry.  For  several  years  had  full  charge  of  laboratory  instruction  in  the  food 
and  drug  course.  Resigned  (1914)  to  enter  the  industrial  field. 

The  Department  had  six  laboratories : 

(1)  The   manufacturing   and   dispensing   laboratory    for   practice   in   the   production   of 
chemicals  and  pharmaceutical  preparations,  and  the  compounding  of  prescriptions. 

(2)  The  general  chemical  laboratory  for  the  course  in  experimental  and  qualitative  in- 
organic, analytic  and  hygienic  chemistry. 

(3)  The  quantitative  laboratory  for  instruction  and  practical  drug  assaying,  the  identi- 
fication and  estimation  of  alkaloids,  examination  of  Pharmaceuticals,  foods,  water,  etc. 

(4)  The  laboratory  of  botany,  pharmacognosy  and  microscopy   for  the  study  of  vege- 
table drugs,  foods  and  powders. 

(5)'  The  bacteriological  laboratory  for  the  practice  of  the  technique  of  bacteriology. 
(6)   The  physiological  laboratory  for  testing  the  physiologic  effects  of  drugs  upon  frogs, 
rabbits,  cats,  etc. 


274       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

The  laboratory  of  pharmacy  was  a  commodious  room  arranged  for  350  students ;  200 
could  work  in  it  at  one  time.  The  chemical  laboratories  were  said  to  have  been  ''the  hand- 
somest and  most  complete  to  be  found  in  the  state."  The  growth  of  the  Department  of  Phar- 
macy was  rapid,  and  the  attendance  for  the  session  preceding  the  merger  with  the  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy  exceeded  200. 

The  first  class  of  five  students— J.  B.  Hagenbach,  William  Alvin  Lum,  Frank  M.  Mooney, 
Harvey  E.  Wenner  and  George  C.  Wilson — immediately  upon  graduation  organized  the 
Alumni  Association  of  the  Department  of  Pharmacy  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College  of 
Philadelphia,  Mr.  Hagenbach  being  elected  its  first  president.  This  association  grew  and 
prospered  as  the  classes  increased  in  size,  until  the  consolidation  of  the  school  with  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  when  it  was  merged  with  the  Alumni  Association  of  that 
institution. 

At  the  time  of  the  consolidation,  the  Faculty  and  teaching  staff  of  the  Department  was 
constituted  as  follows : 

George  H.  Meeker,  Phar.D.,  Sc.D.,  L.D.,  Professor  of  Chemistry  and  Metallurgy,  Dean 

for  Chemistry. 
J.   W.    Sturmer,   Phar.D.,    Professor   of    Pharmacy   and   Organic   Chemistry,    Dean    for 

Pharmacy. 

Matthew  Beardwood,  A.M.,  M.D.,  Professor  of  General  Chemistry  and  Toxicology. 
Charles  E.  Vanderk'.eed,  B.Sc.,  A.C.,  Phar.D.,  Professor  of  Analytical  Chemistry. 
Frank  E.  Stewart,  Phar.D.,  M.D.,  Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and  Botany. 
Ardrey  H.  Downs,  M.D.,  Professor  of  Physiology. 
Joseph  McFarland,  M.D.,  Professor  of  Bacteriology. 
Benno  Kirchbaum,  Adjunct  Professor  of  Botany  and  Phannacognosy. 
Heber  W.  Youngken,  Ph.G.,  Ph.D.,  Adjunct  Professor  of   Botany  and  Pharmacognosy. 
Walter  R.  Fralic,  Ph.C.,  Assistant  Professor  of  Chemistry  and  Metallurgy. 
Robert  P.  Fischelis,  B.Sc.,  Phar.D.,  Lecturer  on  Commercial  Pharmacy. 
Stephen  R.  Ketcham,  Ph.G.,  M.D.,  Assistant  Professor  of  Bacteriology. 
J.  Edward  Brewer,  Phar.D.,  Instructor  in  Mineralogy  and  Assaying. 
Franklin  M.  Apple,  Phar.D.,  Lecturer  on  Prescription  Compounding. 
Bell  W.  Youngken,  Ph.G.,  Assistant  in  Pharmacy. 
Basil  J.  F.  Mott,  Ph.G.,  Assistant  in  Pharmacy. 
Xathan  A.  Simpson,  Ph.G.,  Assistant  in  Chemistry. 
Paul  S.  Pittenger,  Phar.D.,  Lecturer  on  Pharmacology. 
W.  Wilson  McNeary,  Phar.D.,  Lecturer  on  Commercial  Topics. 
Arthur  F.  Hutchins,  M.D.,  Lecturer  on  Serums  and  Bacterins. 

The  Alumni  Association  of  the  Department  of  Pharmacy  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical 
College  was  organized  by  its  first  graduating  class,  in  the  spring  of  1899.  They  were  few 
in  number,  but  proved  to  be  the  men  with  vision.  The  preamble  to  the  constitution  adopted,  set 
forth  that  the  Alumni  Association  had  been 

"founded  to  unite  our  graduates  into  closer  professional  and  social  relationship,  to  advance 
the  interest  of  our  College,  and  to  promote  the  cause  of  higher  pharmaceutical  education." 

The  organization,  though  small,  functioned  from  its  very  inception ;  and  in  the  next  year, 
in  1900,  arrangements  were  perfected  for  alumni  quizzes,  and  quiz  masters  were  appointed. 
These  quizzes  were  continued  until  the  expansion  of  the  College  curriculum  transferred  to 
the  faculty,  the  responsibility  for  recitations  and  reviews. 

The  next  important  step  was  taken  by  the  Alumni  Association  at  its  January  meeting 
in  1901.  when  provision  was  made  for  a  reception  and  social  to  be  tendered  the  students 
of  the  department.  This  event  proved  so  enjoyable,  and  was  so  fruitful  of  results,  that  the 
Alumni  Social  became  an  annual  function,  which  was  continued  to  the  year  of  the  merger. 

In  1905  the  association  had  grown  sufficiently  to  make  possible  the  instituting  of  monthly 
meetings  throughout  the  College  session.  In  1907  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  Department 
of  Pharmacy  co-operated  with  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  medical  and  dental  depart- 
ments in  the  establishing  of  the  Medico-Chi  Club,  which  was  housed  on  Arch  Street,  above 
Sixteenth,  provided  a  library,  restaurant,  billiard  rooms,  and  meeting  places  for  the  organiza- 
tions of  the  College,  and  which  played  an  important  role  in  student  activities  from  that 
time  forward  to  1916,  the  year  of  the  merger.

ROBERT  P.  FISCHELIS 

The  practice  of  awarding  annually  a  gold  medal  to  tHe  student  in  pharmacy  making 
the  highest  record,  and  awarding  life  membership  in  the  Alumni  Association,  to  the  student 
making  the  second  best  record,  dates  back  to  1909 ;  and  the  annual  banquet  to  the  graduating 
class,  as  an  alumni  activity,  had  its  inception  in  1912. 

It  may  be  seen  that  during  the  thirteen  years  of  its  existence  the  association  had  estab- 
lished a  record  for  unselfish  service  to  the  College,  and  to  the  students  in  its  classes.  It 
had  acquired  numerical  strength  and  solidarity.  It  had  clear  cut  ideas  as  to  its  functions 
and  potentialities.  The  time  was  ripe,  therefore,  for  the  obtaining  of  a  charter,  which  was 
granted  in  the  December  term  of  1913  of  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas  of  the  first  district 
of  Philadelphia,  and  a  certificate  issued  April  15,  1914.  This  certificate  bears  the  signature 
of  Judge  John  M.  Patterson,  is  signed  by  W.  Wilson  McNeary.  U.  Gilbert  Ruff,  Robert  P. 
Fischelis,  I.  Subin,  and  Heber  W.  Youngken,  in  behalf  of  the  association,  and  gives  the  fol- 
lowing board  of  directors: 

H.  Wilson  McNeary  John  L.  Ruhl  Wm.  E.  Crist 

Walter  E.  Smith  Robert  W.  Moss  Eugene  W.  Youngken 

Harry  B.  Roshon  Mortimer  M.  Smith  Tilden  B.  Bordeger 

Victor  Dorszewski  E.  L.  Weisgoerber  Herbert  G.  Lilly 

At  the  time  of  the  merger,  the  association  officers  were  as  follows: 

Honorary  President — J.  W.  Sturmer. 

President— U.  Gilbert  Ruff. 

First  Vice-President—Herbert  G.  Lilly.

The  Merger — The  Reason  for  It,  and  the  Outcome 
J.  W.  STURMEK 

The  Medico-Chirurgical  College  stood  in  the  path  of  the  Parkway.  The  construction  of 
this  thoroughfare  had  been  completed  from  Fairmount  Park  to  Logan  Square,  but  the  great 
expense  of  penetrating  the  solid  blocks  of  business  buildings  and  homes  from  the  latter 
point  to  City  Hall  had  given  pause  to  the  enterprise,  and  the  occupants  of  the  buildings  in- 
volved had  come  to  think  of  eviction  as  a  possibility  of  the  distant  future.  Like  the  dwellers 
at  the  foot  of  Mount  Vesuvius,  they  had  become  accustomed  to  the  danger  which  threatened, 
and  had  ceased  to  make  plans  for  removal  to  new  quarters. 


J.    W.   STURMER 

But  at  this  time — namely  in  1914 — the  city  rather  unexpectedly  resumed  work  on  the 
Parkway,  and  the  buildings  in  its  path  had  to  be  vacated  without  unnecessary  delay.  For 
the  Medico-Chirurgical  College  this  meant  prompt  action  in  securing  a  building,  suitable  for 
college  purposes,  and  large  enough  to  accommodate  the  seven  hundred  students  enrolled, 
and  the  various  laboratories  needed.  Such  a  structure  could  not  be  found.  Time  pressed, 
and  building  anew  was  out  of  the  question. 

It  was  at  this  psychological  moment  that  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  opened — or 
shall  we  say  resumed? — negotiations  with  a  view  to  merger.  And  in  June,  1916,  a  consolida- 
tion which  contemplated  the  absorption  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College,  with  all  its  de- 
partments, was  officially  consummated,  the  plan  involving  the  transfer  of  all  students  who 
would  be  accepted  by  the  University,  and  be  given  the  opportunity  to  complete  their  respective 
courses — a  plan  which  was  readily  carried  out  with  the  medical  and  the  dental  students. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       277 

But  the  University  had  no  department  of  pharmacy.  Nor  could  there  be  found  on  its 
campus,  lecture  and  laboratory  accommodations  for  pharmacy  students,  so  that  they  might 
complete  without  interruption,  the  course  upon  which  they  had  entered. 

Fortunately,  the  officers  and  trustees  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  were 
cognizant  of  the  situation,  and  promptly  offered  to  "take  over"  the  entire  department,  alumni, 
students  and  faculty,  and  to  carry  out  the  details  of  the  merger  contract  as  far  as  it  per- 
tained to  this  department.  As  a  result,  the  Department  of  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  of 
Medico-Chirurgical  College  was,  by  formal  action  of  the  Trustees  of  the  University,  and  of 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  merged  in  the  latter  institution— a  solution  which 
has  proven  a  most  happy  one  for  all  concerned.  The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was 
enlarged,  and  enabled  to  extend  and  to  diversify  its  activities.  The  Medico-Chi  alumni,  as 
well  as  students  and  faculty  members,  found  a  new  college  home. 

The  graduates  of  Medico-Chi  were  welcomed  to  full  membership  in  the  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  were  granted  all  the  rights  and  privi- 
leges enjoyed  by  the  members  who  had  received  their  training  at  P.C.P.,  while  the  students 
were  accepted  under  the  provisions  of  their  matriculation  contracts,  and  were  enrolled  with 
full  credit  in  accordance  with  their  scholastic  records.  The  faculty  members  assumed  posi- 
tions on  the  teaching  staff  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  In  short,  all  the  details 
of  a  complete  merger  were  carried  out  most  conscientiously,  and  with  exemplary  generosity. 

As  a  consequence,  the  Medico-Chi  contingent  does  not  now  exist  as  an  unassimilated 
and  unassimilable  faction  within  the  College  organization,  but,  on  the  contrary,  has  estab- 
lished a  community  of  interest  with  the  other  members,  has  recognized  the  same  ideals,  and 
is  working  for  the  same  results.  The  merger  has  been  complete— the  only  form  not  followed 
by  disappointments  and  heartaches,  which  have,  unfortunately,  so  frequently  come  as  the 
aftermath  of  college  consolidations. 

The  Department  of  Pharmacy  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College  functioned  for  eighteen 
years,  from  1898  to  1916,  and  conducted  its  work  successfully  and  creditably.  In  this  period 
more  than  a  thousand  pharmacy  students  received  systematic  instruction,  and  more  than 
seven  hundred  were  awarded  degrees.  The  department  kept  pace  with  the  educational 
progress  of  pharmacy,  and  at  the  time  of  the  merger,  was  a  member  of  the  American  Con- 
ference of  Pharmaceutical  Faculties  and  had  established  a  record  for  thorough  teaching,  high 
scholastic  standards,  and  also  for  its  friendly  attitude  toward  sister  institutions. 

The  physical  equipment  of  the  College  was  splendid  and  the  enrollment  most  encourag- 
ing. In  the  session  of  1915-16,  more  than  two  hundred  pharmacy  students  completed  the 
year's  work.  There  were  twelve  graduates  in  Pharmaceutical  Chemistry.  Indeed,  the  ses- 
sion which  ended  with  the  merger,  was  the  most  successful  in  the  history  of  the  Department 
of  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry.  That  the  activities  of  this  department  were  brought  to  an 
abrupt  end,  not  in  its  decline,  but  at  the  height  of  its  prosperity,  and  when  its  future  seemed 
brightest,  helps  to  make  the  memory  picture  of  the  Medico-Chi  graduates  an  altogether 
pleasant  one.  For,  naturally,  when  the  boys  from  Medico-Chi  call  up  remembrances  of  Col- 
lege life — so  inextricably  intertwined  with  their  memories  of  youth— it  is  their  own  class- 
mates which  they  visualize — and  the  instructors  who  taught  them,  and  the  lecture  rooms  and 
laboratories  in  the  imposing  college  building,  which  in  1916  was  demolished  to  make  room 
lor  that  expanse  of  asphalt  over  which  now  passes  the  swift-moving  vehicular  traffic  of  the 
Parkway. 

But  Medico-Chi  has  run  its  course,  and  is  now  a  mere  memory.  The  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy  and  Science,  on  the  other  hand,  is  an  actuality,  and  the  new  Alma  Mater 
ready  to  bestow  favors  upon  her  children,  irrespective  as  to  where  may  be  laid  the  scenes 
of  their  college  recollections— whether  on  Tenth  Street  or  on  Seventeenth  Street. 

The  old  home  cannot  be  forgotten  by  the  men  from  Medico-Chi.  But  it  is  in  the  present 
home  where  they  must  now  foregather,  to  participate  in  the  activities  of  today,  and  to  plan 
and  work  for  the  future.  They  cannot  merge  the  past ;  but  they  have  merged  their  present 
interests,  and  have  transferred  their  loyalty— whole-heartedly,  unreservedly  and  completely 
—a  fact  which  has  made  possible  a  college  consolidation  not  followed  by  disappointments  or 
regrets.

CHAPTER  IX 
AMERICAN  JOURNAL  OF  PHARMACY 

The  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  is  one  of  the  earliest  periodicals  of  its 
kind,  and  is  recognized  at  home  and  abroad  as  the  leading  scientific  pharmaceutical 
periodical  of  this  country.  Hence  its  history  is  of  national  and  international  in- 
terest, and  is  as  follows  : 

American  Journal  of  Pharmacy 

IVOR  GRIFFITH,  PH.M. 
Editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy 

The  Journal  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  established  in  1825  by  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  for  the  advancement  of  pharmacy  and  allied  sciences  and 
the  promotion  of  correlated  education  and  research,  through  the  publication  of  original  arti- 
cles, selections  from  scientific  periodicals  and  books,  transactions  of  the  College,  editorials, 
reviews  and  such  other  matter  as  might  be  deemed  desirable.  In  brief,  its  main  purpose  was 
to  promote  the  growth  and  development  of  pharmaceutical  science  and  to  improve  the  con- 
ditions and  professional  status  of  pharmaceutical  practice.  That  it  has  fulfilled  this  mission 
is  shown  by  the  character  and  extent  of  its  work  during  the  past  ninety-six  years. 

The  original  Publishing  Committee  consisted  of  Samuel  Jackson,  Henry  Troth,  Solomon 
Temple,  Ellis  H.  Yarnall,  and  Daniel  B.  Smith,  who  was  chairman  of  the  committee  and 
practically  acted  as  editor ;  and  under  the  guidance  of  that  talented  authority,  versatile  scien- 
tist and  public-spirited  pharmacist,  the  publication  was  established  on  a  high  plane  as  an 
ethical  and  scientific  pharmaceutical  journal. 

Four  preliminary  numbers  were  published  at  irregular  intervals  from  1825  to  1828 ; 
in  1829  the  Publishing  Committee  was  reorganized  with  Benjamin  Ellis  as  the  editor,  and 
the  publication  of  the  Journal  at  regular  periods  was  begun  and  has  been  continued  since. 

When  the  College  determined  upon  the  publication  of  the  Journal  at  regular  periods,  it 
was  also  agreed  to  commence  the  consecutive  numbering  of  the  volumes  with  the  new  issue, 
hence  the  four  numbers  previously  published  became  known  as  the  "Preliminary  Volume." 
From  then  on  until  1852,  four  numbers  constituted  a  volume,  except  in  1847,  when  five  num- 
bers were  published. 

Upon  the  decease  of  Benjamin  Ellis  in  April,  1831,  Robert  E.  Griffith  was  appointed 
editor,  and  in  1835  the  Publishing  Committee  was  reorganized  by  the  addition  of  Franklin 
Bache,  Elias  Durand,  W.  Hodgson,  Jr.,  Joseph  Scattergood,  John  C.  Allen  and  Dillwyn 
Parrish ;  and  the  name  of  the  Journal  was  changed  to  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy. 

Robert  E.  Griffith's  service  as  editor  added  greatly  to  the  influence  of  the  Journal,  which 
had  commenced  to  attract  notice  abroad,  and  in  1836  upon  his  resignation,  Joseph  Carson  was 
chosen  editor,  and  he  associated  with  himself  Robert  Bridges  as  associate  editor  from  1839 
to  1845,  and  William  Procter,  Jr.,  from  1848  to  1850. 

During  the  editorship  of  Joseph  Carson,  several  circumstances  transpired  to  improve  the 
scientific  character  of  the  Journal.  The  invitation  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
from  the  official  committee  to  participate  in  the  revision  of  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia 
in  1840  gave  an  impetus  to  pharmacy  in  Philadelphia  which  resulted  in  the  establishment  of 
the  pharmaceutical  meetings  of  the  College  and  added  considerable  to  the  prestige  and  value 
of  the  Journal. 

In  1835  it  was  decided  to  issue  the  Journal  as  a  quarterly,  and  this  was  done  until  1853, 
when  it  was  issued  bimonthly;  with  the  forty-third  volume  (1871),  it  became  necessary,  due 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       279 

to  its  increasing  popularity,  to  issue  the  Journal  monthly,  and  this  policy  has  obtained  in  the 
succeeding  issues  of  the  Journal. 

In  1848  when  William  Procter,  Jr.,  was  made  associate  editor  of  the  Journal,  an  editorial 
department  was  started,  which,  during  his  incumbency  as  editor,  became  an  important  feature 
of  the  publication. 

After  a  long  period  of  active  service,  Dr.  Carson  retired  in  July,  1850,  and  William 
Procter,  Jr.,  was  chosen  editor. 

In  1852  an  advertising  department  was  introduced,  and  some  changes  made  in  the  price, 
as  well  as  in  the  size  of  the  Journal.  It  was  at  this  time  that  the  American  Pharmaceutical 


IVOR  GRIFFITH 

Association  came  into  existence,  and  for  many  years  the  minutes  of  the  proceedings  of  that 
organization  and  most  of  the  papers  presented  at  the  annual  meetings  of  the  Association  were 
published  in  the  Journal  almost  verbatim,  although  no  official  connection  existed. 

The  Journal  made  notable  progress  until  the  Civil  War  when  it  became  very  much  ham- 
pered in  its  work,  but  the  editor  and  committee  persevered  through  this  crisis,  and  in  1865 
a  favorable  reaction  occurred  which  finally  culminated  in  the  election  (in  1871)  of  a  business 
manager,  Henry  H.  Wolle  being  chosen  to  fill  this  position. 

Upon  the  resignation  of  William  Procter,  Jr.,  as  editor  in  April,  1871,  due  to  failing 
health,  John  M.  Maisch  was  chosen  to  succeed  him,  the  Publishing  Committee  at  this  time 
consisting  of  William  Procter,  Jr.,  John  M.  Maisch,  Charles  Bullock,  A.  B.  Taylor  and 
Thomas  S.  Wiegand.  Upon  the  organization  of  the  committee  a  chairman,  treasurer  and 
secretary  were  elected. 


280       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

In  March,  1872,  James  T.  Shinn  was  elected  in  place  of  A.  B.  Taylor,  and  in  1874,  upon 
the  death  of  William  Procter,  Jr.,  Henry  X.  Rittenhouse  was  chosen  to  succeed  him. 

Upon  the  death  of  John  M.  Maisch  in  1893,  Henry  Trimble  was  elected  as  editor,  and 
the  Publishing  Committee  was  reorganized  (1894)  as  follows:  Henry  X.  Rittenhouse,  Samuel 
P.  Sadtler,  Wallace  Procter,  Joseph  W.  England,  and  the  editor. 

Upon  the  resignation  of  Mr.  Wolle  as  business  manager  in  1894,  Miss  Florence  Yaple 
was  chosen  his  successor,  and  she  remained  with  the  Journal  in  that  capacity,  and  later  a.< 
assistant  editor,  until  her  death  in  1912. 

In  1898  when  Henry  Trimble  died,  and  Henry  Kraemer  was  chosen  to  succeed  him  as 
editor,  the  Publishing  Committee  was  increased  to  seven  members ;  Dr.  Richard  V.  Mattison 
and  Joseph  P.  Remington  being  the  additional  members. 

By  this  time,  the  field  of  which  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  had  been  the  sole 
occupant  in  the  United  States  for  almost  three-quarters  of  a  century,  had  been  considerably 
extended  and  to  a  great  extent  was  now  cultivated  by  several  other  journals.  The  pharma- 
ceutical literature  of  Xorth  America,  which  at  the  time  of  the  inception  of  the  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy  was  in  its  infancy,  and  which  in  fact  dates  its  birth  with  the  beginning 
of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  was  by  this  time  well-known  and  duly  appreciated 
thoroughout  the  civilized  world. 

Henry  Kraemer  entered  upon  his  field  of  service  as  editor  and  fully  maintained  the  high 
scientific  character  of  the  Journal. 

In  1904  the  title  of  the  Publishing  Committee  was  changed  to  that  of  Publication  Com- 
mittee, and  in  1922  to  Committee  on  Publication. 

In  1917  Henry  Kraemer  resigned  the  editorship  because  of  his  acceptance  of  a  chair  in 
the  faculty  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  and  George  M.  Beringer  was  chosen  as  editor, 
at  the  same  time  holding  the  position  of  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College. 
Under  his  able  management  the  Journal  was  materially  increased  in  size,  and  continued  to  be 
the  journalistic  advocate  and  consistent  exponent  of  the  ethical  practice  of  pharmacy. 

The  business  management  of  the  Journal  during  the  editorship  of  Mr.  Beringer,  and  to  the 
present  time,  has  been  efficiently  cared  for  by  H.  J.  LaWall  and  C.  E.  Wetzel,  who  have 
placed  the  business  activities  upon  a  sound  basis. 

Upon  Mr.  Beringer's  resignation  as  editor  in  March,  1921,  Ivor  Griffith  was  elected  editor. 
He  has  endeavored  to  keep  the  Journal  true  to  its  name — that  is,  an  American  journal  of 
pharmacy,  which  will  encourage  research  by  American  pharmacists  and  at  the  same  time  be 
of  direct  value  to  the  profession  at  large.  His  aim  is  to  perpetuate  the  long  established 
policies  of  the  Journal  and  to  keep  sacred  the  splendid  traditions  which  have  obtained  under 
the  management  of  the  eminent  men  who  have  preceded  him.

Henry  II.  \Volle  (1836-1898).  Was  born  in  the  neighborhood  of  Bethlehem,  Pa.,  and 
was  the  son  of  Bishop  \Volle  of  the  Moravian  Church.  In  early  life  was  engaged  in  the 
hardware  business  and  the  silk  trade.  In  1861  he  accepted  a  position  in  the  U.  S.  Post  Office 
of  Philadelphia,  which  he  retained  during  the  remainder  of  his  life.  His  efficiency  in  such 
work  was  duly  recognized  and  in  1876  he  was  appointed  postmaster  of  the  Centennial  post 
office.  His  work  with  the  Journal  was  performed  with  devotion  and  care. 


FLORENCE  YAPLE 

Florence  Yaple  (1865-1912).  Was  born  in  Hallsville,  Ohio.  Early  education  in  public- 
schools,  later  a  teacher  in  the  district  school.  Soon  relinquished  teaching  to  study  pharmacy. 
Matriculated  (1888)  at  Cincinnati  College  of  Pharmacy,  taking  one  course  of  lectures.  Be- 
came assistant  to  Susan  Hayhurst  at  Woman's  Medical  College  of  Philadelphia  (1891-1893). 
then  with  David  F.  Swisher,  of  Darby  (1893-1894).  Graduated  from  College  in  1895,  sub- 
ject of  thesis  being  "Some  Commercial  Cocoas."  Became  business  manager  of  Journal 
(1894)  ;  member  of  College  (1903)  ;  member  of  Publishing  Committee  (1906)  ;  and  member 
of  Executive  Board  of  Alumni  Association  for  a  number  of  years.  Naturally  a  student, 
she  took  a  deep  interest  in  problems  of  education.  Modest  and  retiring,  her  work  was 
always  done  in  the  most  careful  manner,  while  by  reason  of  her  familiarity  with  the  tradi- 
tions of  the  College  and  her  loyalty,  her  conscientious  service  inspired  universal  respect.

CHAPTER  X 
CENTENNIAL  YEAR 

The  first  century  of  the  existence  of  the  College  rapidly  approached  comple- 
tion, and  President  Howard  B.  French  tendered  a  dinner  to  the  officers  of  the  Col- 
lege, members  of  the  Faculty  and  a  number  of  distinguished  guests  at  the  Union 
League  Club  of  Philadelphia  on  February  23,  1911,  in  commemoration  of  the  nine- 
tieth anniversary.  There  was  a  beautifully  illustrated  menu  bound  in  leather  given 
to  each  one  present,  as  a  memento  of  the  occasion.  John  E.  Reyburn,  then  Mayor 
of  the  city,  made  an  address.  Near  to  this  man's  heart  was  a  Boulevard  or  Park- 
way to  extend  from  the  center  of  the  city  to  Fairmount  Park,  and  other  plans  for 
the  beautification  and  advancement  of  Philadelphia.  As  the  College  had  reached 
a  realization  of  the  need  of  further  enlargement  of  its  buildings  not  to  be  brought 
about  on  Tenth  Street,  many  now  looked  hopefully  to  a  site  for  a  new  edifice  worthy 
of  the  institution  upon  the  new  Boulevard.  Sister  colleges  had  their  representatives 
at  the  table.  Henry  F.  Walton,  President  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College,  was 
present  and  spoke.  Dean  J.  W.  Holland  bore  the  congratulations  of  the  Jefferson 
Medical  College.  Other  speakers,  in  addition  to  President  French,  were  Yice- 
President  Lemberger  and  Professors  Remington,  Sadtler,  Kraemer  and  Moerk. 

An  outgrowth  of  the  anniversary  was  the  presentation  to  the  College  of  a  por- 
trait of  President  French  at  a  testimonial  dinner  which  was  tendered  him  at  the 
Union  League  on  April  4,  1911.  The  painting  was  the  work  of  Hugh  H.  Brecken- 
ridge,  the  well-known  artist.  The  presentation  was  accompanied  by  a  number  of 
speeches  which  took  the  form  of  personal  tributes.  Professor  Remington,  very 
expert  in  such  matters,  acted  as  toastmaster.  George  M.  Beringer,  chairman  of  the 
Portrait  Committee,  as  well  as  the  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Col- 
lege, made  the  presentation  speech  on  behalf  of  the  members,  and  the  alumni,  in  all 
some  1,200  persons,  who  were  contributors  to  the  fund. 

"It  came  from  the  graduates,"  said  Mr.  Beringer,  "who  are  praying  that  a  better 
location  and  more  ample  facilities  may  soon  be  at  the  command  of  the  College,"  that 
"with  enlarged  opportunities  still  greater  achievements"  may  result.  "We  ask," 
he  continued,  "that  this  portrait  be  preserved  and  safeguarded,  and  trust  that  it 
may  be  but  another  inspiration  to  the  members  for  the  perpetuation  of  that  in- 
tegrity, sincerity,  fidelity  and  adherence  to  principles  that  have  always  character- 
ized the  management  of  the  institution.  May  the  sentiments  promulgated  with  its 
inception  and  associated  with  this  movement  live  forever.  May  the  portrait  as  it 
hangs  on  the  College  walls  prove  a  silent,  yet  effective,  example,  worthy  of  emula- 
tion, that  shall  stimulate  the  coming  generations  of  students  to  their  highest  attain- 
ments, and  maintain  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  the  lead  of  all  in 
pharmaceutical  education." 

Dr.  Richard  V.  Mattison,  first  vice-president,  made  the  speech  of  acceptance 
of  this  gift  in  tribute  to  the  "thoughtful,  clear-sighted,  far-reaching  and  most  un- 
usual labor  upon  behalf  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,"  by  President 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       283 

French.  Again  Mayor  Reyburn  spoke.  Dr.  Xathan  C.  Schaeffer,  State  Superin- 
tendent of  Public  Instruction,  E.  ].  Cattell,  and  Judge  Isaac  Johnson,  also  made 
addresses. 

Already,  ten  years  before  the  event,  the  College  had  a  Committee  on  Cen- 
tenary Celebration,  consisting  of  George  M.  lieringer,  chairman,  Joseph  P.  Rem- 
ington. Henry  Kraemer,  Samuel  P.  Sadtler  and  Martin  I.  \\'ilbert.  The  Alumni 
Association  now  bent  its  efforts  towards  assembling  a  building  fund  for  suitable 
ne\v  edifices  to  be  placed  upon  a  proper  site,  when  it  should  be  obtained.  Money 
was  subscribed  and  many  hoped  that  the  College  might  be  put  in  the  possession 
of  substantial  sums  when  it  should  have  reached  its  Centennial  Year. 

Committee  on  Centennial  Celebration 

In  1920  when  the  centenary  was  but  twelve  months  away  new  groups  were 
organized  for  giving  direction  to  the  anniversary-activities  of  the  College.  At  the 
annual  meeting  of  March  29,  1920,  followed  by  the  special  meeting  of  April  26. 
1920,  plans  were  made  for  the  publication  of  an  anniversary  volume  which  should 
include  "a  complete  historical  account "  of  the  College  and  its  development,  with 
a  report  of  the  exercises  attending  the  celebration  of  the  centennial  and  biograph- 
ical data  concerning  the  founders,  officers,  professors  and  graduates  of  the  insti- 
tution. 

It  was  resolved  that  there  should  be  a  General  Committee  on  Centennial  Cele- 
bration. The  committee  was  to  be  divided  into  sub-committees.  One  of  these,  of 
ten  members  "residing  in  Philadelphia  or  within  easy  access  of  the  city,"  should 
concern  itself  with  the  "organization"  of  the  work,  which  should  be  directed  by  an 
executive-secretary.  To  this  committee  President  French  appointed  Dr.  Richard 
Y.  Mattison  and  Aubrey  H.  Weightman  to  represent  the  College;  George  M. 
Beringer.  \Yilliam  L.  Cliffe  and  Joseph  W.  England,  the  Board  of  Trustees : 
Charles  H.  La  Wall,  E.  Fullerton  Cook  and  F.  P.  Stroup,  the  Faculty ;  and  Otto 
Kraus  and  R.  P.  Fischelis,  the  alumni.  E.  Fullerton  Cook  was  made  executive- 
secretary. 

The  slogan  for  1921  was  "New  Charter,  New  Site,  New  Buildings,  Academic 
Standard,  Enlarged  Faculty,  Increased  Activities."  Already  the  new  charter  had 
been  secured,  authorizing  the  use  of  the  title  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and 
Science,  with  the  right  to  confer  upon  students  advanced  degrees.  A  site  on  the 
Parkway  would  be  found.  Tentative  plans  were  shown  during  Commencement 
Week  in  1920  calling  for  six  buildings — an  Administration  Building,  a  Lecture 
Hall,  and  Laboratories  of  Pharmacy,  Chemistry,  Botany,  Biology,  Bacteriology  and 
Research.  It  was  resolved  that  Commencement  Week  in  the  following  year  should 
be  devoted  to  the  Centennial  Celebration.  The  alumni  in  all  parts  of  the  world 
would  be  addressed  and  asked  to  return  to  the  College  at  this  time.  A  hope  was 
held  out  that  a  very  large  proportion  of  the  old  graduates  would  respond  by  their 
presence  on  this  occasion.  Another  movement  of  the  year  was  directed  toward  an 
increase  in  College  membership.  Hundreds  not  yet  members  of  the  corporation 
would  be  invited  to  join  it  for  the  honor  of  having  their  names  on  the  roll  of  the 
oldest  pharmaceutical  organization  in  the  country  with  the  privilege  of  sharing  in 
its  control.  Other  pharmaceutical  associations,  it  was  suggested,  should  be  asked 


284       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

to  hold  their  meetings  in  Philadelphia  during  Centennial  Week  and  to  send  dele- 
gates to  the  College  Celebration. 

To  keep  the  College  upon  a  high  educational  plane,  abreast  of  all  the  modern 
movements  in  its  special  field,  a  fund  of  $2.000,000  should  be  raised  to  be  devoted 
to  three  purposes : 

A.  Endowment  to  support  Fellowships,  Professional  Research  and  Library. 

B.  Buildings. 

C.  Maintenance  and  Development. 

The  General  Committee  on  Centennial  Celebration  authorized  by  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  College,  and  appointed  at  the  special  meeting,  consisted  of  the  officers 
of  the  College,  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Faculty  and  officers  of  the 
Alumni  Association.  The  President  of  the  College  was  made  chairman  of  the  com- 
mittee. 

Sub-committees  were  authorized,  also,  the  chairman  of  these  constituting  an 
Executive  Committee,  as  follows  : 

Site— President  Howard  B.  French,  1920-1921  ;  Samuel  P.  Wetherill,  Jr.,  1921- 

Contributions — Richard  V.  Mattison,  M.D. 

Historical    Data   and    Centennial    Volume    (Historical    Volume)— George    M.    Beringer, 

1920-1921 ;  Joseph  W.  England,  1921- 
Plans  for  Centennial  Celebration— Charles  H.  La  Wall. 
College  Membership — Josiah  C.  Peacock. 
Publicity— Robert  P.  Fischelis. 
Executive  Secretary — E.  Fullerton  Cook. 

There  were  appointed,  also,  special  committees  representing  different  pharma- 
ceutical interests,  as  follows : 

Men  Pharmacists — Milton  D.  Allen,  Chairman. 

Women  Pharmacists — Mrs.  Charles  H.  LaWall,  Chairman. 

Wives  of  Graduates  Group — Mrs.  Nellie  F.  Lee,  Chairman. 

Army — 

Xavy — W.  T.  Minnick,  M.D.,  Chairman. 

Physicians — William  Duffield  Robinson,  M.D.,  Chairman. 

Wholesale  Druggists — Walter  V.  Smith,  Chairman. 

Chemical  Manufacturers — George  D.  Rosengarten,  Chairman. 

Pharmaceutical  Manufacturers — Milton  Campbell,  Chairman. 

Editors  and  Journalists — E.  G.  Eberle,  Chairman. 

Analytical  Chemists — Charles  E.  Vanderkleed,  Chairman. 

Members  of  State  Boards  of  Pharmacy — Lucius  L.  Walton. 

Salesmen — A.  J.  Staudt,  Chairman 

Students — F.  P.  Stroup,  Chairman. 

These  committees  rendered  most  valuable  and  efficient  service. 

Founders'  Day  Exercises 

While  the  principal  ceremonies  attending  the  Centennial  Celebration  were  not 
to  occur  until  June  in  connection  with  the  Commencement,  Founders'  Day,  Febru- 
ary 23,  1921,  would  not  be  allowed  to  pass  unnoticed.  Carpenters'  Hall,  where 
the  sixty-eight  apothecaries  had  met  one  hundred  years  before,  was  thrown  open 
to  visitors,  as  were  the  College  buildings.  In  the  afternoon,  at  two  o'clock,  the 
officers,  Faculty  and  members  of  the  College,  accompanied  by  some  of  the  do 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       285 

sccndants  of  the  founders,  among  them  Charles  Marshall,  a  great  grandson  of  the 
first  president,  Henry  Troth  and  William  Shewell  Ellis,  grandsons,  respectively,  of 
1  lenry  Troth  and  Charles  Ellis,  original  members  who  had  gathered  in  the  library  of 
the  College,  proceeded  in  motor  cars  to  the  historic  place.  President  Howard  B. 
French  called  the  meeting  to  order,  and  read  the  preamble  and  constitution  which 
had  been  adopted  by  the  College  from  a  copy  printed  in  1821.  Dr.  Charles  A. 
\Yeidemann,  the  recording  secretary,  read  from  the  original  minutes  the  transac- 
tions in  Carpenters'  Hall,  of  February  23,  1821,  and  the  subsequent  meetings  held 
on  March  13,  1821,  and  March  27,  1821,  at  which  the  first  officers  and  trustees 
of  the  College  were  elected.  George  M.  Heringer,  chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  made  a  brief  historical  address,  and  all  present,  before  leaving  the  hall. 
as  a  permanent  record  of  the  attendance,  signed  a  roll  book. 

In  the  evening  the  main  commemorative  exercises  were  held  in  the  College 
Auditorium,  which  was  crowded  with  members,  alumni  and  guests,  many  from 
distant  places.  President  French  presided  and  welcomed  the  guests,  the  Mayor  of 
the  city,  Hon.  J.  Hampton  Moore,  spoke,  pledging  his  aid  to  the  plan  to  secure  a 
suitable  site  for  new  buildings  for  the  College.  "It  is  wonderful  to  think,"  he  said. 
"of  the  world-wide  influence  of  this  institution  from  whose  walls  have  gone  forth 
not  only  men,  but  thoughts,  the  contributions  of  genius.  The  College  should  not 
have  remained  in  its  present  environment  so  long.  It  should  have  been  moved 
years  ago.  I  can  only  hope  that  in  some  way  the  Mayor,  long  before  his  retirement 
from  office,  may  be  able  to  assist  in  having  this  institution  housed  in  a  building 
more  suitable  for  a  school  of  its  dignity  and  service.  This  is  due  the  College  for 
the  work  it  has  performed  and  for  the  sake  of  its  splendid  student  body." 

Congratulations  poured  in  by  post  and  telegraph  from  the  University  of  Penn- 
sylvania, the  St.  Louis  College  of  Pharmacy,  the  University  of  Michigan,  the  Uni- 
versity of  Wisconsin,  the  Massachusetts  College  of  Pharmacy,  the  Medical  College 
of  Virginia,  Purdue  University,  the  Cincinnati  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  many 
other  institutions  and  individuals.  In  other  cities,  too,  "Founders'  Day"  was  ob- 
served by  meetings  and  dinners  of  alumni  of  the  College,  attesting  the  loyalty  of  the 
graduates.  Not  the  least  acceptable  of  the  tributes  at  this  time,  was  a  gift  of 
$20,000  from  Miss  Mary  A.  Dobbins,  in  memory  of  her  brother,  Edward  T.  Dob- 
bins, a  graduate  of  the  class  of  1862,  for  a  library  fund  of  the  College. 

In  addition,  the  membership  of  the  College  was  being  largely  increased.  For 
many  years  it  had  been  a  group  of  but  few  more  than  100  active  members ;  it  was 
now  a  body  of  1,200  members. 

Formal  addresses  were  then  made  as  follows : 

The  Founding  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science 

CHARLES  H.  LA  WALL,  Pn.G.,  Pn.M. 
Dean  and  Professor  of  Pharmacy,  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science 

We  of  the  present  are  met  together  upon  this  Centennial  occasion  to  do  homage  to  those 
of  the  past.  The  debt  to  the  Founders  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science 
is  not  ours  alone.  It  is  society's  debt  which  we,  as  co-sharers  in  the  benefits  which  have 
resulted  from  that  act,  are  privileged  to  repay  in  part  by  ceasing  from  our  present  labors  for 
a  time  in  order  that  we  may  bring  proper  tribute  to  the  memory  of  those  men  and  do  justice 
to  their  accomplishments. 


286       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

America  one  hundred  years  ago  was  a  sparsely  settled  country,  with  few  and  difficult 
means  of  intercommunication  between  distant  points,  neither  railways  nor  canals  having  yet 
appeared. 

Philadelphia  one  hundred  years  ago  was  the  largest  and  most  important  city  in  these 
United  States,  which  had  yet  to  celebrate  their  semi-centennial  as  a  nation. 

To  properly  appreciate  the  atmosphere  in  which  these  men  lived  and  the  difficulties  under 
which  they  labored  we  must  refresh  our  minds  regarding  some  of  the  material  changes  that 
have  taken  place  since  that  time. 

A  glimpse  at  a  Philadelphia  city  directory  for  1821  will  give  us  an  impression  of  the 
period  through  certain  occupations  which  are  listed  with  frequency,  and  which  are  missing 
in  a  directory  of  today.  Bleeder  and  Barber  is  one  of  the  noteworthy  instances  of  a  peculiar 
occupation  which  continued  even  beyond  that  period,  reminding  us  that  the  surgeon  was 
not  necessarily  a  medical  doctor,  nor  even  a  person  of  education.  This  is  perpetuated  in  the 
red  and  white  striped  barber  pole  of  today,  then  the  advertising  sign  of  the  bloodletter. 

Sea  Captain,  Mariner,  Shipti.'riyht,  Sailmakcr  are  redolent  of  the  days  of  wooden  sailing 
ships,  then  supreme  upon  Poseidon's  realm  and  just  beginning  to  be  displaced  by  steamboats 
upon  the  inland  waters  of  our  eastern  coast. 

Chimney  Sweep,  Sii'cep  Master,  Tallow  Chandler  are  reminiscent  of  the  open  hearth 
wood  fires  and  the  meager  illuminating  facilities  of  a  period  antedating  the  use  of  coal  or 
kerosene  for  heating  or  lighting. 

Carter,  Cordwaincr,  Fishmonger,  Ostler,  Scrivener,  Soapboiler,  Tavern  Keeper.  I'ictuaUer, 
Whitesmith  and  Woodsaivycr  each  carry  evidence  of  the  close  association  of  the  language 
of  that  time  with  the  mother  tongue  of  England. 

Pepperpotmaker  is  an  occupation  confirming  the  early  origin  of  Philadelphia's  gastrono- 
mic distinctiveness  which  is  still  acknowledged  in  some  directions. 

Friction  matches  had  yet  to  be  invented.  Daguerre  had  not  yet  practiced  his  art  of  re- 
producing likenesses,  hence  the  only  pictures  we  have  of  the  founders  who  died  before  1840 
are  from  oil  paintings  or  miniatures.  Gold  had  still  to  be  discovered  in  California,  and  oil  in 
Pennsylvania.  Elias  Howe  had  not  yet  invented  the  sewing  machine. 

Letter  postage  ranged  from  six  cents  to  twenty-five  cents  for  a  letter  of  a  single  sheet 
of  paper,  depending  upon  the  distance  it  was  carried. 

The  first  train  of  railway  cars  had  yet  to  run,  while  the  telegraph,  telephone  and  type- 
writer were  in  the  dim  and  misty  future.  Percolation  had  not  been  suggested  for  drug  ex- 
traction. Alkaloids  were  of  such  recent  discovery  that  they  were  still  called  vegetable  alkalies. 

The  work  of  Liebig,  Berzelius,  Wohler  and  Pasteur  was  still  to  be  done. 

Heat  was  discussed  as  a  material  substance  in  the  works  in  physics  and  was  usually  called 
caloric. 

Professional  and  scientific  interest  and  education  was  just  awakening  along  certain  lines. 

The  University  of  Pennsylvania  had  established  its  Medical  School  a  bare  half-century 
before  and  was  then  conducting  a  three-year  course,  attended  by  several  hundred  students, 
and  numbered  among  its  professors  such  distinguished  men  as  Dr.  John  Redman  Coxe, 
Dr.  Robert  Hare,  Dr.  Philip  S.  Physick  and  Dr.  W.  C.  P.  Barton.  The  course  in  Natural 
Sciences  at  this  same  Institution  had  not  yet  emerged  from  the  difficulties  which  attended  the 
teaching  of  science  at  a  time  when  science  and  irreligion  were  looked  upon  as  synonymous 
by  many.  In  that  department  the  professors  received  no  salaries  and  were  required  to  fur- 
nish their  own  apparatus  and  specimens  and  were  not  considered  members  of  the  faculty. 

There  was  no  distinct  department  of  Chemistry  at  the  University,  the  instruction  in  that 
branch  being  given  in  connection  with  medicine.  A  memorial  which  had  shortly  before  been 
presented  to  the  Trustees  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  signed  by  Drs.  Rush,  Wistar, 
Barton  and  Physick,  is  worth  quoting  in  full  to  illustrate  the  field  which  chemistry  was  then 
supposed  to  cover : 

"It  is  peculiarly  expedient  that  the  Professor  of  Chemistry  should  have  a  full  and  ex- 
tensive knowledge  of  medicine,  because  very  many  valuable  articles  of  the  materia  medica  are 
derived  from  chemistry  and  the  nature  of  these  articles  can  only  be  understood  by  a  person 
who  has  a  competent  knowledge  of  both  chemistry  and  medicine.  The  students  of  medicine 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       287 

who  almost  exclusively  support  the  Professorship  of  Chemistry  are  induced  to  do  so  in 
consequence  of  its  application  to  Pharmacy  and  the  different  branches  of  medicine.  No  man 
can  teach  Pharmacy  unless  he  has  some  knowledge  of  the  practice  of  medicine  and  the  ap- 
plication of  chemistry  to  physiology  and  the  other  branches  of  medical  science  can  only  be 
taught  by  a  chemist  who  understands  them." 

The  chair  of  Materia  Medica  in  the  University  was  changed  in  1818  to  the  chair  of 
Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy,  which  was  continued  unchanged  in  title  for  many  years.  A 
similar  change  had  occurred  some  years  before,  but  had  been  abandoned.  All  final  examina- 
tions for  a  doctorate  degree  were  conducted  orally  and  often  before  the  Trustees  of  the  In- 
stitution. Each  applicant  was  required  also  to  publicly  defend  his  thesis,  which  was  an 
original  dissertation  required  as  part  of  his  collegiate  work. 

Text  books  and  reference  books  on  Chemistry  were  fairly  numerous  even  then,  but  none 
had  appeared  in  which  the  use  of  chemical  symbols  simplified  the  teaching  of  reactions.  Some 
of  the  most  popular  treatises  of  the  day  on  Chemistry  were  in  the  style  of  "conversations,"  a 
stilted  and  prolix  form  which  has  no  counterpart  today.  "Chemical  Amusement"  was  the 
title  of  another  book  of  the  period.  This  was  written  by  Frederick  Accum,  who  is  noted  as 
the  author  of  "A  Treatise  on  Adulterations  of  Food,  and  Culinary  Poisons"  published  in 
Philadelphia  in  1820,  one  of  the  earliest  books  of  its  kind. 

James  Cutbush,  concerning  whose  work  and  character  Dr.  Edgar  Fahs  Smith  has  con- 
tributed a  most  interesting  monograph,  was  an  early  Philadelphia  Chemist  and  Apothecary 
who  published  many  articles  of  interest  and  value  upon  chemical  subjects  beginning  with 
1808. 

He  was  in  business  at  25  South  Fourth  Street  in  1819,  and  as  early  as  1812  had  adver- 
tised a  course  of  "Evening  Lectures  on  Chemistry"  and  also  "Lectures  on  Theoretical  and 
Practical  Pharmacy."  For  this  latter  course  a  fee  of  twenty  dollars  was  charged.  This 
course  was  evidently  neither  popular  nor  successful,  for  no  further  reference  is  found  re- 
lating to  it,  although  Mr.  Cutbush  attained  the  distinction  of  being  appointed  Assistant 
Apothecary  General  in  the  U.  S.  Army  on  August  12,  1814.  The  duties  of  this  office  must 
have  kept  him  busy  in  this  vicinity  for  in  the  Philadelphia  Directory  of  1821  he  is  listed  as 
"Assistant  Apothecary  General  of  the  U.  S.  Army,  residing  at  207  South  Fourth  Street." 

Conditions  in  Pharmacy  at  that  period  had  not  been  satisfactory  to  many  of  the  medical 
practitioners  of  the  period,  nor  to  the  leading  apothecaries,  as  they  were  then  officially 
termed.  The  practice  of  writing  prescriptions  had  been  established  in  Philadelphia  about 
1765  by  Dr.  John  Morgan,  who,  upon  returning  from  the  completion  of  his  medical  studies 
in  Europe,  had  been  accompanied  by  an  accomplished  apothecary  from  Great  Britain,  named 
Leighton,  who  brought  with  him  a  large  assortment  of  medicines.  This  first  prescription 
store  in  Philadelphia  did  not  long  survive  the  antagonism  of  local  physicians  and  pharma- 
cists, and  it  is  stated  that  even  at  the  close  of  the  American  Revolution  there  were  only  three 
medical  practitioners  in  Philadelphia  who  confined  their  practice  to  prescription  writing. 

An  unsuccessful  attempt  was  made  in  1789  to  interest  American  medical  men  in  the 
establishment  of  a  national  Pharmacopceia  in  which  Dr.  Samuel  Powell  Griffits,  of  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  took  a  prominent  part. 

Through  ignorance  and  carelessness  certain  abuses  crept  into  the  early  drug  business 
primarily  because  there  was  neither  control  from  without  nor  inspiration  from  within.  Patent 
medicines  became  numerous,  most  of  them  being  founded  upon  the  prescriptions  of  successful 
physicians,  for  it  must  be  remembered  that  a  prescription  was  at  that  time  believed  to  be  a 
combination  of  medicaments  satisfactory  for  the  relief  of  disease  without  the  necessity  of 
modification  or  alteration  to  suit  the  particular  individual  as  is  the  scientific  and  approved 
practice  today. 

Indeed,  at  that  time,  the  most  eminent  of  medical  practitioners  allowed  their  names  to 
be  attached  to  "Formularies"  which  purported  to  contain  the  successful  recipes  and  prescrip- 
tions from  the  most  celebrated  physicians  of  this  country  and  Europe.  Many  of  our  official 
compound  preparations  of  today,  still  widely  used,  are  prescriptions  of  illustrious  practitioners 
of  the  past.  Among  these  are  Dover's  Powder,  originated  by  Dr.  Thomas  Dover,  of  Eng- 
land, about  1725;  Huxham's  Tincture,  by  Dr.  John  Huxham,  of  England,  in  1755;  Fowler's 


288       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Solution,  by  Dr.  Thomas  Fowler,  of  England,  in  1786;  Blaud's  Pills,  by  Dr.  J.  Blaud,  of 
France,  in  1831;  Coxe's  Hive  Syrup,  by  Dr.  John  Redman  Coxe,  about  1810;  and  Jackson's 
Pectoral  Syrup,  by  Dr.  Samuel  Jackson,  about  1835 ;  and  many  others  might  be  given.  One 
of  the  serious  conditions  which  occurred  at  that  time  was  the  prevalence  of  adulteration  of 
drugs  and  medicines,  and  of  substitutions.  Indeed,  one  earlier  authority  published  an  entire 
work  upon  the  latter  subject  called  "Quid  Pro  Quo."  Another  in  an  American  work  pub- 
lished in  1818,  justified  substitution  in  certain  cases  as  follows: 

"First,  for  persons  who  haggle  over  price  and  care  not  for  quality,  and 
Second,  for  those  who  are  bad  pay,  to  compensate  for  the  risk  of  loss,"  and  accompanied 
this  advice  with  an  approved  list  of  substitutes  for  certain  drugs. 

The  culmination  of  the  feeling  regarding  this  condition  was  reached  early  in  1821,  when 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania  took  steps  leading  toward  the  establishment  of  a  course  in 
pharmacy,  at  the  request  of  the  medical  faculty. 

Resolutions  were  passed  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  U.  of  P.  on  February  6,  1821, 
in  which  announcement  was  made  of  the  intention  to  establish  a  course  of  instruction  in 
pharmacy  and  to  confer  the  honorary  degree  of  Ph.M.  upon  certain  prominent  apothecaries 
of  the  city  at  that  time. 

Prior  to  this,  however,  the  Trustees  of  the  University  had  received  an  application  in 
1816  from  Dr.  James  Mease,  a  Philadelphia  physician,  to  conduct  a  course  of  lectures  in 
Pharmacy.  This  permission  had  been  granted,  but  it  is  probable  that  no  applicants  appeared 
to  take  the  course,  for  no  further  mention  was  ever  made  of  it. 

The  Philadelphia  apothecaries  learning  of  the  action  of  the  University  Trustees,  on 
February  6  had  their  self-respect  challenged  by  the  move  to  conduct  a  course  in  Pharmacy 
without  first  consulting  the  apothecaries  themselves,  and  as  tradition  has  it,  the  two  individ- 
uals directly  responsible  for  the  protest  which  was  voiced  at  the  meeting  held  in  Carpenter's 
Hall,  on  the  day  whose  centennial  we  are  celebrating,  were  Peter  K.  Lehman  and  Henry  Troth, 
the  former  a  retailer,  the  latter  a  wholesale  druggist  of  prominence  at  that  time. 

On  February  23  the  initial  meeting  of  the  Flounders  of  this  College  was  held.  We  do 
not  know  the  complete  list  of  those  in  attendance,  but  we  know  that  Stephen  North  was  made 
Chairman,  and  Peter  Williamson,  Secretary,  and  resolutions  were  prepared  and  offered,  and 
after  some  debate  were  adopted  and  referred  to  a  committee,  who  were  given  power  to  call 
a  subsequent  meeting  "at  such  time  and  place  as  they  deem  proper." 

This  special  committee  was  noteworthy  for  the  character  and  standing  of  its  members. 
The  names  are  as  follows : 

Samuel  Jackson,  M.D.  40  N.  Fourth  Street 

Daniel  B.  Smith  33  High  (Market)  Street 

Robert  Milnor  161  S.  Second  Street

locations. 

SAMUEL  JACKSON  was  then  34  years  of  age,  and  had  been  associated  with  his  father  and 
brother  in  the  drug  business.  He  became  the  first  Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and  Phar- 
macy, resigning  in  1827  to  take  a  similar  chair  later  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  where 
he  continued  until  his  death  in  1872.  He  was  one  of  the  most  illustrious  of  practitioners  and 
teachers  of  medicine  of  his  time.  He  was  President  of  the  first  Philadelphia  Board  of 
Health,  which  had  as  its  secretary  the  renowned  Franklin  Bache,  later  Professor  of  Chem- 
istry in  our  College.  It  was  Dr.  Jackson  who  first  suggested  the  present  name  of  the  Phila- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       289 

delpliia  Academy  of  Xatural  Sciences,  and  that  organization  celebrates  its  Founders'  Day 
on  the  anniversary  of  the  date  upon  which  this  name  was  adopted,  the  previous  meetings 
having  been  informal  gatherings.  It  is  a  curious  commentary  on  the  period  that  Dr.  Jackson 
was  not  at  the  time  a  member  of  the  group  of  men  who  formed  the  Academy,  because  being 
a  rising  young  medical  practitioner  he  could  not  afford  the  inference  of  irreligion  which  at- 
tached to  those  who  were  too  deeply  interested  in  natural  science. 

DANIEL  B.  SMITH  was  a  young  man  of  29  at  the  time  of  this  meeting.  He  had  learned 
the  drug  business  with  John  Biddle,  of  Philadelphia,  and  had  entered  business  for  himself 
at  Sixth  and  Arch.  Later  the  firm  name  was  Smith  and  Hodgson,  who  were  subsequently 
succeeded  by  Bullock  and  Crenshaw.  In  1820,  he  aided  in  the  establishment  of  the  Ap- 
prentices' Library.  He  was  the  Chairman  of  the  first  publication  committee  of  the  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy  and  a  frequent  contributor  of  valuable  papers.  He  was  one  of  the 
original  members  of  the  Franklin  Institute,  and  one  of  the  incorporators  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Historical  Society.  He  was  one  of  the  incorporators  and  an  early  manager  of  the  Philadelphia 
Savings  Fund  Society.  He  helped  to  establish  the  House  of  Refuge.  In  1834,  he  became 
Professor  of  Moral  Philosophy,  English  Literature,  and  Chemistry  at  Haverford  College. 
He  returned  to  Philadelphia  twelve  years  later  and  re-entered  business.  He  became  the  first 
President  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1852.  In  1853,  he  retired  from 
business  and  lived  in  Germantown  until  his  decease  in  1883. 

ROBERT  MILNOR  was  a  druggist  at  161  South  Second  Street.  He  was  long  connected  with 
the  College  and  continued  as  a  member  until  1841  without  ever  taking  an  active  part,  so  far 
as  the  records  show. 

PETER  WILLIAMSON  was  a  youth  of  24  in  1821.  He  was  the  presiding  officer  at  the  semi- 
centennial in  1851.  He  was  connected  with  the  establishment  of  many  charitable  and  philan- 
thropic organizations  and  was  later  grand  master  of  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  in  Pennsyl- 
vania. He  established  the  first  free  scholarship  for  tuition  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  was  the  Founder  of  the  Southwark  Dispensary  and  a  Warden  in  the  Episcopal 
Church  in  Southwark. 

STEPHEN  XORTH  was  a  wholesale  druggist  at  14  North  Second  Street,  of  whom  we  know 
but  little,  as  he  was  evidently  but  a  young  man  and  died  in  1826,  but  a  few  years  later.  He 
was  second  Vice-President  of  the  College  from  1821  to  1824,  and  first  Vice-President  from 
1824  until  his  decease. 

HENRY  TROTH  was  a  young  man  of  27  when  the  Carpenters'  Hall  meeting  was  held.  He 
learned  the  drug  business  with  Jeremiah  Morris  in  the  store  on  Market  Street,  near  Seventh. 
He  aided  in  the  establishment  of  the  Philadelphia  Literary  Association,  afterward  including 
a  noteworthy  group  of  men  prominent  in  civic  and  educational  affairs.  In  1815,  when  he  was 
but  20  years  of  age,  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his  brother-in-law,  Edward  Needles,  an- 
other druggist,  under  the  name  of  Henry  Troth  &  Co.,  wholesale  druggists.  He  was  one 
of  the  originators  of  the  House  of  Refuge,  a  manager  of  the  Schuylkill  Navigation  Com- 
pany, and  was  connected  prominently  with  many  other  philanthropic,  business  and  scientific 
organizations.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Philadelphia  Councils  for  nine  years,  part  of  which 
time  he  presided  over  that  body.  He  was  a  trustee  of  Girard  College,  and  a  Director  of  the 
Bank  of  the  United  States.  He  was  one  of  the  first  to  burn  anthracite  coal  in  a  grate  and 
he  was  one  of  those  who  urged  and  aided  in  the  introduction  of  illuminating  gas.  Besides 
being  one  of  the  founders  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  he  was  its  Vice-President 
for  thirteen  years,  and  presided  over  many  of  its  meetings.  He  was  chairman  of  its  Board 
of  Trustees  for  many  years,  and  died  in  1892. 

SAMUEL  BIDDLE  was  a  druggist  of  142  High  Street,  concerning  whom  we  know  little,  as 
he,  too,  died  a  few  years  after,  in  1824. 

CHARLES  ALLEN  was  a  druggist  at  160  South  Second  Street,  resigned  in  1827  and  removed 
from  the  city. 

FREDERICK  BROWN  was  another  young  man  of  25,  who  learned  the  drug  business  with 
Charles  Marshall,  beginning  with  1812,  and  was  associated  with  him  for  a  number  of  years 


290       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 


subsequently.  He  was  in  business  for  himself  at  Fifth  and  Chestnut  Streets  for  many  years. 
He,  too,  was  prominently  identified  with  the  development  and  work  of  many  Philadelphia 
institutions,  was  manager  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital  for  a  time,  and  one  of  the  founders 
of  Laurel  Hill  Cemetery. 

These  brief  sketches  show  the  type  of  men  who  founded  this  great  Institution.  It  was 
an  enterprise  of  youth,  for  the  average  age  of  the  five  whose  ages  we  know,  was  but  28  years 
at  the  time  of  the  founding,  the  oldest  being  Samuel  Jackson,  who  was  34,  and  the  youngest, 
Peter  Williamson,  who  was  but  24. 

We  owe  a  debt  of  gratitude,  too,  for  the  selection  of  Carpenters'  Hall  for  their  initial 
meeting.  It  is  in  harmony  with  the  high  ideals  subsequently  displayed  in  handling  the  affairs 
of  the  College. 

This  Committee  called  their  associates  together  on  March  13,  at  which  time  they 
recommended  the  establishment  of  a  College  of  Apothecaries  and  the  erection  of  a  School 
of  Pharmacy.  There  were  sixty-eight  charter  members  of  this  proposed  college.  Their 
names  and  addresses  at  that  time  are  as  follows :

These  charter  members,  by  their  support  and  guidance,  likewise  deserve  credit  in  the 
founding  of  the  College,  for  from  their  ranks  came  the  officers  and  workers  of  many  sub- 
sequent years  of  activity,  and  among  them  were  individuals  of  great  prominence  in  city  affairs 
later. 

On  March  27,  1821,  scarcely  five  weeks  after  the  initial  meeting  on  February  23,  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Apothecaries  was  duly  organized  with  the  following  officers,  con- 
cerning each  of  whom  a  monograph  might  be  written  if  space  and  time  afforded.

etc.,  and  the  committe  appointed  for  that  purpose  reported  on  plans  for  instruction. 


292       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Early  in  April,  Samuel  Jackson,  M.D.,  was  elected  Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and 
Pharmacy,  and  Gerard  Troost,  M.D.,  was  elected  Professor  of  Chemistry. 

Samuel  Jackson's  career  has  already  been  described.  Of  that  of  Gerard  Troost  much 
might  be  written.  He  was  a  native  of  Holland  who  had  but  recently  settled  in  America,  who, 
during  the  few  years  he  resided  in  Philadelphia,  identified  himself  with  much  that  was  im- 
portant in  its  scientific  development.  He  was  the  first  President  of  the  Academy  of  Natural 
Sciences,  later  removed  to  Nashville,  where  he  associated  himself  with  the  State  University, 
and  still  later,  becoming  State  Geologist,  made  an  illustrious  name  for  himself  as  paleontologist. 

These  original  professors  were  the  first  of  an  illustrious  line,  of  which  not  only  our 
Institution  but  American  Pharmacy  and  American  Medicine  may  be  justly  proud.  During 
the  first  half  century  of  the  College,  the  following  names  are  those  of  professors  of  phar- 
macy, materia  medica  and  chemistry :  Jackson,  Troost,  Ellis,  Wood,  Bache,  Griffith,  Fisher, 
Bridges,  Carson,  Thomas,  Parrish  and  Procter. 

In  addition  to  inaugurating  the  course  of  instruction  which  was  planned  to  start  the  fol- 
lowing November  the  members  of  the  College  established  rules  and  regulations  for  the  con- 
duct of  the  business  on  the  part  of  the  members  of  the  College,  which  later  developed  into 
the  earliest  code  of  pharmaceutical  ethics  established  in  America. 

It  is  interesting  to  observe  from  newspaper  advertisements  published  shortly  before  the 
course  of  lectures  started  how  explicitly  all  of  the  details  are  discussed  and  how  frankly  the 
reasons  for  founding  the  College  are  stated. 

From  Poulson's  American  Daily  Advertiser,  Monday,  October  29,  1821: 

"COLLEGE  OF  APOTHECARIES 

"In  the  division  of  the  sciences  that  characterizes  the  philosophy  of  the  present  age,  and 
which  has  so  much  tended  to  their  improvement,  Pharmacy  has  been  withdrawn  from  the 
charge  of  the  Physician,  and  consigned  to  the  care  of  the  Apothecary.  In  Europe,  this 
division  has  long  been  recognized  and  sanctioned  by  the  Medical  Profession.  Colleges  of 
Apothecaries,  and  other  similar  institutions,  have  been  established,  devoted  expressly  to  in- 
struction in  Pharmacy  and  its  subsidiary  sciences.  On  the  continent,  most  of  the  respective 
governments  have  prohibited,  under  heavy  penalties,  any  one  from  selling  or  preparing  Drugs 
and  Medicines  for  administration,  who  has  not  passed  through  a  course  of  instruction,  and 
become  practically  acquainted  with  the  business.  In  Great  Britain,  most  Apothecaries  are 
regularly  instructed,  by  attendance  on  the  lectures  of  the  Colleges  of  Apothecaries  of  London 
and  Dublin,  and  are  associated  as  members,  while  abuses  in  the  business  are  guarded  against 
by  severe  penalties,  enacted  by  Parliamentary  statute. 

"In  this  country,  Pharmacy  has  been  entirely  neglected,  as  a  science.  Previous  instruc- 
tion has  not  been  considered  indispensable,  in  order  to  capacitate  an  Apothecary  for  pur- 
suing his  profession,  while  very  few  practitioners  of  Medicine  possessed  more  than  a  super- 
ficial acquaintance  with  the  principles  and  details  of  Pharmaceutic  knowledge.  From  this 
state  of  things,  many  evils,  some  of  a  serious  and  aggravated  nature,  have  flowed,  urgently 
requiring  correction. 

"Many  Apothecaries  of  this  city,  have  long  been  sensible  of  the  necessity  of  taking  some 
efficient  measures,  by  which  the  irregularities  and  abuses  that  have  crept  into  their  business, 
should  be  abolished ;  and  that  their  profession  should  be  placed  on  that  respectable  footing 
to  which  it  is  entitled,  by  its  usefulness  to  society,  and  as  an  important  branch  of  the  science 
of  Medicine.  With  these  views,  they  have  founded  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Apothecaries. 

"This  institution  has  already  established  many  wholesome  regulations  for  the  govern- 
ment of  its  members,  calculated  to  inspire  confidence  in  all  those  who  are  attached  to  it ;  and 
has  provided  for  a  course  of  public  instruction,  under  its  auspices,  in  Materia  Medica  and 
Pharmacy,  and  Pharmaceutic  Chemistry,  with  the  intention  of  adding,  ultimately,  other  col- 
lateral sciences.  A  Cabinet  is  also  forming  of  choice  and  selected  specimens  of  Drugs  and 
Medicines,  of  the  best  qualities. 

"An  institution  embracing  so  many  subjects  of  high  importance  and  utility  to  the  Medical 
Profession,  and  the  public  generally,  and  so  well  calculated  to  perfect  those  objects,  cannot 
fail  to  meet  the  approbation  and  support  of  the  liberal  and  well-informed  practitioner,  and 
every  member  of  society. 

"The  College  announces,  that  the  Courses  of  Lectures  will  commence  in  the  first  week  in 
November,  and  will  be  delivered  three  times  a  week,  in  the  evening,  during  the  winter,  in 
the  Hall  of  the  German  Society,  South  Seventh  Street.

From  Poulson's  Daily  Adi'ertiscr,  Tuesday  morning,  November  6,  1821 : 

"PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  APOTHECARIES 

"The  Introductory  Lecture  to  the  course  on  Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy,  will  be  de- 
livered by  Samuel  Jackson,  M.D.,  on  Friday  evening,  November  9th,  in  the  German  Society's 
Hall,  in  South  Seventh  Street,  between  Market  and  Chestnut;  and 

"The  Introductory  Lecture,  to  the  course  of  Pharmaceutic  Chemistry,  will  be  delivered 
by  Gerard  Troost,  M.D.,  on  Saturday  evening,  November  10th,  at  the  same  time  and  place." 

In  the  following  year,  1822,  when  the  College  was  incorporated,  the  name  was  changed 
from  the  "Philadelphia  College  of  Apothecaries"  to  "The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy." 
This  advertisement  of  several  years  later  will  also  be  found  to  be  of  interest. 

From  the  National  Gazette  and  Literary  Register,  Philadelphia,  Saturday  afternoon, 
November  13,  1824: 

"PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY 

"The  Lectures  in  this  Institution  will  commence  about  the  middle  of  the  ensuing  month 
(November),  at  the  Hall  occupied  by  the  College,  in  Seventh  Street  below  Market. 

"The  Course  on  Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy  will  be  delivered  by  Samuel  Jackson, 
M.D.  It  will  embrace  a  concise  History  of  the  Articles  used  in,  or  connected  with  Medicine; 
and  an  exposition  of  their  sensible  and  medical  qualities ;  their  various  official  preparations, 
and  the  modes  of  detecting  spurious,  or  sophisticated  varieties. 

"The  course  on  Chemistry,  will  be  delivered  by  George  B.  Wood,  M.D.,  and  will,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  application  of  this  science,  to  Pharmacy,  comprehend  a  complete  series  of  popular 
Lectures  on  Chemistry,  illustrated  by  numerous  Experiments,  with  an  extensive  Apparatus. 

"There  is  belonging  to  the  College,  a  large  collection  of  superior  Specimens  of  the  various 
articles  comprised  in  the  Materia  Medica,  which  will  be  exhibited  by  the  Professors  to  their 
classes,  and  are  well  calculated  to  add  to  the  interest  and  instruction  of  the  Lectures. 

"Tickets  of  Admission  to  be  had  of  William  Heyl,  Treasurer,  No.  215  Market  Street,  or 
Daniel  B.  Smith,  Secretary  to  the  College,  corner  of  Arch  and  Sixth  Streets,  Price  $5.00  each 
course,  and  a  matriculating  fee  of  $2.00  to  be  paid  by  all  except  apprentices  to  members  of 
the  College. 

"By  order  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

"HENRY  TROTH,  Chairman, 
"WILLIAM  BAKER,  Secretary." 

The  apparent  discord  or  opposition  between  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  and  the 
Founders  of  the  College  has  occasionally  been  magnified  and  distorted  by  those  unfamiliar 
with  the  facts  as  indicating  a  long  continued  and  bitter  enmity  between  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  and  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 

Nothing  could  be  further  from  the  truth.  It  is  a  matter  of  record  that  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania,  in  partial  pursuance  of  its  original  plan  did  confer  the  degree  of  Master 
of  Pharmacy  as  an  honorary  degree  upon  sixteen  Philadelphia  Apothecaries  in  April,  1821. 
It  is  illuminating  to  note  that  of  these  sixteen  who  were  so  honored,  seven  were  charter 
members  of  the  newly  formed  College. 

It  is  also  of  interest  to  learn  that  very  soon  after  the  active  functioning  of  the  College 
began,  when  the  members  showed  the  breadth  of  their  aims  by  conferring  honorary  member- 
ship upon  such  international  authorities  as  Paris,  Chapman,  Silliman,  Vauquelin,  Derosne, 
Robiquet,  Virey,  Pelletier,  Farraday,  Torrey,  Nuttall,  Brandes,  Dobereiner  and  Trommsdorff, 
that  there  was  also  included  the  name  of  Dr.  John  Redman  Coxe,  who  is  credited  in  the 
memoirs  of  Edward  Parrish  as  having  been  the  leading  spirit  in  the  original  movement  by  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania. 

Of  interest  in  this  same  connection,  too,  are  the  tributes  of  some  of  the  University's  own 
teachers. 

In  the  "Early  History  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,"  written  by  Dr.  George  B. 
Wood,  in  1834,  he  states : 

"The  degree  of  Master  of  Pharmacy  was  instituted  a  few  years  since  with  the  very 
laudable  view  of  improving  the  profession  of  the  apothecary,  which,  in  the  city,  has  assumed 
an  importance  far  beyond  what  it  possesses  in  other  parts  of  the  United  States.  Any  person 
is  entitled  to  the  degree  who  shall  have  served  an  apprenticeship  of  at  least  three  years  with 


294       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

a  respectable  apothecary,  and  attended  two  courses  of  lectures  on  Chemistry  and  Materia 
Medica  in  the  University.  Advantages  would  no  doubt  have  accrued  from  this  accession  to 
the  original  plan  of  the  medical  department  had  it  not  been  superseded  by  the  establishment 
by  the  apothecaries  themselves  of  a  distinct  school,  which  being  under  their  own  manage- 
ment, and  directed  to  the  one  object  of  advancing  the  usefulness  and  respectability  of  the 
profession,  is  naturally  more  popular,  and  at  least  equally  efficient." 

Later,  Dr.  Joseph  Carson,  in  his  "History  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,"  published 
in  1859,  says : 

"This  procedure  on  the  part  of  the  University,  in  the  matter  of  improving  and  elevating 
the  practice  of  pharmacy,  aroused  the  enterprising  spirit  of  the  druggists  and  apothecaries 
of  Philadelphia,  and  incited  them  to  found  the  College  of  Pharmacy,  an  independent  institu- 
tion, which,  through  the  instrumentality  of  its  school,  and  of  its  journal,  and  by  its  vigilance 
with  reference  to  the  conduct  of  its  members,  has  been  of  incalculable  service  to  the  profes- 
sion of  pharmacy,  not  only  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  but  throughout  the  United  States." 

And  now  in  our  own  time  comes  this  congratulatory  tribute  from  the  one  who  has  guided 
the  destinies  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  for  the  preceding  decade  and  who  has  been 
associated  with  its  work  for  more  than  thirty  years : 

"The  100th  birthday  of  the  College  of  Pharmacy  is  now  here.  My  congratulations  are 
herewith  extended  to  the  College  and  its  many  children.  It  is  pleasant  to  recall  that  from  its 
beginning  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  and  the  College  have  sustained  the  most  cordial 
relations.  Sons  of  the  University  and  many  of  its  professors  worked  in  the  ranks  of  the 
College. 

"I  think  it  is  conceded  that  this  harmonious  co-operation  has  redounded  to  the  good  of 
each  institution.  The  eminent  Botanists  and  Chemists  of  the  two  foundations  have  mutually 
sustained  and  encouraged  one  another  in  their  several  efforts  to  advance  the  interests  of  their 
respective  sciences. 

''For  myself,  I  can  only  say  that  the  career  of  the  College  of  Pharmacy  during  my  inti- 
mate knowledge  of  it  has  been  most  inspiring.  It  has  stood  for  the  best  in  every  direction. 
The  glories  of  its  past  I  shall  not  dwell  upon.  Others  will  do  that.  Its  advancement  is  surely 
a  joy  to  its  many  friends  in  this  city  and  to  the  active  promoters  of  science  everywhere. 
I'm  certain  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  joins  me  in  its  well  wishes  for  a  still  more 
glorious  future. 

"Rejoicingly  and  faithfully  yours, 

"EDGAR  F.  SMITH." 

And  now,  as  the  time  comes  for  me  to  close,  with  the  inspiration  which  comes  from  such 
surroundings  and  such  glorious  traditions  and  records  I  can  think  of  no  more  appropriate 
lines  than  those  of  Kipling  in  his  "Fathers  of  Old,"  for  he  has  crystallized  for  all  time  the 
thought  that  is  uppermost  in  our  minds  and  hearts — reverence  for  the  past  and  inspiration 
for  the  future. 

OUR  FATHERS  OF  OLD 

Excellent  herbs  had  our  fathers  of  old — 

Excellent  herbs  to  ease  their  pain — 
Alexanders  and  Marigold, 

Eyebright,  Orris  and  Elecampane, 
Basil,  Rocket,  Valerian,  Rue, 

(Almost  singing  themselves  they  run) 
Vervain,  Dittany,  Call-me-to-you — 

Cowslip,  Melilot,  Rose  of  the  Sun. 
Anything  green  that  grew  out  of  the  mould 
Was  an  excellent  herb  to  our  fathers  of  old. 

Wonderful  tales  had  our  fathers  of  old 

Wonderful  tales  of  the  herbs  and  the  stars — 
The  Sun  was  Lord  of  the  Marigold, 

Basil  and  Rocket  belonged  to  Mars. 
Pat  as  a  sum  in  division  it  goes — 

(Every  plant  had  a  star  bespoke)  — 
Who  but  Venus  should  govern  the  Rose? 

Who  but  Jupiter  own  the  Oak? 
Simply  and  gravely  the  facts  are  told 
In  the  wonderful  books  of  our  fathers  of  old. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       295 

Wonderful  little,  when  all  is  said, 

Wonderful  little  our  fathers  knew. 
Half  their  remedies  cured  you  dead — 

Most  of  their  teaching  was  quite  untrue. 
"Look  at  the  stars  when  a  patient  is  ill, 

(Dirt  has  nothing  to  do  with  disease), 
Bleed  and  blister  as  much  as  you  will, 

Blister  and  bleed  him  as  oft  as  you  please." 
Whence  enormous  and  manifold 
Errors  were  made  by  our  fathers  of  old. 

Yet  when  the  sickness  was  sore  in  the  land, 

And  neither  planets  nor  herbs  assuaged, 
They  took  their  lives  in  their  lancet-hand 

And,  oh,  what  a  wonderful  war  they  waged ! 
Yes,  when  the  crosses  were  chalked  on  the  door — 

Yes,  when  the  terrible  dead-cart  rolled, 
Excellent  courage  our  fathers  bore — 

Excellent  heart  had  our  fathers  of  old, 
None  too  learned,  but  nobly  bold 
Into  the  fight  went  our  fathers  of  old. 

If  it  be  certain,  as  Galen  says, 

And  sage  Hipprocrates  holds  as  much — 
"That  those  afflicted  by  doubts  and  dismays 

Are  mightily  helped  by  a  dead  man's  touch," 
Then,  be  good  to  us,  stars  above ! 

Then,  be  good  to  us,  herbs  below ! 
We  are  afflicted  by  what  we  can  prove, 

We  are  distracted  by  what  we  know. 

So — ah,  so ! 

Down  from  your  heaven  or  up  from  your  mould, 
Send  us  the  hearts  of  our  fathers  of  old!

AMERICA,  100  YEARS  AGO 

Eighteen  twenty-one,  the  year  that  James  Monroe  began  his  second  presidential  term, 
the  Era  of  Good  Feeling,  after  an  election  in  which  he  secured  all  of  the  electoral  votes 
save  one;  the  term  that  brought  into  being  the  Monroe  Doctrine  (1823). 


296       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  rharmacy 

Eighteen  twenty-one,  when  John  Quincy  Adams  was  Secretary  of  State,  the  very  year 
he  issued  his  Report  on  Weights  and  Measures,  in  some  respects  the  most  remarkable  dis- 
sertation on  metrology  ever  written. 

Eighteen  twenty-one,  when  John  Marshall  was  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  and 
was  clarifying  the  Constitution  by  his  illuminating  decisions. 

Eighteen  twenty-one,  when  John  Adams  and  Thomas  Jefferson  were  living  in  distin- 
guished retirement  awaiting  the  Final  Summons,  which,  when  it  came  to  both  of  them  upon 
the  Semi-Centennial  of  the  signing  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence  (July  4,  1826),  cre- 
ated the  most  interesting  coincidence  in  American  history. 


HENRY  V.  ARNY 

Eighteen  twenty-one,  when  Philadelphia  was  the  largest  city  in  the  United  States,  a 
thriving  place  of  over  137,000  inhabitants ;  when  New  York  ranked  second,  with  over  123,000 
inhabitants;  when  New  Orleans,  the  delightful  city  depicted  in  Cable's  Grandissimes,  had 
over  40,000  inhabitants ;  when  Cincinnati  was  a  recently  incorporated  city  of  10,000  inhabit- 
ants;  when  Cleveland  was  a  frontier  post  of  500  souls;  when  Chicago  was  merely  a  few 
shacks  around  Fort  Dearborn ;  when  San  Francisco  was  "a  vast  solitude"  as  found  by  Dana 
in  183S,  with  its  Presidio  six  miles  from  the  landing  place  of  occasional  ships  and  with  its 
nearest  mission  four  miles  away. 

Eighteen  twenty-one,  when  it  took  two  days  and  a  good  part  of  one  night,  by  stage  and 
boat  and  a  night  of  rest  en  route,  to  travel  from  New  York  to  Washington ;  and  when  the 
"Fast  Post  Coach"  from  New  York  to  Philadelphia  meant  taking  a  steam  ferry  at  the  former 
city  at  6  A.  M.,  riding  over  to  Elizabethtown,  and  from  thence  across  New  Jersey  and  down 
the  Delaware  to  Philadelphia,  which  was  reached  at  4  P.  M.;  when  steamboat  traffic  was 
only  fourteen  years  old;  when  the  Erie  Canal  (a  marvel  in  those  days)  was  being  con- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       297 

structed ;  when  the  only  railroad  in  America  was  a  short  gravel-carrying  concern  near  Bos- 
ton :  when  the  first  passenger  railroad  in  America  (Baltimore  &  Ohio,  1829)  was  merely 
dreamed  of ;  when  illuminating  gas  was  merely  an  experiment  in  private  establishments, 
such  as  the  Gas  Light  Tavern,  Second  and  Walnut,  Philadelphia,  some  years  before  the 
New  York  Gas  Company  (1823)  and  the  Philadelphia  Corporation  (1836)  obtained  their 
franchises. 

Eighteen  twenty-one,  when  Washington  Irving,  aged  38  years,  was  sojourning  abroad 
after  the  successful  publication  of  "The  Sketch  Book";  when  George  Bancroft,  just  back 
from  the  famous  Georgia  Augusta  University  in  Gcittingen  (the  first  American  to  win  a 
Ph.D.  degree  from  that  institution),  had  started  in  as  tutor  in  Greek  at  Harvard;  when 
Cooper  had  just  published  his  first  novels,  the  now  forgotten  "Precaution"  and  the  still 
famous  "The  Spy"  ;  when  the  youngster  Poe  was  at  school  in  Baltimore ;  when  Longfellow, 
a  lad  of  14,  entered  Bowdoin  College,  after  the  publication  of  his  first  poem  (1820)  ;  when 
another  boy  of  14,  Whittier,  was  attending  district  school  in  New  England  and  had  been 
introduced  to  the  beauties  of  poetry  by  his  teacher,  Joshua  Coffin,  through  the  medium  of  a 
volume  of  Burns;  when  Emerson  had  just  graduated  from  Harvard. 

Eighteen  twenty-one,  when  Daniel  Webster  was  at  the  beginning  of  his  brilliant  career, 
the  orator  of  the  two  hundredth  anniversary  of  the  Landing  of  the  Pilgrims;  when  Henry 
Clay  had  temporarily  stepped  out  of  the  speakership  of  the  House  of  Representatives  after 
successfully  getting  through  the  Missouri  Compromise  (1820)  ;  when  John  C.  Calhoun  was 
Secretary  of  War;  when  DeWitt  Clinton  was  Governor  of  New  York  and  was  directing  the 
construction  of  the  Erie  Canal;  when  Lincoln,  Lee  and  Jefferson  Davis  were  lads  of  from 
12  to  14,  unconscious  of  their  future  role  in  the  sombre  drama  of  1861-65;  when  John  Jacob 
Astor  and  Peter  Cooper  were  amassing  those  fortunes  that  were  to  bring  into  being  the 
Cooper  Institute  and  the  Astor  Library. 

Eighteen  twenty-one,  when  Audubon  was  gathering  material  for  his  great  work,  "The 
Birds  of  North  America"  (published  in  1827)  ;  when  Nuttall,  the  Anglo-American  botanist 
and  erstwhile  Philadelphian,  published  his  book,  "Travels  in  Arkansas  in  1819" ;  when  Ben- 
jamin Silliman,  founder  of  the  American  Journal  of  Science  (1818),  was  professor  of  chem- 
istry, pharmacy,  geology  and  mineralogy  at  Yale  College. 

PHILADELPHIA  IN  1821 

As  mentioned  above,  in  1821.  Philadelphia  was  the  first  city  of  America  in  population, 
and  a  glimpse  of  the  City  of  Brotherly  Love  a  century  since  may  be  worth  while.  As  to 
topography,  it  is  interesting  to  note  that  Southwark  seemed  to  be  the  southern  edge  of  the 
city,  while  we  read  that  in  1826,  when  Edward  Needles  started  his  store  at  Twelfth  and 
Race,  he  was  called  "the  frontier  apothecary,"  since  across  the  street  was  a  large  field  enclosed 
in  a  post  and  rail  fence ;  that  in  1829,  Wm.  Biddle  opened  a  store  at  Eleventh  and  Arch 
Streets,  and  feared  he  was  making  a  mistake  in  going  so  far  into  the  suburbs;  that  in  1821, 
Earr  and  Kunzi  built  their  new  factory  at  Ninth  and  Brown,  then  the  outskirts  of  the  city, 
and  that  for  years  after  D.  B.  Smith  opened  his  store  at  Sixth  and  Arch,  the  neighbors  took 
chairs  out  into  the  street  and  sat  under  the  shade  of  the  trees,  all  of  the  morning,  without 
being  disturbed  by  a  passing  vehicle.  In  appearance  it  evidently  still  resembled  the  quaint 
town  of  1795,  so  charmingly  described  by  S.  Weir  Mitchell  in  his  "Red  City" — "the  single 
spire  of  Christ  Church  rising  high  over  the  red  brick  city  .  .  .  the  town  stretching  north  and 
south  along  the  Delaware,  and  beyond  it  the  woodland  .  .  .  Westward  on  Chestnut  Street, 
pastures,  cows,  country,  and  to  the  north  a  fine  forest  known  as  the  Governor's  Wood.  ...  A 
mile  further  ...  a  river  flowing  slowly  by."  A  town  where  chains  were  still  put  across  the 
streets  in  front  of  the  four  score  of  churches  during  service  time,  to  prevent  traffic  from 
interfering  with  worship. 

Considering  that  a  city  is  what  its  inhabitants  make  it,  a  mention  of  some  of  its  lead- 
ers may  be  in  order.  There  were  the  four  Biddies,  Nicholas,  the  financier ;  Clement  C.,  the 
lawyer ;  James,  the  naval  officer ;  and  Richard,  the  writer.  Nicholas,  then  a  man  of  35  years, 
within  two  years  of  his  selection  as  president  of  the  United  States  Bank,  which  made  him 
America's  foremost  financier,  until  the  unfortunate  quarrel  between  President  Jackson  and 


298       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

the  bank  officials  in  1836.  Then  there  were  Stephen  Girard,  the  business  man  of  Philadel- 
phia and  New  Orleans,  who  in  1821,  was  61  years  old,  and  William  Bartram,  the  famous 
son  of  the  famous  John,  still  living  at  the  advanced  age  of  81.  Dr.  Caspar  Wister,  the 
founder  of  the  famous  Wister  Parties,  had  been  dead  three  years;  Benjamin  West,  the  first 
American  artist,  had  died  in  London  the  year  before  (1820)  ;  while  Edwin  Forrest,  a  boy  of 
14,  had  already  made  (1820)  his  theatrical  debut  as  Douglas  in  a  popular  play  of  that  time. 
Scientific  Philadelphia  was  as  much  in  the  fore  then  as  it  had  been  in  the  days  of  Frank- 
lin, Rittenhouse  and  Bartram,  and  as  it  is  today.  The  University  of  Pennsylvania  was  then 
in  its  first  flower,  and  among  its  faculty  of  1821  we  note  Dr.  Robert  Hare  elected  professor 
of  chemistry  in  1818,  the  great  experimenter,  the  inventor  of  the  oxy-hydrogen  blow  pipe, 
the  great  thinker,  who,  in  the  light  of  a  disparaging  remark  made  in  a  certain  one  of  his 
obituary  notices,  may  have  been  a  century  ahead  of  his  time  as  far  as  psychic  phenomena 
are  concerned;  Dr.  John  Redmond  Coxe,  professor  of  materia  medica  (1818-1835),  known 
to  all  of  us  as  the  author  of  Coxe's  American  Dispensatory  and  curiously  embalmed  in  the 
literature  of  pharmacy  as  the  deviser  of  Coxe's  hive  syrup;  Dr.  George  B.  Wood,  lecturer 
on  medical  chemistry,  destined  to  become  the  second  professor  of  chemistry  at  the  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy  (1822-1831),  and  one  of  the  founders  of  "the  druggists'  Bible," 
the  United  States  Dispensatory;  and  Dr.  Samuel  Jackson,  professor  of  the  institutes  of  medi- 
cine (in  1835),  first  professor  of  materia  medica  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
(1821-1827),  author  of  "Principles  of  Medicine"  (1838),  deviser  of  Jackson's  pectoral  syrup, 
eminent  physician,  whose  intimacy  with  the  French  pharmacist,  Durand,  caused  many  heart 
burnings  among  the  other  druggists  of  the  period.  Among  the  other  scientists  of  Philadel- 
phia in  1821  were  Dr.  Franklin  Bache,  who  in  1819,  at  the  age  of  27,  published  his  "System 
of  Chemistry,"  who  was  chosen  as  professor  of  chemistry  at  Franklin  Institute  upon  its 
organization  (1824),  who  was  professor  of  chemistry  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy from  1831  to  1841,  who  was  Dr.  Wood's  associate  in  founding  the  United  States  Dis- 
pensatory, and  who  was  professor  of  chemistry  at  Jefferson  Medical  College  from  1841  until 
his  death  in  1864.  Then  there  was  Dr.  Gerard  Troost,  who,  we  glean  from  the  scanty  ma- 
terial at  our  disposal,  was  manufacturing  ferrous  salts  at  Cape  Sable,  Md.,  in  1817,  who 
had  a  chemical  factory  in  Philadelphia  in  1820,  who  was  professor  of  chemistry  at  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy  during  the  first  year  of  its  existence,  and  who  a  few  years  later 
moved  to  Tennessee,  where  he  became  one  of  the  founders  of  the  University  of  Nashville. 

PHARMACEUTICAL  AMERICA  IN  1821 

Very  elusive  is  the  biographical  data  concerning  the  druggists  of  a  century  ago.  The 
first  American  pharmaceutical  publication,  the  venerable  Journal  of  this  College,  which  has 
taken  a  new  lease  on  life  under  the  editorship  of  Mr.  Beringer,  did  not  appear  until  1825, 
and  the  first  volume  includes  eight  fascicles  published  between  that  date  and  1830.  Of  the 
Founders  whom  we  are  here  gathered  to  honor,  there  are  three  of  whom  no  biographical 
record  has  been  found.  As  to  the  others,  from  obituaries  and  from  other  sources,  we  glean 
the  following  information: 

HENRY  TROTH  :  "The  Founder  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,"  as  Professor 
Remington  has  called  him,  had  in  1821,  a  wholesale  drug  store  at  Seventh  and  Market.  A 
capable  and  progressive  man  he  was,  one  of  the  first  Philadelphians  to  burn  anthracite  coal 
(which  cost  $8.40  a  ton  in  1818),  in  his  open  grate;  one  of  the  members  of  the  Common 
Council,  from  1827  to  1836,  making  a  vigorous  fight  for  the  granting  of  a  gas  franchise  from 
1833  to  1836. 

PETER  K.  LEHMAN,  whose  conversation  with  Mr.  Troth  as  to  the  proposition  of  the 
granting  of  the  Master  of  Pharmacy  degree  by  the  University  led  to  the  historic  meeting  at 
Carpenters'  Hall  a  century  since,  had,  in  1821,  a  drug  store  at  Tenth  and  Market  Streets. 

CHARLES  MARSHALL,  the  first  President  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  de- 
scendant of  a  distinguished  line  of  Philadelphia  apothecaries,  in  1821,  had  a  drug  store  at 
56  Chestnut  Street,  which  he,  a  man  of  77  years,  conducted  with  the  help  of  his  remarkable 
daughter,  Elizabeth,  who  when  her  father  lost  his  first  modest  fortune  in  1804,  encouraged 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       299 

him  to  start  anew  with  the  front  room  of  their  house  converted  into  a  little  shop,  which  by 
1821  had  grown  into  a  highly  prosperous  establishment. 

WILLIAM  LEHMAN,  elected  first  vice  president  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
organization  meeting,  had  a  drug  store  on  Second  Street,  between  Arch  and  Race.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Legislature  from  1814  until  his  death  in  1829,  when  he  willed  $10,000,  a  con- 
siderable sum  in  those  days,  to  the  Philadelphia  Athenseum,  inaugurating  a  custom,  followed 
by  too  many  wealthy  pharmacists  since  that  time,  of  bestowing  their  largess  upon  worthy 
objects  outside  of  the  institutions  of  their  own  calling. 

STEPHEN  NORTH  was  chairman  of  the  Carpenters'  Hall  meeting  and  was  elected  second 
vice  president  at  the  organization  meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  All 
that  has  come  to  light  concerning  him  is  that  he  was  a  wholesale  druggist  and  that  he  died 
in  1826. 

PETER  WILLIAMSON,  the  secretary  of  the  Carpenters'  Hall  meeting,  in  1821,  was  a  part- 
ner in  the  drug  store  of  Klapp  and  Williamson,  Second  and  Almond  Streets.  In  1874  he 
founded  the  Peter  Williamson  scholarship,  which  has  been  of  great  service  to  many  young 
men  since.  He  died  in  1886  at  the  advanced  age  of  91  years. 

DANIEL  B.  SMITH,  the  first  secretary  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  in  1821, 
was  a  partner  in  the  firm  of  Smith  and  Hodgson,  Sixth  and  Arch,  a  store  that  eventually 
developed  into  the  business  of  Bullock  and  Crenshaw.  Mr.  Smith  is  one  of  the  numerous 
illustrations  of  the  scholar  in  pharmacy  that  gives  the  lie  to  the  flippant  opinion  handed  down 
in  1912  from  the  Federal  Bench  in  New  York,  in  which  occurred  the  phrase  "druggists  all 
over  the  country :  men  of  no  great  learning."  Besides  his  activity  in  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy,  he  became,  in  1834,  professor  of  moral  philosophy,  English  literature  and 
chemistry  at  Haverford  College. 

FREDERICK  BROWN,  one  of  the  Founders,  in  1821,  was  a  drug  clerk,  employed  by  Charles 
Marshall.  In  1822,  he  started  his  own  successful  business,  which  he  continued  until  his  death 
in  1864. 

Among  the  other  Philadelphia  druggists  of  1821  and  shortly  thereafter  we  note  the  fol- 
lowing : 

BENJAMIN  ELLIS,  originally  a  druggist  at  Muncy,  Pa.,  in  1821,  was  studying  medicine 
at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  In  1827  he  became  professor  of  materia  medica  at  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 

FRANKLIN  SMITH,  in  1821,  or  shortly  thereafter,  had  a  drug  store  at  Eighth  and  Walnut. 
He  was  the  preceptor  of  Henry  C.  Blair,  who  in  1829,  bought  the  Smith  drug  store  and  thus 
established  the  historic  Blair  pharmacies. 

GEORGE  GLENTWORTH,  in  1821,  conducted,  at  Sassafras  (now  Race)  and  Chester  Streets, 
the  pharmacy,  the  fixtures  of  which  are  now  exhibited  in  the  College  Museum. 

ELIAS  DURAND,  in  1821,  was  a  clerk  in  Ducatel's  famous  French  pharmacy  in  Baltimore. 
In  1825,  he  opened  his  pharmacy  at  Sixth  and  Chestnut,  Philadelphia,  which  for  many  years 
was  the  most  renowned  drug  store  in  the  city.  He  was  vice-president  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  in  1844  and  contributed  numerous  papers  to  the  Journal. 

As  to  pharmacy  in  Boston  in  1821,  a  delightful  series  of  thirteen  papers,  by  W.  A.  Brewer 
that  appeared  in  the  Pharmaceutical  Record  in  1884,  gives  the  most  vivid  picture  of  the  time 
that  has  as  yet  been  found.  The  series  tempts  one  to  make  numerous  quotations,  but  at  this 
time  it  can  only  be  stated  that  Mr.  Brewer  began  his  pharmaceutical  apprenticeship  in  June, 
1821,  in  the  wholesale  drug  store  of  Bartlett  and  Brewer  on  Washington  (then  Cornwall) 
Street,  Boston.  He  states  that  at  that  time  the  wholesale  firm  of  Rice,  Henshaw  and  Com- 
pany was  the  largest  drug  distributors  in  the  United  States ;  that  David  Henshaw  later  be- 
came Secretary  of  the  Navy;  that  in  1821,  there  were  in  Boston  seven  wholesale  and  twenty- 
three  retail  drug  stores,  among  these  being  those  of  George  Brinley,  Robert  Fennelly,  Charles 
Xolan,  John  I.  Brown  (of  bronchial  troches  fame),  Maynard  and  Noyes,  Love  and  Reed; 
Dr.  Ballard,  Cyrus  Holbrook,  Charles  White,  Ephraim  Elliot  and  Thomas  Greenleaf. 


300       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

As  to  the  New  York  druggists  in  1821,  those  whom  we  still  recall  are  Schiefrelin  and 
Company,  then  a  firm  of  twenty-seven  years  standing;  John  Milhau,  who  in  1823,  retired, 
spent  several  years  abroad  and  then  returned  to  open  the  famous  Milhau  Pharmacy  on 
Broadway;  and  Benjamin  Quackinbush,  Greenwich  and  West  Tenth,  whose  store  is  still 
run  by  his  descendants.  From  the  city  directory  of  1821  and  from  other  sources  we  learn 
that  among  the  other  New  York  apothecaries  of  that  time  were  Peter  B.  Brown,  Grand 
and  Cannon  Streets;  Hull  and  Bowne,  146  Pearl  Street;  J.  H.  and  W.  B.  Post,  41  William 
Street ;  James  Seaman  and  Company,  49  Fulton  Street ;  and  Isaac  See,  325  Greenwich  Street. 

For  information  as  to  the  druggists  of  Cincinnati  of  1821  we  are  indebted  to  an  inter- 
esting historical  sketch  by  Joseph  Feil,  in  which  are  given  from  the  newspapers  of  1818  and 
1819  advertisements  of  T.  W.  Dyott,  wholesale  drug  and  medicine  warehouse;  Caleb  Bates, 
Lower  Market  Street;  and  Hallam  and  Clark.  Of  the  other  American  cities  the  informa- 
tion is  only  fragmentary.  Thus  we  learn  from  obituaries  and  from  patent  medicine  adver- 
tisements that  Ducatel's  pharmacy  was  one  of  the  leading  drug  stores  of  Baltimore;  that 
William  Gunton  was  established  in  Washington  ;  that  E.  and  R.  H.  Stabler  conducted  the 
drug  store  in  Alexandria,  from  which  sprang  R.  H.  Stabler,  the  eighteenth  president  of  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  ;  that  W  illiam  McKean  was  established  in  New  Or- 
leans. 

As  to  the  actual  drug  business  of  1821,  we  have  a  mirror  of  its  materia  medica  in  the 
United  States  Pharmacopoeia  of  1820.  The  druggist  made  almost  all  of  the  medicines  that 
he  dispensed.  Thus  the  U.  S.  P.,  1820,  provided  recipes  for  such  chemicals  as  prussic  acid, 
sulphuric  ether,  silver  nitrate,  bismuth  subnitrate,  calomel,  corrosive  sublimate  and  zinc  oxide 
(flowers  of  zinc),  and  record  shows  that  independent  chemical  works  were  just  in  the 
process  of  organization  (c.  g.  Farr  and  Kunzi,  1818;  Rosengarten  and  Zeitler,  1822).  All 
Pharmaceuticals  were  prepared  by  the  apothecary  except  some  special  ones,  mainly  of  French 
origin,  as  at  that  time  the  French  were  the  premier  pharmacists  of  the  world.  Testimony 
to  this  effect  is  given  by  D.  B.  Smith  concerning  Charles  Marshall,  while  it  can  be  added 
that  the  tremendous  vogue  of  Elias  Durand  was  due  to  the  fact  that  he  was  a  French-trained 
pharmacist  and  could  prepare  Pharmaceuticals  of  an  elegance  almost  equalling  that  of  the 
French  preparations.  In  a  curiously  fragmentary  contribution  from  S.  F.  Troth,  he  brings 
out  that  the  first  really  nice  Epsom  Salt  was  brought  from  England  to  Philadelphia  in  1821  ; 
that  the  first  sodium  bicarbonate  purchased  by  Henry  Troth,  in  1821,  cost  $1.25  a  pound; 
that  tartaric  acid  was  a  novelty  in  1821,  and  cost  $1.25  a  pound;  and  that  about  that  time 
druggists  had  their  English  magnesium  carbonate  calcined  to  the  oxide  in  the  furnaces  at 
Abram  Miller's  pottery  on  Zane  Street.  From  an  advertisement  of  a  Cincinnati  druggist  we 
learn  that  in  1819,  beeswax  cost  20  cents  a  pound ;  cassia,  70  cents ;  ginger,  30  cents ;  and  sugar, 
28  cents.  Another  Cincinnati  advertisement  of  1819  announces  the  receipt  from  Philadelphia 
of  a  consignment  of  Milnor's  Acid  Lemon  for  making  lemonade,  and  of  Farr's  Soda  Powder 
for  making  soda  water.  In  passing  it  might  be  stated  that  the  first  American  quinine  was 
made  in  1823  by  Farr  and  Kunzi,  the  firm  that  eventually  developed  into  Powers  and  Weight- 
man. 

PHARMACEUTICAL  THOUGHT  IN  1821 

To  discuss  the  general  trend  of  science  in  1821  would  exceed  the  limits  of  this  paper, 
so  there  is  no  need  of  going  further  in  this  direction  than  to  cite  what  Edward  Parrish  said 
fifty  years  ago  today,  in  effect,  that  in  1821  the  labors  of  Davy,  Ampere,  Dalton,  Berzelius, 
Faraday,  Oerstedt  and  Arago  had  reached  their  culmination,  thus  laying  the  foundations  of 
modern  chemistry. 

William  Procter  pointed  out  the  difficulty  in  making  a  history  of  pharmacy  of  the  1821 
period,  since  the  only  pharmaceutical  journals  then  reaching  this  country  were  French.  It 
has  been  the  privilege  of  the  writer  of  this  paper  to  scan  the  Journal  dc  Pharmacie  for  1821, 
and  also  two  German  year  books  of  pharmacy  of  the  same  period,  Kastner's  Berlinische  Jahr- 
buch  and  the  Scheidckunstlcr  und  Afothcker  Almanack.  From  these  sources  considerable 
interesting  information  has  been  obtained;  among  it  the  fact  that  in  France,  the  available 
journals  of  science,  besides  the  Journal  dc  Pharmacie,  numbered  seventy.  Of  these  only  one 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       301 

was  pharmaceutical  (Trommsdorff's  Journal  dcr  Chcmic  and  Pharmazie)  and  only  one  came 
from  America  (Journal  of  the  Philadelphia  Academy  of  Sciences).  In  the  two  German 
Year  Books  are  lists  of  books  and  periodicals  received  by  the  editors  during  the  year.  Among 
the  periodicals  we  note  Trommsdorff's  Journal  dcr  Pharmizie  and  Buchner's  Repertorium. 
As  to  books,  over  eighty  titles  are  given. 

Turning  to  the  problems  under  discussion  it  is  plain  to  see  that  1820-1821  were  alkaloidal 
years.  Sertiirner's  discovery  of  morphine,  the  first  isolated  plant  base  (1816),  had  stimulated 
research  in  that  direction  and  as  a  result  we  find  in  the  periodicals  of  a  century  ago,  first 
of  all,  the  classic  paper  of  Pelletier  and  Caventou  on  quinine,  a  dissertation  covering  forty- 
eight  printed  pages ;  a  paper  from  the  same  authors  on  veratrine,  and  one  from  them  on 
strychnine;  Meissner's  article  on  sabadilline ;  Brandes  on  daturine,  on  delphine  and  delphinine 
and  on  atropine;  Pelletier  on  veratrine;  Oerstedt  (son  of  a  Danish  apothecary,  the  great 
electrician  and  chemist),  on  piperine ;  Desfosses  on  solanine ;  Thomsen  on  the  combustion 
assay  of  morphine,  and  Brandt  and  Meissner  on  atropine.  As  novelties  in  the  way  of  ele- 
ments we  note  cadmium,  thorium,  lithium  and  selenium.  As  new  drugs,  are  described  Asaruin 
Canadensis  (used  then  in  the  United  States  for  tetanus),  guarana,  arrow-root,  scutellaria 
(used  then  in  the  United  States  for  hydrophobia),  lactucarium,  Borneo  camphor,  chiretta  and 
pareira  brava.  Then  there  are  given,  among  other  analyses,  that  of  krameria  by  Gmelin ; 
of  ambergris  by  Pelletier  and  Caventou;  of  Tonquin  musk  by  Blondeau  and  Guibourt;  of 
cubeb  by  Pelletier;  of  Fucus  vesiculosus  by  Coindet  (pointing  out  that  its  medical  action  in 
goiter  is  due  to  its  iodine  content)  ;  of  serpentaria  by  Chevallier ;  of  saffron  by  Henry  (noting 
presence  of  polychroit)  ;  of  santonica  by  Boullon-LaGrange  (describing  its  volatile  oil)  ;  of 
cochineal  by  Pelletier  and  Caventou  (giving  method  of  preparing  carmine)  ;  of  yellow  wax 
by  Buchholz  and  Brandes;  of  colocynth  and  star  anise  by  Meissner;  of  myrrh  by  Brandes; 
and  of  saffron  by  Aschoff.  An  unexpected  paper  is  one  on  the  "Atech-Gab"  of  Baku,  in 
which  the  words  "petrol"  and  "naphthe"  are  used,  and  in  which  it  is  stated  that  the  "petrol'' 
is  iKod  by  the  poorer  classes  of  Persians  as  a  lamp  oil.  Some  forty  years  later  (1859)  Penn- 
sylvania petroleum  became  the  great  commodity  which  has  made  it  world-famous  ever  since. 

Of  papers  published  by  Americans  we  find  four;  one  by  Spalding  (the  scutellaria  article 
cited  above),  one  by  Hare  on  a  theory  of  galvanism,  one  by  Rafinesque  on  atmospheric  dust, 
and  one  by  John  Gorham,  professor  of  chemistry  at  Harvard,  on  the  constituents  of  maize. 

There  are  some  unusual  items,  including  a  complaint  concerning  a  blind  prescription  writ- 
ten by  a  Parisian  oculist  which  could  be  compounded  at  only  one  pharmacy.  The  prescription 
called  for  6  grains  of  "purified  salt  of  cadmium"  in  6  ounces  of  orange  flower  water.  Be- 
cause of  the  extreme  rarity  of  the  cadmium  compound,  the  pharmacist  charged  4  francs  50 
and  then,  alas,  dispensed  6  grains  of  zinc  sulphate.  So  some  of  our  pharmaceutical  predeces- 
sors were  not  so  guileless,  after  all.  Another  writer  rails  against  factory-made  pharma- 
ceutical*, pointing  out  that  one  firm  sold  Baume  Tranquille  (infused  oil  of  hyocyamus)  for 
1  franc  20  a  pound,  whereas  the  oil  of  which  it  was  made,  when  of  proper  quality  cost  1  franc 
60.  It  is  also  interesting  to  note  that  while  the  metric  system  was  supposedly  adopted  in 
France  in  1793,  thirty  years  later  (1821),  practically  all  matters  concerning  weight  were 
expressed  in  pounds,  ounces  and  grains.  This  should  show  us  metric  advocates  that  it  takes 
a  long  time  to  teach  a  people  new  ways ;  it  should  also  show  us  that  patient  and  persistent 
effort  finally  brings  a  people  to  the  new  and  better  way. 

There  are  two  interesting  papers  which  discuss  the  pharmacists  of  the  past.  One  calls 
attention  to  the  fact  that  the  fern  genus  Darea  is  named  after  the  English  pharmacist  Dare ; 
in  the  other  mention  is  made  of  Apothecary  Rouvier  as  author  of  a  book  of  voyages;  of 
Apothecary  DeMach,  as  a  poet ;  of  Apothecary  Guairet  as  a  Latin  versifier,  and  of  Apothe- 
cary Baume  as  the  author  of  a  grammar.  All  of  these  worthies  (all  forgotten  except  Baume) 
are  discussed  in  a  review  of  a  book  on  metaphysics  published  in  1821  by  Apothecary  Opoix. 
Here  is  a  good  lead  for  the  pharmaceutical  historian. 

In  another  paper  we  find  a  complaint  that  works  on  pharmacy  are  being  written  in  the 
vernacular  rather  than  in  Latin,  a  really  valid  reason  for  the  objection  being  that  when  writ- 
ten in  the  vernacular  any  charlatan  can  read  the  various  recipes  and  thus  become  druggists, 
whereas  when  in  Latin,  only  the  truly  educated  can  become  apothecaries. 


302       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

As  to  books,  the  first  national  pharmacopoeia,  the  French  Codex,  had  appeared  in  1818, 
followed  toward  the  end  of  1820  by  the  first  United  States  Pharmacopoeia.  The  great  book 
on  pharmacy  of  the  day  was  by  the  French  pharmacist,  Virey,  who  interestingly  enough  had 
been  accused  by  the  Government  of  appropriating  too  freely  material  found  in  the  Codex. 
At  his  trial,  however,  he  was  acquitted  of  the  charge.  The  great  book  for  American  drug- 
gists was  Thatcher's  American  Dispensatory ;  our  present  classic,  the  United  States  Dispensa- 
tory, not  appearing  until  1833.  The  most  important  book  on  general  chemistry  was  Thom- 
son's "System  of  Chemistry,"  an  English  work  in  four  volumes,  that  was  first  published  in 
America  in  1818.  Another  classic  was  Ure's  "Dictionary  of  Chemistry,"  the  first  American 
edition  of  which  (edited  by  Robert  Hare  and  Franklin  Bache)  appeared  in  1821. 

"The  Medical  Botany  of  William  P.  C.  Barton,"  a  handsome  volume  with  beautiful  col- 
ored illustrations  of  medicinal  plants  drawn  by  the  author,  appeared  first  in  1818,  with  a  sec- 
ond edition  dated  1825.  It  is  interesting  to  note  the  1818  edition  was  published  by  M.  Carey 
and  Son,  while  the  1825  issue  was  distributed  by  Carey  and  Lea,  the  predecessors  of  the 
present  firm  of  Lea  and  Febiger. 

A  remarkable  book,  published  around  1821,  is  a  neatly  bound  volume  of  161  pages,  ex- 
tolling the  virtues  of  "Swaim's  Panacea."  After  a  description  of  this  marvelous  concoction 
by  Swaim  (a  Philadelphia  bookbinder),  the  rest  of  the  volume  is  taken  up  with  testimonials 
written  up  as  "reports  of  cases"  from  physicians,  including  such  celebrities  as  Drs.  Valentine 
Mott,  Parke  (both  delegates  to  the  Pharmacopceial  Convention  of  1820),  Dewee  and  Hall, 
the  latter  a  member  of  Congress  from  North  Carolina.  There  was  evidently  no  Council 
on  Pharmacy  and  Chemistry  in  1821. 

PHARMACY  OF  1821  AND  PHARMACY  OF  1921 

A  comparison  between  the  pharmacy  of  today  and  the  pharmacy  of  a  century  since  would 
constitute  a  paper  in  itself,  so  merely  as  summary  it  may  be  here  stated  that  while  phar- 
macy of  1821  was  the  art  of  compounding  medicaments  and  the  sale  thereof;  the  retail  phar- 
macy of  1921,  the  age  of  the  machine-made  goods,  is  largely  the  art  (or  science,  if  you  will) 
of  salesmanship,  the  distribution  of  the  products  of  other  men's  hands.  Deplore  it  as  we  will, 
the  machine  has  largely  replaced  the  man  in  our  calling  as  in  many  others.  The  druggist  of 
1821  was  a  merchant  of  standing,  who  served  his  customers  with  products  made  in  his  back 
room  of  his  store,  and  in  many  cases  that  back  room  between  now  and  then  has  grown  into 
a  huge  factory.  The  pharmacist  of  1921  has  four  ways  in  which  he  may  utilize  his  training: 
(a)  he  may  be  a  clerk  in  a  corporation  drug  store;  (b)  he  may  be  a  proprietor  of  a  com- 
mercial store,  where  salesmanship  is  the  keynote,  even  as  it  is  in  the  corporation  store;  (c)  he 
may  become  a  prescription  specialist,  to  whom  physicians  turn  for  expert  advice,  even  as  the 
physicians  of  1821  turned  to  Marshall,  to  Milhau,  to  Durand  and  to  Ducatel;  (d)  he  may  be 
a  trained  pharmaceutical  chemist  or  pharamacognosist  employed  in  a  manufacturing  plant. 
This  is  not  the  time  to  discuss  these  phases  of  modern  pharmacy  beyond  the  bare  statement 
that  the  options  may  be  best  expressed  by  the  French  saying,  chacun  d  son  gout. 

CONCLUSION 

In  1821  the  Founders  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  began  this  great  institu- 
tion for  the  purpose  of  training  apprentices  to  become  honest  and  efficient  druggists.  It  was 
an  organization  of  pharmacists  for  pharmacists,  and  this  ideal  has  been  faithfully  upheld  for 
one  century.  It  is  not  improper  to  say  that  whatever  faults  may  be  found  in  the  century  of 
stewardship  have  been  due  to  the  faithful  execution  of  this  principle.  Designed  originally 
to  train  retail  pharmacists,  as  the  decades  have  rolled  by,  the  College  has  met  changing  con- 
ditions in  such  a  manner  that  it  continues  to  be  of  the  greatest  and  broadest  service  to  all 
phases  of  American  pharmacy.  Thus  when  the  time  was  ripe,  laboratory  courses  of  instruc- 
tion were  instituted,  courses  that  brought  inspiration  as  well  as  knowledge  to  those  who 
were  fortunate  enough  to  take  the  work.  Thus  when  the  old-time  apprenticeship  system  be- 
gan to  break  down,  when  the  retail  druggist  became  unmindful  of  his  duty  as  preceptor, 
when  the  commercialization  of  pharmacy  in  the  modern  sense,  was  at  its  beginning,  the  Col- 
lege was  the  first  to  start  a  commercial  course  that  even  to  this  day  reflects  credit  upon  its 
originators.  And  now  at  the  dawn  of  the  new  century  of  its  existence,  the  Philadelphia  Col- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       303 

lege  of  Pharmacy  has  become  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science.  To  its  old 
graduates  the  College  will  always  remain  the  beloved  "Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy," 
but  the  new  name  possesses  a  striking  significance.  During  the  last  half-century  the  uni- 
versity movement  in  pharmacy  has  brought  about  the  anomalous  condition  that  its  exponents 
seem  at  times  ashamed  that  they  are  pharmacists,  and  manifest  an  apparent  desire  to  make 
pharmacy  a  minor  topic  in  a  course  supposedly  designed  to  train  a  young  man  or  woman  to 
he  a  pharmacist.  It  is  on  a  par  with  certain  phases  of  medical  instruction  where  the  aim 
seems  to  be  to  teach  the  student  how  to  diagnose  a  disease  and  then  let  him  flounder  around  as 
to  a  remedy.  The  very  title,  the  "Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science,"  puts  the 
proper  emphasis  upon  the  valuation  that  should  be  placed  upon  instruction  in  this  and  other 
schools  of  pharmacy.  Pharmacy  should  be  the  foremost  consideration.  A  knowledge  of  other 
sciences  is  essential  for  the  trained  pharmacist,  but,  whether  retailer,  wholesaler,  manufac- 
turer or  teacher,  the  graduates  of  our  pharmacy  colleges  should  realize  that  they  are  first, 
last  and  at  all  times,  Pharmacists.

Pharmacy  as  an  art  antedates  modern  chemistry  by  several  centuries. 

Following  the  era  of  the  alchemists,  and  at  about  the  end  of  the  fifteenth  century,  a  differ- 
ent turn  was  given  to  the  study  of  alchemy,  and  under  the  general  influence  of  Paracelsus, 
experimentation  was  turned  to  the  study  of  new  medical  qualities  in  various  natural  sub- 
stances, and  the  projects  of  transmuting  the  baser  metals  into  gold  and  silver  were  prac- 
tically abandoned  for  the  time.  Paracelsus  and  his  immediate  followers  made  many  medical 
and  drug  discoveries.  Indeed,  it  has  well  been  said  that  "the  apothecary  shops  of  Europe 
became  research  laboratories,  from  which  many  valuable  medical  discoveries  emanated." 

This  was  the  era  of  the  iatro-chemists.  Among  these  names  we  have,  besides  Paracelsus, 
Libavius,  in  1595;  Glauber,  from  1603  to  1668,  whose  name  still  remains  a  familiar  one  to  the 
chemist  of  today,  and  others. 

\Ye  are  accustomed  to  think  of  Priestly,  who  discovered  oxygen,  in  1774,  as  one  of  the 
founders  of  modern  chemistry,  but  Priestly  contributed  far  less  to  the  advance  of  chemistry 
than  a  Swedish  apothecary  named  Scheele,  who  had  discovered  oxygen  two  years  before 
Priestly,  although  he  had  not  published  his  discovery  until  after  Priestly's  announcement. 
Scheele  also  discovered  the  important  element,  chlorine,  in  1774,  and  many  others  of  our  most 
important  and  valuable  chemical  substances,  such  as  tartaric,  oxalic,  citric,  gallic  and  lactic 
acids,  as  well  as  glycerin  and  many  other  substances.  In  fact,  the  work  of  this  Swedish 
worker,  an  apothecary  during  the  whole  of  his  career,  represents  one  of  the  most  conspicuous 
contributions  to  the  advance  of  chemistry. 

If  we  take  one  country  after  another,  and  look  at  the  records  of  discovery  of  the  latter 
part  of  the  eighteenth  century,  we  will  find  repeated  illustrations  of  the  contributions  of 
pharmacists  to  the  stock  of  chemical  knowledge. 

For  instance,  in  Germany,  Marggraf  who,  in  1747,  discovered  beet  sugar,  and  may  be 
said  to  have  been  the  founder  of  the  beet  sugar  industry  of  the  world,  was  a  Berlin  apothe- 
cary, and  made  many  other  chemical  discoveries.  Klaproth,  who  is  credited  with  the  dis- 
covery of  four  of  our  chemical  elements,  started  as  a  pharmacist.  Heinrich  Rose,  one  of  the 
great  mineral  chemists,  and  later  Professor  in  the  University  of  Berlin,  began  as  a  pharma- 
cist, and  his  father  and  grandfather  before  him  were  pharmacists.  Poggendorf,  Professor 
of  Physics  in  the  University  of  Berlin,  and  a  name  well  known  in  the  literature  of  chemistry, 
was  for  eight  years  a  practicing  pharmacist. 

Turning  to  the  French  list,  we  have  the  names  of  Vauquelin,  a  discoverer  of  several  of 
our  chemical  elements,  who  was  connected  with  the  Paris  School  of  Pharmacy,  and  Pelletier 
and  Caventou,  the  discoverers  of  quinine,  and  Labarraque  also  actively  engaged  in  pharmacy. 
The  great  Pasteur,  whose  services  to  chemistry  and  preventive  medicine  are  universally 


304       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

recognized  throughout  the  world,  was  an  apothecary  and  not  a  chemist  in  the  beginning 
of  his  career. 

Two  of  the  most  eminent  chemists  of  our  own  day,  namely,  Berthelot  and  Moissan,  were 
both  professors  in  the  Ecole  Superieure  de  Pharmacie  in  Paris. 

Similarly,  one  of  the  great  lights  of  English  chemistry,  in  the  beginning  of  the  last  cen- 
tury, Sir  Humphrey  Davy,  who  is  credited  with  the  discovery  of  some  seven  or  eight  of  our 
chemical  elements,  was  an  apothecary's  clerk  in  the  beginning  of  his  career. 

Indeed,  in  both  France  and  England,  the  recognition  of  pharmacists  as  investigators  has 
been  notably  greater  than  in  any  other  country.  The  finest  chemical  laboratory  in  London, 
namely,  that  of  the  Imperial  College  of  Science  and  Technology,  had  as  its  first  professor 
of  chemistry,  one  who  had  the  responsibility  of  constructing  the  newly  established  laboratory, 
the  late  Sir  William  Tilden,  who  began  as  an  apothecary,  and  for  many  years  was  connected 
with  the  chemical  laboratory  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great  Britain.  He  published, 
in  1916,  a  most  interesting  and  valuable  book  covering  the  whole  range  of  chemical  activity, 
the  title  of  which  is  "Chemical  Discovery  and  Invention  in  the  Twentieth  Century,"  which 
book  is  one  of  the  most  suggestive  and  readable  books  to  those  desiring  to  get  the  survey 
of  the  broad  scope  of  chemistry  and  its  applications  that  can  be  found  at  the  present  time. 

With  this  survey  of  the  history  of  the  relations  of  pharmacists  to  the  development  of 
chemistry  in  earlier  times,  as  well  as  in  recent  times  in  Europe,  we  can  now  come  to  consider 
how  far  this  relation  has  existed  in  this  country. 

Speaking  in  this  hall  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  in  connection  with 
an  anniversary  of  the  founding  of  this  institution,  it  seems  very  proper  for  us  to  consider 
what  illustration  of  our  subject  we  may  find  right  here  in  our  past  history  as  an  Institution. 

Among  the  most  cherished  memories  of  this  Institution  are  those  of  some  of  its  earliest 
workers,  and  in  that  connection  we  may  call  attention  to  the  fine  record  of  one  of  the  earlier 
professors  of  this  Institution,  namely,  William  Procter,  Jr.,  who,  though  a  busy  practicing 
apothecary  and  a  teacher,  yet  found  time  to  carry  on  many  investigations  which  advanced 
chemical  knowledge  very  notably.  The  value  of  these  was  also  recognized  in  much  wider 
circles,  and  gained  for  him  recognition  on  the  part  of  foreign  chemical  authorities.  His  dis- 
covery of  the  composition  of  wintergreen  oil,  and  of  the  characters  of  the  salicylic  acid  de- 
rived from  the  same,  were  recognized  as  furnishing  the  earliest  knowledge  on  this  subject. 

We  may  also  refer  to  the  long  series  of  contributions  to  chemical  knowledge  that  have 
appeared  in  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  published  by  this  College  for  nearly  a  cen- 
tury past. 

Coming  down  to  the  present  time,  we  still  have  very  active  workers  from  the  ranks  of 
pharmacy,  whose  present  contributions  to  chemical  science  are  cordially  recognized.  While 
it  would  be  invidious  to  attempt  to  select  names  in  this  connection,  I  will  only  mention  two, 
both  of  whom  are  well  known  to  us,  namely,  Professor  John  U.  Lloyd,  a  recognized  authority 
on  plant  chemistry,  and  more  recently  upon  colloid  chemistry  reactions,  and  Frederick  B. 
Power,  a  graduate  and  former  instructor  in  this  College,  who  is  recognized  both  in  England 
and  in  this  country  as  probably  the  first  authority  upon  the  subject  of  essential  oils.  He  is 
still  active  in  the  Government  service  at  Washington  on  this  subject. 

The  direct  influence  of  pharmacists  on  the  creation  of  chemical  industries  is,  however, 
most  readily  illustrated  by  a  study  of  the  history  of  the  development  of  manufacturing 
chemical  industries  in  this  city  of  Philadelphia,  which  has  been  known  for  many  years  as  a 
great  chemical  manufacturing  center,  and  I  will  therefore  in  some  detail  review  the  develop- 
ment of  Philadelphia's  chemical  industries. 

"Probably  the  first  to  inaugurate  the  manufacture  of  chemicals,  as  such,  in  this  country, 
was  the  firm  of  Christopher,  Jr.,  and  Charles  Marshall,  sons  and  successors  of  Christopher 
Marshall,  an  early  druggist  and  one  of  the  original  'fighting  Quakers'  of  Philadelphia.  This 
firm  had,  as  early  as  1786,  entered  quite  extensively  into  the  business  of  making  muriate  of 
ammonia  and  Glauber's  salt.  The  factory  is  described  by  Watson,  in  his  'Annals  of  Phila- 
delphia,' as  being  a  grim  and  forbidding-looking  building  on  Third  Street,  near  the  stone 
bridge  over  the  Cohocksink  Creek.  This  firm  is  said  to  have  developed  an  annual  output  of 
upwards  of  6,000  Ibs.  of  muriate  of  ammonia;  quite  an  achievement  for  that  time." 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       305 

Let  us  now  take  up  the  beginnings  of  the  manufacture  in  Philadelphia  of  one  of  the 
fundamentally  important  chemicals,  viz.,  sulphuric  acid.  This  substance  is  recognized  as  the 
basis  of  all  chemical  industries  and  its  manufacture  must  precede  that  of  most  other  chem- 
icals. The  theory  of  the  lead-chamber  process  was  already  understood  by  chemists,  by  the 
middle  of  the  eighteenth  century.  Ward  had  made  it  in  England  in  1740  on  a  large  scale  in 
glass  vessels,  and  Dr.  Roebuck  first  used  leaden  chambers  instead  of  glass  in  Birmingham 
in  1746.  The  first  leaden  chamber  was  erected  in  France,  at  Rouen,  in  1766. 

John  Harrison,  the  son  of  Thomas  Harrison,  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends, 
was  an  early  Philadelphia  druggist  who  had  completed  his  education  by  spending  two  years 
in  Europe,  in  part  under  the  instruction  of  Dr.  Joseph  Priestly,  the  famous  English  chemist. 
Upon  his  return  he  began,  in  1793,  the  manufacture  in  Philadelphia  of  various  chemicals, 
and  notably  of  sulphuric  acid.  He  had  at  first  a  lead  chamber  capable  of  producing  300 
carboys  of  acid  per  annum,  and  his  laboratory  at  this  time  was  on  the  north  side  of  Green 
Street,  west  of  Third.  In  1804,  he  established  a  new  factory  at  Second  and  Huntingdon 
Streets,  near  Frankford  Road,  Kensington,  but  continued  for  a  time  the  work  on  Green 
Street.  In  1807,  he  built  what  was  for  that  time  quite  a  large  lead  chamber ;  it  was  50  feet 
long,  18  feet  wide,  and  18  feet  high,  and  capable  of  making  nearly  500,000  Ibs.  of  sulphuric 
acid  annually,  the  price  of  which  was  then  as  high  as  15  cents  per  Ib. 

"As  is  well  known,  acid  produced  in  lead  chambers  is  not  the  Oil  of  Vitriol  of  com- 
merce, and  the  only  method  known  at  that  time  to  concentrate  it  to  the  required  strength  was 
by  boiling  it  in  glass  retorts — a  very  precarious  and  dangerous  process.  The  constant  break- 
age of  the  glass  largely  increased  the  cost  of  the  concentrated  acid  and  the  danger  of  the 
work.  To  obviate  this  great  trouble,  Mr.  Harrison,  in  1814,  introduced  the  use  of  platinum 
for  the  manufacture  of  sulphuric  acid,  for  the  first  time,  at  least  in  this  country.  In  the 
previous  year,  1813,  Dr.  Eric  Bollman,  a  Dane,  had  come  to  Philadelphia.  Dr.  Bollman  was 
familiar  with  the  metallurgy  of  platinum,  and  a  highly  scientific  man.  He  brought  with  him 
from  France  Dr.  Wollaston's  method  for  converting  the  crude  grains  of  platinum  into 
bars  and  sheets.  About  the  first  use  that  Dr.  Bollman  made  of  these  platinum  sheets  was  the 
construction  early  in  1814,  of  a  still  for  the  concentration  of  sulphuric  acid  for  the  Harrison 
works.  It  weighed  700  oz.,  had  a  capacity  of  25  gal.  and  was  in  continuous  use  for  fifteen 
years.  This  early  application  of  platinum  for  such  purposes  was  highly  characteristic  of  the 
sagacity  and  ingenuity  of  the  American  manufacturer.  At  the  time  the  use  of  this  rare  metal 
was  a  novelty  in  Europe  and  known  only  to  a  few  persons  and  certainly  entirely  unknown 
in  this  country.  It  follows,  therefore,  that  John  Harrison  was  not  only  the  earliest  successful 
manufacturer  of  sulphuric  acid  in  America,  but  the  first  in  this  country  to  concentrate  it  in 
platinum." 

Farr  and  Kunzi  were  next  in  Philadelphia  to  follow  the  lead  of  Harrison  in  making 
sulphuric  acid,  which  it  is  stated  they  did  in  1812,  and  shortly  thereafter  Wetherill  and  Bro. 
also  began  the  manufacture  of  sulphuric  acid  on  the  east  bank  of  the  Schuylkill  River.  Chas. 
Lennig,  the  founder  of  the  present  firm  of  Chas.  Lennig  and  Co.,  Inc.,  also  began  the  manu- 
facture of  sulphuric  acid  in  1829,  Rosengarten  and  Sons  shortly  thereafter,  and  Carter  and 
Scattergood  in  1834,  also  were  early  manufacturers  of  sulphuric  acid. 

Nitric  acid,  under  the  name  of  aqua  fortis,  is  mentioned  in  Scharf  and  Westcott's  "His- 
tory of  Philadelphia"  as  made  by  Christopher  Marshall,  Jr.,  a  Philadelphia  druggist,  at  the 
close  of  the  last  century.  A  communication  from  Thos.  Skelton  Harrison  says  his  grand- 
father, John  Harrison,  began  to  make  both  nitric  and  muriatic  acids  in  1804.  Carter  and 
Scattergood  had  it  on  their  list  of  manufactures  in  1834.  Muriatic  acid  is  also  mentioned 
as  made  by  this  latter  firm  in  the  year  1834,  as  were  tartaric  acid  and  citric  acid. 

MANUFACTURE  OF  PAINT  COLORS 

The  first  white  lead  factory  of  Samuel  Wetherill  and  Sons  was  built  in  1804  at  the  corner 
of  Broad  and  Chestnut  Streets,  but  it  was  burned  down  a  few  years  later,  and  in  1808,  they 
erected  a  new  factory  at  Twelfth  and  Cherry  Streets. 

"His  son,  Samuel  Wetherill,  Jr.,  was  the  active  man  of  the  concern,  and  assisted  his 
father  in  all  business  matters.  The  enforced  experience  which  was  pressed  upon  them  during 


306       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

the  revolution,  concentrated  their  attention  upon  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  chemicals, 
and  they  went  into  the  drug  business.  In  1785,  Samuel  Wetherill  and  Son  were  located  in 
Front  Street,  above  Arch.  Here,  for  many  years,  'Wetherill's  Drug  Store'  was  an  old  land- 
mark, and  the  place  at  which  sons  and  grandsons  were  brought  up  to  the  business.  The 
Wetherills  were  the  pioneers  in  the  manufacture  of  white  lead.  They  established  it  before 
the  year  1790.  They  erected  extensive  white  lead  works  near  Twelfth  and  Cherry  Streets, 
which  were  burnt  down  in  1813,  but  afterwards  rebuilt. 

"The  fire  which  destroyed  the  white  lead  works  proved  to  be  incendiary  and  started  by 
a  young  English  officer  the  day  before  he  sailed  for  England. 

"In  October,  1811,  Samuel  Wetherill,  Jr.,  obtained  patents  for  a  new  mode  of  washing 
white  lead  and  for  screening  and  separating  metallic  from  corroded  lead  in  the  process  of 
making  red  lead,  and  using  the  first  machine  ever  used  for  manufacturing  purposes  in  the 
United  States.  This  method  has  been  generally  adopted  and  used  by  all  makers  of  lead. 

"The  name  of  the  first  white  lead  firm  was  Samuel  Wetherill  and  Son,  Samuel  Wetherill. 
Jr.,  evidently  being  the  active  member.  After  his  father's  death. in  1816,  Samuel  Wetherill, 
Jr.'s  sons  joined  the  business  and  the  firm  became  Samuel  Wetherill  and  Sons.  After  the 
death  of  Samuel  Wetherill,  Jr.,  in  1829,  it  became  Wetherill  Brothers.  The  store  of  the 
firm  was  at  65  North  Front  Street ;  the  warehouse  and  mill  of  the  old  establishment  were  on 
Coomb's  Alley,  back  of  Second  Street. 

"When  the  residence  part  of  the  city  spread  to  Twelfth  and  Cherry  Streets,  Samuel 
Wetherill,  having  bought  ten  acres  of  land  on  the  bank  of  the  Schuylkill  River,  below  Chest- 
nut Street,  moved  there  in  1847;  his  sons  (Wetherill  and  Brother)  built  the  white  lead  and 
chemical  works  and  continue  to  this  day." 

John  Harrison  also  began  the  manufacture  of  white  lead  in  1806.  The  firm  of  Mordecai 
and  Samuel  N.  Lewis,  which  afterwards  became  John  T.  Lewis  and  Brothers,  also  began 
the  manufacture  of  white  lead  in  1812,  making  three  Philadelphia  firms  manufacturing  paint 
colors  at  that  time.  These  three  earliest  manufacturers  of  white  lead  and  paint  colors  or 
their  lineal  successors  have  continued  in  business  to  the  present  time,  for  considerably  over 
a  century,  and  have  done  much  to  give  Philadelphia  its  long-continued  prominence  as  a 
chemical  manufacturing  center. 

One  of  the  lines  of  manufacture  that  contributed  to  make  Philadelphia  a  great  chemical 
center  early  in  the  last  century  was  that  of  the  yellow  and  red  prussiates  of  potash.  I  have 
been  furnished  a  private  memorandum  concerning  the  activities  of  the  firm  who  began  this 
industry  and  were  active  in  it  for  many  years. 

"Under  the  firm  name  of  Carter  and  Scattergood,  a  profitable  chemical  manufacturing 
business  was  conducted  from  1834  to  1911;  and  was  absorbed  in  the  latter  year  by  The 
Henry  Bower  Chemical  Mfg.  Co. 

"John  Carter  and  Joseph  Scattergood  bought  out  the  old-established  business  of  'John 
and  Daniel  Elliott'  founded  in  1754  by  their  grandfather,  John  Elliott. 

"Jos.  Scattergood  graduated  P.  C.  P.,  1829. 

"The  Elliotts'  place  of  business  and  factory  was  originally  on  Front  Street,  between 
Chestnut  and  Walnut  Streets,  but  in  1812,  the  manufacturing  work  was  transferred  to  a  new 
factory  which  they  erected  at  Nineteenth  and  Pine  Streets,  John  Carter  becoming  their  ap- 
prentice January  1,  1816. 

"The  list  of  chemicals  produced  by  Carter  and  Scattergood  was  an  extensive  one,  John 
Carter  being  the  manufacturer  and  Joseph  Scattergood,  the  business  man  of  the  concern. 
It  included  citric,  tartaric,  oxalic,  nitric  and  sulphuric  acids,  bichromate  and  prussiates  of 
potash  and  many  other  articles,  but  their  operations  during  the  first  ten  years  of  their  busi- 
ness were  on  a  scale  which  in  this  day  would  be  considered  quite  small. 

"Yellow  prussiate  of  potash  was  first  made  by  them  in  1834  (that  being,  so  far  as  known, 
the  first  production  of  the  article  in  America),  but  the  demand  was  very  small,  only  472  Ibs. 
being  absorbed  by  the  market  in  that  year.  In  1835,  the  sales  increased  to  6,443  Ibs.  but  it 
was  not  until  1843  that  the  demand  became  large,  the  sales  amounting  in  that  year  to  69,470 
Ibs.  and  rapidly  increasing  in  the  next  two  years,  the  sales  in  1845  being  207,522  Ibs. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       307 

"The  high  price,  over  50  cents  per  lb.,  and  the  keen  demand,  of  course,  resulted  in  active 
competition,  and  the  market  for  many  years  was  over-supplied. 

"In  the  year  1846,  Carter  and  Scattergood  began  to  produce  red  prussiate  of  potash, 
being  the  first  in  America.  This  was  a  highly  profitable  branch  of  the  business  until  the 
introduction  of  coal-tar  dyes,  as  substitutes  for  prussiate  colors  on  woolen  goods,  gradually 
displaced  it  in  the  most  important  field  of  consumption.  Except  for  the  manufacture  of 
Blue-Print  Paper,  there  is  now  very  little  demand  for  it." 

Potash  and  ammonia  alums  were  first  made  in  Philadelphia  by  Chas.  Lennig  in  1837, 
and  by  Harrison  Bros,  in  1840. 

Coming  now  to  the  early  manufacture  of  medicinal  or  pharmaceutical  chemicals  which 
has  long  made  Philadelphia  famous,  we  find  that  George  D.  Rosengarten  and  Charles  Zeitler, 
as  Rosengarten  and  Zeitler,  began  the  manufacture  of  chemicals  in  St.  John  Street,  Philadel- 
phia, about  1822.  They  were  the  first  to  manufacture  the  alkaloids  of  cinchona  and  opium 
in  this  country,  having  begun  the  manufacture  of  sulphate  of  quinine  in  1823,  of  sulphate  of 
morphine  in  1832,  and  strychnine  in  1834.  The  salts  of  quinine  were  also  manufactured  by 
John  Farr  in  1825. 

These  two  firms  and  their  successors  have  had  much  to  do  with  the  establishment  of 
Philadelphia  as  a  chemical  manufacturing  center.  After  the  withdrawal  of  Mr.  Zeitler, 
which  took  place  within  a  year,  Mr.  Rosengarten  continued  alone,  later  taking  in  a  Mr.  Den- 
nis. When  this  partner  withdrew  some  twenty  years  later,  the  firm  became  Rosengarten 
and  Sons,  which  business  continued  until  the  formation  of  the  present  combination  with  the 
other  large  Philadelphia  manufacturer  of  medicinal  chemicals,  Powers  and  Weightman. 

Farr  and  Kunzi  began  the  manufacture  of  chemicals  about  1818.  Abraham  Kunzi,  a 
Swiss  by  birth,  retired  in  1838,  and  the  senior  partner,  John  Farr,  who  had  been  born  and 
brought  up  in  England,  associated  with  himself  Thomas  H.  Powers  and  William  Weightman, 
two  young  Philadelphians  who  had  been  in  the  employ  of  the  firm  for  some  time.  The  new 
firm  name  was  John  Farr  and  Co.  This  was  later  changed  to  Farr,  Powers  and  Weightman, 
and  on  the  death  of  the  senior  partner  in  1841,  the  firm  name  was  again  changed;  this  time 
to  the  title — Powers  and  Weightman,  by  which  it  was  so  long  known  throughout  the  entire 
country. 

These  two  firms,  in  1905,  united  under  the  name  of  the  Powers-Weightman-Rosengarten 
Company,  and  continue  as  probably  the  best-known  manufacturers  of  general  and  medicinal 
chemicals  in  the  United  States. 

The  history  of  the  commercial  production  of  pure  glycerin  is  also  of  interest  in  this  ac- 
count of  Philadelphia's  chemical  achievements. 

The  late  Robert  Shoemaker,  while  making  medicinal  plaster,  had  his  attention  directed 
by  Professor  Wm.  Procter  to  the  residuum  liquid  which  was  obtained.  From  this  he  pre- 
pared the  first  glycerin  made  in  this  city,  if  not  in  America,  in  1846,  and  this  was  exhibited 
by  Professor  Procter  to  his  class  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  at  that  time.  Mr. 
Shoemaker  manufactured  it  for  sale,  according  to  his  statement,  for  some  years  in  connection 
with  the  manufacture  of  lead  plaster. 

The  later  development  of  the  refining  of  waste  lyes  containing  glycerin  was  also  a  Phila- 
delphia achievement  and  was  worked  out  by  the  late  Henry  Bower.  By  the  courtesy  of  his 
son,  W.  H.  Bower,  I  am  allowed  to  quote  from  a  private  letter,  which  gives  the  account 
of  his  work,  in  his  own  words: 

"Quite  early  in  life,  say  in  1857,  my  attention  was  keenly  directed  to  some  mode  of  puri- 
fying these  waste  liquors  of  the  stearine  candle  factories,  and  in  that  year  I  could  have  pur- 
chased the  entire  product  of  crude  glycerine  of  the  United  States  for  a  sum  not  exceeding 
$5,000.  although  the  manufacture  of  it  was  nearly  if  not  quite  as  large  then,  as  now. 

"I  commenced  work  in  earnest  to  experiment  in  purifying  glycerine  in  1858— and  ex- 
pended long  and  weary  efforts,  all  my  earnings,  as  well  as  some  borrowed  money.  I  at  first 
succeeded  in  producing  an  article  sufficiently  pure  for  use  in  gas  meters  (in  place  of  alcohol) 
to  prevent  freezing  and  stoppage  of  the  instrument — it  was  not  however  until  about  the  mid- 
dle of  1860  that  I  succeeded  in  making  and  placing  in  the  market  a  'pure  inordorous  glycerine,' 
even  then  the  amount  sold  was  quite  insignificant.  Inferior  grades  made  their  appearance 
about  the  same  time  in  the  West.  The  bland  and  neutral  nature  of  the  article,  and  the  dis- 
covery of  various  uses  for  it,  soon  increased  the  demand  to  a  marked  extent;  I  was  enabled 


308       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

from  time  to  time  to  increase  my  works,  and  in  increasing  them  was  making  steady  inroad 
into  the  supply  of  the  crude  article.  At  this  period,  say  in  1863,  the  business  of  refining 
glycerine  was  scarcely  known  on  the  continent  of  Europe,  and  I  exported  small  quantities 
to  Hamburg  paying  a  profit ;  Belgium,  France,  Germany  and  Austria  were  immense  producers 
of  crude  glycerine,  but  like  its  sister  product  here  in  previous  years,  it  only  found  its  way 
to  the  sea.  As  before  stated,  the  use  and  sale  of  the  refined  continued  to  improve,  the  crude 
growing  more  scarce  each  season,  until  a  point  has  been  reached  when  every  available  pound 
is  worked  into  a  valuable  product.  It  would  not  be  out  of  the  way  to  place  the  total  value 
of  all  the  glycerine  sold  in  the  United  States  at  this  time  at  $500,000.  This  sum  could  never 
have  been  reached  had  it  not  been  for  the  discovery  of  a  mode  for  refining  to  which,  so  far 
as  this  country  is  concerned,  I  lay  claim;  by  a  careful  management  of  my  business  for  some 
years  I  kept  the  process  a  secret;  but  in  time  some  portions  of  it  came  to  the  knowledge  of 
other  persons,  who  have  been  enabled  to  produce  very  fair  articles.  There  are  besides  myself, 
here  two  refiners  in  Cincinnati,  one  in  Chicago,  and  one  in  New  York.'' 

There  were,  of  course,  other  drug  and  chemical  firms  who  were  well  and  favorably 
known  in  the  early  half  as  well  as  the  later  half  of  the  nineteenth  century. 

We  have  already  mentioned  the  name  of  Christopher  Marshall,  Jr..  who  was  active  in 
Revolutionary  days.  Himself  the  son  of  a  druggist,  he  was  succeeded  by  his  son,  Charles 
Marshall,  and  his  grandson,  Charles  Marshall,  Jr.,  who  in  1814,  established  himself  in  the 
wholesale  business  at  310  Market  Street. 

With  this  Charles  Marshall,  Jr.,  entered  as  an  apprentice,  Geo.  W.  Carpenter,  who  later 
became  one  of  the  most  prominent  as  well  as  successful  of  wholesale  druggists  in  Philadel- 
phia. The  old  store  of  Carpenter  and  Henzey  at  Eighth  and  Market  Streets,  I  remember  quite 
well  as  it  stood  about  forty  years  ago. 

A  very  well-known  drug  firm  of  the  latter  half  of  the  nineteenth  century  was  that  of 
Bullock  and  Crenshaw.  They  were  the  successors  to  Smith  and  Hodgson,  who  established 
themselves  as  druggists  at  the  corner  of  Sixth  and  Arch  Streets  in  1819,  where  they  con- 
tinued until  1849,  when  they  disposed  of  their  drug  business  to  two  of  their  employees,  who 
then  formed  the  firm  of  Bullock  and  Crenshaw.  This  firm  carried  on  not  only  a  wholesale 
drug  business  but  handled  fine  chemicals  and  chemical  apparatus,  supplying  many  colleges 
and  schools  throughout  the  country.  In  September,  1868,  they  moved  to  528  Arch  Street, 
where  in  larger  quarters  they  carried  on  a  flourishing  business  until  the  death  of  Charles 
Bullock,  the  surviving  partner. 

The  firm  of  French,  Richards  and  Co.  was  for  many  years  one  of  the  best  known  of 
Philadelphia  drug  firms  at  its  centrally  located  store.  Tenth  and  Market  Streets.  The  founder 
of  this  firm  was  Clayton  French,  who,  in  1840,  entered  the  drug  business  as  an  apprentice 
with  Dr.  Edward  S.  Wilcox.  This  firm  was  disbanded  in  1890  on  the  death  of  its  founder, 
but  in  the  meantime  its  extensive  cement  and  plaster  department,  which  was  started  in  1852, 
at  Callowhill  Street  and  York  Avenue,  had  been  erected  in  1883,  into  a  separate  business 
under  the  name  of  Samuel  H.  French  and  Co.  This  has  since  developed  into  a  very  ex- 
tensive cement,  plaster  and  dry  color  firm,  now  under  the  leadership  of  Howard  B.  French, 
a  son  of  Samuel  H.  French  of  the  original  French,  Richards  and  Co.  firm. 

Centennial  Celebration  Week 

The  Centennial  Celebration  Week  of  the  College  (June  12-15)  began  with  the 
baccalaureate  sermon  to  the  graduates  on  Sunday,  June  12,  1921,  by  the  Rev.  Dr. 
David  M.  Steele  in  the  Episcopal  Church  of  St.  Luke  and  the  Epiphany  on  Thir- 
teenth Street  near  Spruce  Street.  Monday,  June  13,  was  Alumni  Day  at  the  Col- 
lege. The  Alumni  Association,  in  annual  meeting  assembled,  gave  its  unqualified 
endorsement  of  the  selection  of  Rear-Admiral  Braisted  as  president  of  the  College. 
It  elected  its  officers  for  the  ensuing  year.  Dr.  William  Duffield  Robinson  retired 
as  president  of  the  Association  and  Russell  T.  Blackwood  succeeded  him. 

E.  Fullerton  Cook  then  gave  a  lecture  upon  the  history  of  the  College,  illustrating 
his  remarks  with  lantern  slides  of  much  historical  interest.  The  evening  was  devoted 
to  the  usual  annual  banquet  to  the  graduating  class  in  the  College  Auditorium.

Centennial  Exercises 

The  next  day.  Tuesday,  June  14,  was  particularly  set  aside  for  the  Centennial 
Exercises.  At  ten  o'clock  in  the  morning  the  alumni,  the  invited  guests  and  other 
friends  of  the  College,  assembled  in  the  Ball  Room  of  the  Bellevue-Stratford  Hotel. 
So  many  congratulatory  messages  had  been  received,  that  it  was  deemed  inex- 
pedient to  introduce  them  as  a  part  of  the  exercises.  President  William  C.  Braisted 
appeared  for  the  first  time  as  the  presiding  officer. 

Dr.  \Yilliam  H.  Carpenter,  Provost  of  Columbia  University,  from  which  Ad- 
miral Braisted  had  graduated,  was  present  and  spoke  as  follows :

3IO       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

and   Secretary  of  Columbia  University   Press.     Author  of  numerous  articles  in  magazines, 
reviews,  encyclopedias  and  works  of  reference. 

In  a  search  in  the  Columbia  University  Library  recently  for  material  bearing  upon  the 
early  history  of  medical  education  in  New  York,  we  came  across  a  pamphlet  containing  the 
address  delivered  at  the  Commencement,  in  1819,  of  the  College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons, 
now  of  Columbia  University,  at  that  time  under  the  temporary  jurisdiction  of  the  University 
of  the  State  of  New  York,  by  Dr.  Samuel  Bard,  President  of  the  College.  Dr.  Bard,  who 
was  born  in  your  good  City  of  Philadelphia  in  1742,  had  been  Professor  of  the  Practice  of 
Medicine  in  old  King's  College  before  the  Revolution;  he  had  become  in  due  time  the  chief 
practitioner  of  medicine  in  the  City  and  Province  of  New  York,  and  had  the  distinction  of 
being  the  family  physician  of  George  Washington.  The  address,  which  is  a  truly  remark- 
able one  both  as  a  statement  and  a  prophecy,  begins  with  the  following  sentence :  "A  sound 
mind,  in  a  sound  body,  constitutes  the  principal  happiness  and  perfection  of  man;  the  means, 
therefore,  by  which  such  great  and  essential  benefits  are  to  be  secured,  have  ever  been  the 
object  of  his  solicitude,  and  most  anxious  inquiry."  The  statement,  made  a  hundred  years 
ago,  was  not  new,  nor  in  its  main  thought  original.  It  is  in  reality  but  a  paraphrase  of  what 
the  Latin  poet,  Juvenal,  said  eighteen  hundred  years  before  him  in  that  often  quoted  Latin 
phrase :  "Mens  sana  in  corpore  sano,"  as  constituting  the  ideal  possession  of  a  Roman  youth. 

The  statement  has  appealed  to  me  for  the  universality  of  its  application.  It  would  be 
quite  impossible  at  the  present  time,  or  it  will  be  impossible  through  the  long  years  of  his- 
tory yet  to  come,  better  to  formulate  the  matter,  either  in  its  original  epigrammatic  form 
eighteen  centuries  ago,  or  in  its  paraphrase  a  century  ago,  as  the  essential  fact  in  the  existence 
of  the  individual,  both  for  himself  and  for  the  part  that  he  perforce  must  play  in  the  social 
complex  of  his  day  and  generation — for  I  take  it  as  a  self-evident  truth  that  no  man  stands  for 
himself  alone  in  his  out-goings  and  his  in-comings,  in  his  opinions  and  his  prejudices,  in 
his  joys  and  his  sorrows,  in  the  manifold  actions  and  reactions  of  human  contact  in  the  re- 
lationships of  life,  and  that  his  mind  and  his  body  in  their  balance  are  a  fundamental  fact  in 
the  greater  balance  of  the  world  of  men  beyond  him. 

If  this  fact  then  remains,  as  it  seems  to  me  to  remain  almost  an  eternal  verity,  that  a 
"sound  body"  is  an  essential  factor,  and  let  us  even  say  the  essential  factor  of  successful 
living,  it  is,  after  all,  but  a  general  statement  that  like  such  statements  elsewhere  is  in  need 
of  what  is  sometimes  called  a  definition  of  particulars  to  make  it  directly  intelligible  and 
applicable  to  any  particular  time.  In  point  of  fact,  it  has  had  at  one  time  a  meaning  very 
different  from  what  it  has  had  at  another,  and  while  in  a  broad  sense  it  has  been  always 
true,  in  a  narrow  sense  of  the  actual  accomplishment  of  result  in  the  light  of  the  under- 
standing of  a  particular  time,  it  has  swayed  backward  and  forward  as  the  ideas  of  life  and 
living  have  advanced  or  retreated  on  the  long  highway  of  human  history.  What  I  mean  to 
say  is  that  while  the  attainment  of  a  sound  mind  in  a  sound  body  has  been  the  educational 
ideal  of  the  centuries — for  it  is  a  true  definition  of  the  purpose  of  education,  as  it  has  ever 
been — the  means  to  attain  it  and  the  real  results  that  it  has  been  desired  to  attain  have  been 
as  different  as  has  been  the  whole  varying  course  of  human  civilization.  The  serious  ideals 
of  one  age  have  been  at  times  the  ridicule  of  the  next,  and  the  little-regarded  of  one  genera- 
tion have  been  not  seldom  advanced  by  its  successors  at  other  times  to  positions  of  supreme 
importance  as  matters  of  belief,  and  it  has  even  gone  so  far  in  history  that  the  sins  of  one 
generation  have  been  the  virtues  of  the  next. 

The  history  of  education,  accordingly,  as  I  desire  to  use  the  term,  shows  a  constantly 
changing  concept,  even  generation  after  generation,  of  the  means  of  attainment  and  of  the 
actual  ultimate  result  to  be  attained,  to  accord  with  the  time  and  place,  which  shall  constitute 
a  man  in  the  eyes  of  his  generation  as  one  with  a  sound  mind  in  a  sound  body,  or,  as  we 
may  choose  to  phrase  it,  with  an  education  that  shall  fit  him  to  play  his  part  on  its  recognized 
stage  of  action. 

In  a  recent  English  essay  on  the  need  of  educational  reform,  although  in  a  wholly  differ- 
ent connection,  I  find  this  matter  stated  much  more  clearly  and  concisely  than  I  have  done. 
"A  new  age,"  it  says,  "postulates  a  new  education,"  and  it  is  explained  that  "the  traditions 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       311 

which  have  dominated  hitherto  must  one  by  one  be  challenged  to  render  account  of  them- 
selves ;  that  which  is  good  in  them  must  be  conserved  and  assimilated,  that  which  is  effete 
must  be  scrapped  and  rejected."  An  education,  I  would  add,  that  does  not  fit  into  the  life 
of  the  time,  not  necessarily  to  subordinate  itself  supinely  to  it,  but  at  least  to  recognize  in  its 
content  and  in  the  organization  of  its  methods  the  inherent  necessities  of  the  day,  is  useless 
where  it  should  be  most  useful  as  the  very  foundation  of  an  advancing  civilization. 

If  all  these  things  are  true,  and  I  think  in  the  main  they  are,  the  thought  that  readily 
occurs  is  what  should  be  the  nature  and  content  of  education  at  the  present  time,  and  what 
is  its  true  significance  in  the  life  of  the  individual  and  in  that  of  the  community  of  which 
he,  whether  he  will  or  not,  is  a  constituent  and  participating  part.  For  my  present  purposes 
I  shall  assume  that  a  system  of  formal  education  that  has  any  just  claim  to  recognition  as 
logically  conceived  and  consistently  carried  out  takes  due  account  of  a  sound  mind  and  a 
sound  body  as  coincident  factors  of  educational  development.  One  of  my  colleagues  at 
Columbia  University  a  number  of  years  ago  wrote  a  book  with  the  somewhat  amazing  title 
of  "Why  the  Mind  has  a  Body,"  and  he  went  on  to  question  the  rather  natural  inference 
that  mind  and  body  are,  in  respect  of  action,  on  a  footing  of  equality;  in  other  words,  that 
the  temptation  lies  very  near  the  surface  to  set  up  the  claim  that  every  fact  which  shows 
the  influence  of  body  upon  mind  can  be  matched  with  a  fact  showing  the  influence  of  mind 
upon  body.  His  ultimate  conclusion,  however,  is  that  the  dependence  of  mind  upon  body  in 
the  long  run  is  only  apparent,  and  that  as  an  actual  fact  of  existence  the  mind  dominates 
the  body,  which  is,  after  all,  but  the  seat  of  organic  life.  Whichever  is  true — and  such  specu- 
lations run  far  afield — is  beyond  my  present  purpose.  We  must  presuppose,  I  think,  that  it 
is  an  intention  of  education  to  secure  by  its  processes  the  sound  body  that  alone  can  support 
in  its  processes  the  sound  mind,  and  that  the  school  and  the  college,  however  imperfectly 
the  results  may  actually  be  attained,  are  as  alive  today  to  the  necessity  of  the  correlation  as 
were  any  of  our  forbears  in  the  past.  I  hold  no  special  brief  for  the  particular  form  which 
the  training  of  the  body  should  take  in  the  school  or  the  college,  since  the  matter  must  often 
be  considered  from  the  point  of  view  of  opportunity  and  environment,  but  that  it  should 
have  a  place,  and  a  well-recognized  place,  as  a  fact  and  factor  in  any  scheme  of  formal 
education  is  beyond  argument.  What  I  should  have  in  mind,  however,  in  school  and  college, 
is  participant  athletics — not  the  kind  where  the  conscientious  objectors  sit  comfortably  on 
the  bleachers  and  let  the  football  team  do  all  the  rest.  Even  the  professional  school,  where 
notably  the  work  is  intensive  and  the  time  is  short,  should  find  at  least  a  modicum  of  space 
for  athletic  exercise,  for  a  man  who  goes  out  to  the  practice  of  a  profession  with  an  ill- 
equipped  body,  however  his  mind  may  function,  is  handicapped  from  the  start. 

What,  then,  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  mind — and  of  the  soul — is  the  real  signifi- 
cance of  education,  at  the  present  time,  not  only  to  my  generation  which  began  with  widely 
different  ideas,  and  in  some  respects  with  very  different  ideals,  from  those  of  today,  but  to 
the  generation  that  is  now  taking  possession  of  the  field  as  our  successors  in  the  activities 
of  life;  and  what  shall  it  be  in  its  character  and  content  to  function,  as  needs  must  be,  as  a 
controlling  impulse  to  lead  not  only  the  heads,  but  the  hearts  of  men?  "How  can  a  man," 
says  Carlyle,  "without  clear  vision  in  his  heart,  first  of  all,  have  any  clear  vision  in  his  head?" 
And  long  before  him,  it  was  pointed  out  that:  "As  a  man  thinketh  in  his  heart  so  is  he." 

In  making  any  definition  of  education,  or  in  attempting  any  predication  of  its  purpose 
and  results,  we  must,  of  course,  at  the  beginning  fully  recognize  the  fact  that  in  the  life 
of  the  professional  man,  the  lawyer,  the  physician,  or  the  pharmacist,  there  are  two  elements 
involved,  his  education  in  his  profession,  on  the  one  side,  and  his  liberal  education  on  the 
other,  or  what  we  might  properly  call,  at  least  from  a  certain  standpoint,  his  special  and  his 
general  education.  My  contention  is  that  not  for  a  moment  is  there  any  actual  line  of 
demarcation  between  the  two.  They  are  like  two  states  of  matter  in  flux  that  flow  into  each 
other  until  the  whole  is  permeated  by  both  and  a  new  compound  is  formed  that  partakes  of 
the  nature  of  both  elements,  but  yet  in  the  end  is  neither.  The  lines  of  a  professional  edu- 
cation at  the  present  time  in  its  narrow  sense  of  a  special  training  for  the  practice  of  some 
one  of  its  many  phases  are  as  a  general  thing  well  laid  down,  and  the  professional  schools 
of  the  country  of  the  best  sort  are  more  adequate  in  their  equipment  of  men  and  methods 


312       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

and  more  reasonably  sure  of  the  competency  of  their  professional  product  to  understand 
and  to  cope  with  the  problems  of  practice  than  ever  before  in  our  history.  This  is,  how- 
ever, but  one  part  of  the  problem  of  education,  for  a  man,  and,  we  must  now  be  careful  to 
say,  in  her  share  in  the  practice  of  the  professions,  a  woman,  who  is  trained  in  a  profession 
alone,  and  no  matter  what  that  particular  profession  may  be,  is  only  half  educated,  for  an- 
other half  essentially  important  has  been  neglected.  I  should  greatly  doubt,  however,  when 
all  is  said,  that  any  one  of  the  good  professional  schools  now  walks  consciously  into  such  a 
slough  of  despond  as  to  make  its  courses  of  instruction  purely  professional  and  nothing  else, 
or  at  least  does  not  base  its  professional  training  as  a  climax  of  formal  education  upon  a 
basis  of  general  culture.  There  are,  nevertheless,  from  the  very  nature  of  the  case,  tempta- 
tions to  do  so  that  must  be  borne  in  mind  in  the  organization  and  conduct  of  every  profes- 
sional school,  whether  pharmacy,  law,  or  medicine,  or  any  other,  that  must  be  counteracted 
and  discouraged.  There  is  an  insistent  demand  in  an  age  that  is  distinctly  materialistic  for 
material  results,  and,  in  the  characteristic  hurry  of  the  time,  for  their  rapid  production,  and 
the  young  men  and  young  women  who  are  to  go  out  into  the  world  in  the  practice  of  a  pro- 
fession for  themselves  are  confronted  with  a  period  of  preparation,  if  care  is  not  taken,  too 
prolonged  in  age  and  expense  to  make  it  possible  of  accomplishment.  These  are  real  diffi- 
culties that  confront  every  professional  school  in  the  proper  carrying  out  of  a  scheme  of 
education,  and  yet  they  must  be  rationally  met  or  else  that  school  has  only  half  done  its 
duty  to  those  whom  it  has  stamped  with  its  approval  at  the  end  of  its  teaching.  It  may  be 
true  that  the  school  in  question  has  prepared  its  graduates  to  make  a  living,  which,  to  be 
sure,  is  one  of  the  ends  of  existence  and  a  very  important  end  indeed,  since  a  good  deal  de- 
pends upon  it  for  the  part  you  play  or  even  whether  you  are  alive  or  dead,  but  in  the  more 
perfect  equipment  for  life,  and  that  is  what  we  are  considering,  the  fact  of  merely  being 
able  to  make  a  living,  although  it  is  essential  to  most  of  us,  or  the  acquisition  of  wealth  which 
is  but  its  sublimation,  is  but  one  element  and  not  the  only  one  in  the  whole  plan  of  existence, 
for  the  end  of  all  real  education  is  not  to  make  a  living,  but  to  live! 

And  what  about  this  other  half  in  a  scheme  of  education,  concerning  which  we  have 
been  talking  with  such  confidence  as  an  element  of  human  life?  A  wise  man  has  said  that 
"the  aim  of  education  is  the  knowledge  not  of  facts,  but  of  values,"  in  the  sense  that  "values 
are  facts  apprehended  in  their  relation  to  each  other,  and  to  ourselves."  The  matter  could 
not  have  been  better  stated,  for  it  is  certain  that  the  mere  accumulation  of  facts,  whatsoever 
kind  they  may  be,  does  not  constitute  an  education,  or  knowledge  of  them  an  educated  man. 
It  plays  no  part  to  you  or  to  me  as  a  criterion  of  education,  as  it  is  sometimes  made  to  ap- 
pear, whether  we  know  any  part  or  all  of  a  long, list  of  what  is,  after  all,  but  the  uncor- 
related  material  of  education,  and  not  the  thing  itself  in  its  relationships  and  its  proper  ad- 
justments into  a  body  of  knowledge  which  shall  constitute  a  cultural  whole.  A  man  may 
have  read  through  the  whole  Encyclopedia  Britannica  and  have  remembered  its  facts,  and 
yet  have  failed  wholly  in  securing  an  education  in  any  real  sense.  Facts  are  no  doubt  the 
basis  in  essential  ways  of  education.  This  is  particularly  true  of  the  strictly  professional 
part  of  education,  where  of  necessity  facts  are  the  very  bricks  and  mortar  on  which  the 
superstructure  of  professional  knowledge  is  built,  but  this  presupposes  no  heterogeneous  col- 
lection of  the  odds  and  ends  of  knowledge,  but  of  the  evaluation  of  the  many  facts  with 
which  a  profession  is  necessarily  concerned  in  their  relation  to  each  other  and  their  fusion 
together  into  a  connected  product  of  immensely  increased  importance  because  of  its  cumu- 
lative force. 

As  to  the  true  content  of  what  is  usually  called  a  liberal  education,  although  only  too 
often  it  is  illiberal  in  nature  and  amount,  I  again  hold  no  specific  brief.  I  have,  however, 
a  very  definite  opinion  of  what  should  constitute  in  the  end  that  education  which  it  is  de- 
sirable to  attain  in  order  to  give  it  its  true  significance  in  a  scheme  of  living.  Herbert 
Spencer's  famous  definition  of  biological  life:  "The  continuous  adjustment  of  internal  rela- 
tions to  external  relations,"  is  much  more  widely  applicable  than  to  the  mere  functional 
existence  of  the  body,  for  it  applies  alike  to  the  mind  and  soul  of  man,  and  it  is  the  great 
and  transcendent  purpose  of  a  true  education  to  awaken  the  mind  and  soul  and  to  bring 
them  into  harmony  and  adjustment  with  the  conditions  of  life.

Education,  then,  is  not  mere  instruction  in  the  subjects  of  the  school  or  college  curric- 
ulum, whatever  they  may  be,  science,  the  classics,  mathematics,  literature,  or  history.  These 
in  proper  balance  are  no  doubt,  in  some  measure  or  other,  the  legitimate  means  to  an  end, 
but  they  are  that  only  in  their  proper  function  as  factors  in  a  combined  result  more  im- 
portant than  any  one  of  them.  And  just  where  the  emphasis  in  subject  instruction  should 
lie  I  do  not  know,  and  the  schoolmen  themselves  who  are  most  directly  concerned  with  this 
phase  of  formal  education  are  by  no  means  agreed  as  to  what  the  ultimate  worth  to  a  trained 
mind  this  or  that  subject  should  be.  The  field  is  so  broad  that  it  is  only  possible  to  delimit 
and  choose,  but  the  choice  need  not  necessarily  be  in  every  instance  the  same,  and  doubtless 
at  the  best,  and  whatever  has  been  chosen,  it  will  only  partially  accomplish  its  object.  I  am 
not  like  the  Scotchman  of  ancient  memory  who  was  open  to  conviction,  but  would  like  to 
see  the  man  who  could  convince  him,  or  the  man  who  liked  any  color  so  long  as  it  was  red. 
My  own  preference  would  be  the  classics,  for  I  am  old-fashioned,  a  science,  because  I  be- 
lieve in  the  new,  English  language  and  literature,  a  modicum  of  mathematics  and  a  good 
deal  of  history,  but  I  am  open  to  conviction  that  that  is  not  the  only  way  to  state  the  case, 
and  that  under  the  special  circumstances  at  hand  other  subjects,  in  other  proportions,  might 
be  selected  as  well. 

The  end,  however,  of  a  formal  education  is  clear.  It  is  so  to  train  the  mind  and  the 
soul  that  there  shall  be  a  foundation  at  least  of  the  true  appreciation  of  the  values  of  the 
things  of  life.  Xo  one  is,  of  course,  educated  in  school  or  college,  for  education  never  ceases, 
now  or  at  any  time,  in  the  normal  existence  of  the  individual.  The  student  in  the  story  that 
1  have  always  considered  somewhat  apocryphal  who  rushed  out  of  his  college  Commencement 
waving  his  diploma  in  the  air  and  shouting:  "Thank  God,  I  am  educated!"  was  entirely 
too  sanguine  of  the  actual  result  that  had  been  attained  even  by  a  college  course.  The  story 
does  not  tell  of  his  future  history,  but  I  greatly  fear  that  it  was  one  of  disillusionment,  for 
he  surely  must  soon  have  realized  that  he  was  only  at  the  beginning  and  not  the  end  of  an 
unceasing  quest. 

It  is  the  province  of  education  to  point  out  the  direction  of  the  quest  for  knowledge  and 
for  the  truth  that  ages  ago  it  was  said  "shall  make  you  free" — free  to  discriminate  between 
the  true  and  the  false  wherever  they  may  appear,  in  the  narrower  ethics  of  the  practice  of  a 
particular  profession  as  well  as  in  the  broader  affairs  of  civic  and  national  life;  free  to  dis- 
cover and  to  understand  the  false  claims  of  charlatanism  in  all  phases  of  life  and  in  what- 
soever guise,  or  disguise,  they  may  clothe  themselves  for  the  befoolment  of  the  crowd ; 
free  to  value  at  their  real  worth  the  passing  fads  and  foibles  of  the  moment  that  are  but 
the  froth  borne  along  on  the  top  of  the  wave  that  presently  will  recede  and  leave  the  wider 
surface  unruffled  as  before;  in  other  words,  free  to  recognize  that  truth,  and  truth  only,  is 
eternal,  and  that  all  else  sooner  or  later  in  God's  good  time  disappears  wholly  from  the  sight 
of  men,  that  it  ultimately  vanishes — an  intangible  shadow  without  substance  or  reality — back 
into  the  infinite  space  from  which  it  momentarily  has  emerged  and  is  forgotten ! 

There  has  been  no  greater  need  at  any  time  of  the  educated  man,  and  no  time  like  the 
present  time  to  keep  these  things  in  mind.  I  have  always  remembered  a  phrase  used  by 
President  Butler  in  the  address  delivered  at  the  Columbia  Commencement  of  1917.  At 
that  time,  the  Great  War  was  still  in  its  throes  of  death  and  destruction,  but  it  was  pointed 
out  by  the  speaker  that  the  world  was  more  than  a  world  at  war,  it  was  a  world  in  ferment. 
What  he  meant  was  that  the  political  and  social  conditions  that  always  follow  in  the  wake  of 
war,  and  as  a  consequence  of  it,  were  like  the  chemical  decomposition  of  an  organic  com- 
pound, and  veritably  were  in  a  state  of  fermentation. 

What  was  said  then  in  the  midst  of  the  mighty  struggle  that  was  still  going  on  is  unfor- 
tunately as  true  today  as  upon  the  day  on  which  it  was  spoken.  The  world  is  still  in  ferment. 
Old  standards  of  conduct  have  been  obscured,  and  sometimes  forgotten.  Old  ideas  of  dutv 
have  apparently  been  laid  aside.  Old  traditions  of  righteousness  have  been  displaced  in  high 
places.  Xew  ideas  of  individualism  and  self-determination  have  swept  away  the  multitude, 
and  a  new  world,  in  many  respects  unlike  the  old,  has  taken  its  place.  In  spite,  however,  of 
all  that  is  new  and  disturbing  in  conditions  of  the  present  which  have  followed  as  a  natural 
consequence  the  destructive  forces  of  the  war,  destructive  to  human  conditions  as  well  as 


314       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

to  human  life,  there  are  still,  however,  in  the  new  world  that  has  come  about,  the  same 
fundamental  standards  of  life  and  living.  Whatever  has  been  installed  and  whatever  has 
been  lost,  there  are  still  as  deeply  intrenched  as  ever  the  eternal  verities  that  are  the  basis 
of  human  action.  Truth  may  be  obscured,  but  it  is  not  destroyed ;  honesty  may  be  in  eclipse, 
but  it  is  only  hidden ;  personal  conduct  that  controls  the  souls  of  men  remains  as  it  ever  was, 
the  fundamental  fact  of  human  and  social  existence.  However  much  things  seem  to  be  in 
disorder  and  standards  appear  to  be  destroyed,  at  the  bottom  there  is  still  the  same  basis 
of  human  action — action  as  an  individual  in  living  his  own  life  for  himself,  action  in  the 
individual  as  he  is  a  constituent  and  component  part  of  the  nation  in  which  he  lives.  How- 
ever the  world  may  change,  and  however  it  has  changed  within  your  memory  and  mine,  this 
is  the  fact  that  must  remain  still  firmly  fixed  in  our  minds,  that  the  old  rules  of  conduct  in 
the  things  of  the  mind  and  the  soul  are  still  always  as  they  have  been,  and  that  these  new 
conditions  that  confront  us  are  often  but  the  froth  of  the  ferment,  and  the  real,  the  funda- 
mental facts  of  existence  still  remain,  and  will  always  remain  the  same.  Life,  as  we  have 
said,  is  infinitely  more  than  organic  existence.  The  life  of  all  who  are  living  today  to  enter 
into  its  fullest  appreciation  is  not  only  the  life  of  the  body,  but  it  is  the  life  of  the  soul  of 
man  with  its  aspirations,  its  longings  for  results,  its  sacrifices  and  its  achievements,  and  the 
men  and  women  who  go  out  into  this  new  world  from  the  professional  schools  to  take  their 
place  in  it  should  be  equipped  not  only  with  a  knowledge  of  the  profession  which  they  may 
have  chosen  for  their  own,  but  equipped  also,  as  I  think,  with  a  knowledge  of  the  value  of 
the  things  of  life  to  themselves  as  individuals,  and  to  the  society  in  which  they  are  to  live 
and  to  act  as  its  responsible  members,  and  it  should  not  be  forgotten  that  these  fundamental 
things  that  I  have  called  to  mind  are  the  real  conditions  of  a  rational  existence. 

An  individualism  that  thinks  only  of  self  and  a  determination  that  has  only  self  for  its 
object  is,  however,  but  half  of  the  duty  of  man.  A  thought  of  self  is  necessary  for  self- 
preservation  as  a  fundamental  fact  of  existence,  but  the  mind  that  stops  there  has  only  real- 
ized a  part  of  the  supreme  significance  of  life,  which  not  merely  takes  account  of  the  indi- 
vidual to  himself,  but  also  in  a  broad  and  enlightened  spirit  makes  him  to  himself  a  consti- 
tuent and  militant  part  of  his  environment  and  of  his  place  in  human  society.  In  the  back- 
ground of  it  all  is  still,  of  course,  the  professional  calling  of  the  individual.  A  great  philos- 
opher, Francis  Bacon,  three  centuries  back  expressed  this  matter  in  terms  that  cannot  be  bet- 
ter stated  today:  "I  hold  every  man  a  debtor  to  his  profession,  from  the  which,  as  men  of 
course  do  seek  to  receive  countenance  and  profit,  so  ought  they  of  duty  to  endeavor  them- 
selves ...  to  be  a  help  and  ornament  thereunto."  There  can  be,  however,  no  thought  to  live 
for  it  alone,  because,  in  the  end,  it  is  only  one  of  the  manifold  parts  of  life. 

A  real  education  is  more  than  a  special  equipment  in  any  single  direction  of  human 
energy,  and  its  intention  is  to  unfold  to  its  highest  potentiality  the  nature  of  man.  The  best 
definition  that  I  have  ever  read  of  the  true  significance  of  such  an  education  to  the  man  who 
wears  it  as  his  crown  of  accomplishment  is  that  contained  in  Huxley's  "Essays,"  from  which 
I  copied  it  many  years  ago  and  have  kept  in  sight  as  a  precious  possession.  It  is  only  a  part 
of  a  longer  statement  of  the  position  of  man  in  the  universe  and  his  relation  to  it,  but  it  bears 
directly  on  the  present  case,  and  this  is  what  he  says : 

"That  man,  I  think,  has  had  a  liberal  education,  who  has  been  so  trained  in  youth  that 
his  body  is  the  ready  servant  of  his  will,  and  does  with  ease  and  pleasure  all  the  work  that 
as  a  mechanism  it  is  capable  of;  whose  intellect  is  a  clear,  cold  logic  engine,  with  all  its  parts 
of  equal  strength,  and  in  smooth,  working  order ;  ready,  like  a  steam  engine,  to  be  turned  to 
any  kind  of  work,  and  spin  the  gossamers  as  well  as  forge  the  anchors  of  the  mind;  whose 
mind  is  stored  with  a  knowledge  of  great  and  fundamental  truths  of  nature  and  of  the  laws 
of  her  operations ;  one  who,  no  stunted  ascetic,  is  full  of  life  and  fire,  but  whose  passions  are 
trained  to  come  to  heel  by  a  vigorous  will,  the  servant  of  a  tender  conscience ;  who  has  learned 
to  love  all  beauty,  whether  of  nature  or  of  art,  to  hate  all  vileness,  and  to  respect  others  as 
himself." 

Such  a  man,  it  seems  to  me,  has  realized  to  the  full  the  significance  of  education  as  I 
have  wished  it  to  appear  in  these  remarks,  fitted  in  his  mind  and  soul  to  serve  at  least  in 
partial  fulfillment  of  the  purpose  of  what  long  ago  was  called  "the  great  appetites  of  honor."

316       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Let  me  congratulate  you,  not  personally  only,  but  as  one  speaking  for  the  medical  pro- 
fession— and  although  I  have  no  official  commission  from  my  professional  colleagues,  I  know- 
that  I  voice  their  feeling — let  me,  on  behalf  of  the  physicians  of  Philadelphia  and  of  the 
United  States,  and  of  the  world,  congratulate  you  and  the  institution  you  represent,  upon 
its  hundred  years  of  youth;  its  hundred  years  of  high  aspiration;  yes,  its  hundred  years  of 
honorable  achievement. 

One  hundred  years!  One  hundred  steps  leading  upward  to  a  platform,  on  which  we 
may,  for  the  moment,  stand,  looking  back  on  the  way  of  ascent,  looking  forward  and  upward 
to  the  next  hundred  steps  now  to  be  essayed  ;  and  beyond  those,  an  hundred  and  an  hun- 
dred, and  other  hundreds,  leading  ever  upward,  ever  onward. 

But  you  have  not  merely  climbed.  As  you  have  toiled  up  the  hill,  you  have  carved  the 
road  by  which  to  go ;  you  have  built  the  very  stair  by  which  you  have  ascended ;  you  have 
planted  grass  and  tree  and  flower,  to  beautify  the  way;  you  have  digged  wells  for  the  re- 
freshment of  them  that  follow ;  you  have  ploughed  the  hillside  and  sown  it  with  grain,  whose 
abundant  harvests  have  been  life  and  healing  to  multitudes. 

If  you  have  failed  in  aught,  it  is  a  fault  of  modesty.  You  have  not  claimed  your  right- 
ful position  as  an  institution  of  learning;  your  graduates  have  not  demanded  their  rightful 
place  as  members  of  a  learned  profession. 

Once  the  physician  gathered  and  prepared  the  drugs  that  he  administered ;  but  in  the 
progress  of  science,  pharmacy  has  become  a  specialty,  demanding  certain  kinds  of  knowl- 
edge and  certain  expertness  of  manipulation,  which  the  physician,  busy  with  the  problems  of 
health  and  disease,  cannot  stop  to  acquire.  But  the  pharmacist's  art  is  as  important  as  that 
of  the  diagnostician,  for  of  what  avail  is  the  mere  recognition  of  the  evil,  when  the  remedy 
is  lacking?  It  is  as  important  as  that  of  the  therapeutist,  for  of  what  avail  to  know  the 
remedy,  if  that  remedy  cannot  be  obtained? 

Pharmacy  and  medicine  are  sister  professions,  and  physician  and  pharmacist  must  work 
together  to  the  common  ends  of  preserving  life,  of  restoring  health,  of  mitigating  distress. 

It  is  not  alone  for  members  of  my  profession  to  recognize  this,  but  for  your  profession 
to  live  up  to  it.  You  must  advance  your  standards  of  study  and  of  practice.  The  mere 
commercial  drugstore  has  its  place,  as  the  physician  of  merely  technical  training  has  his 
place — but  neither  is  the  highest  place.  We  need  a  greater  number  of  pharmacists  who — 
like  those  of  your  alumni  with  whom  it  has  been  my  privilege  to  work  in  the  revision  of  the 
U.  S.  Pharmacopceia — and  like  those  of  your  alumni  to  whom  I  frequently  turn,  in  the  course 
of  my  daily  work,  for  suggestions  as  to  the  practicability  of  certain  associations  of  remedies  or 
as  to  the  best  form  in  which  to  use  certain  agents — recognize,  and  in  their  work  exemplify, 
the  professional  character  of  their  calling.  We  need  a  greater  proportion  of  pharmacists 
who  are  not  content  to  be  merely  merchants  in  drugs  and  nostrums — much  less  merchants 
in  candy  and  hardware — but  who  feel  themselves  to  be,  and  conduct  themselves  as,  practi- 
tioners of  an  ancient  and  honorable  art,  based  on  many  sciences;  whose  thought  is  first  of 
the  service  that  they  can  give — and  only  after  this,  of  its  incidental  rewards. 

As  a  type  of  the  kind  of  man  I  have  in  mind,  let  me  cite  one  whose  memory  you  hold  in 
grateful  esteem  and  whose  friendship  I  held  and  hold  as  one  of  the  honors  and  treasures 
of  my  life.  One  whose  ideals  were  of  the  highest,  yet  who  never  lost  sight  of  practicality. 
One  who  was  willing  to  accept  gradual  progress,  if  the  goal  were  not  attainable  at  a  bound, 
but  who  would  not  yield  a  principle,  deny  a  conviction,  or  compromise  with  an  evil.  One 
who  ranked  high  as  a  master  of  science  and  art — known  and  honored  as  man,  as  teacher,  as 
author,  the  world  over — yet  who  never  condescended ;  meeting,  as  on  equal  ground,  those  who 
had  yet  to  achieve  eminence.  One  who  served  this  College  devotedly  and  well,  leaving  it  as  his 
most  precious  legacy  worthy  successors  of  his  own  training.  Your  minds  have  leaped  to  an- 
ticipate the  name — Joseph  Price  Remington ! 

This  is  the  type  of  pharmacist  your  College  must  produce.  This  is  the  ideal  it  must 
hold  before  its  students.  The  broader  their  preliminary  education,  the  better ;  but  do  not 
set  up  artificial  and  arbitrary  standards.  It  is  not  the  number  of  years  a  man  spends  in 
college,  that  measures  the  extent  of  his  knowledge  or  the  worth  of  his  judgment;  it  is  not 
the  number  of  hours  spent  in  the  laboratory,  that  measures  his  skill  in  devising  or  perform-

ing  instrumental  manipulations.  It  is  indeed  well  for  him  to  know  Greek  and  Latin,  and  to  be 
familiar  with  Shakespeare  and  Dickens ;  but  it  is  imperative  for  him  to  know  physics  and 
chemistry  and  to  be  familiar  with  the  appearance  of  foxglove  and  cinchona.  Make  your 
obligatory  qualifications  high,  but  keep  them  relevant;  and  then  encourage  your  students  to 
enlarge  in  every  way  possible,  their  mental  outlook. 

Your  distinguished  president — whom  not  alone  the  two  professions,  but  the  whole  coun- 
try, honors — realizes  the  need  and  is  pledged  to  meet  it.  He  is  a  man  who  does  things ;  and 
in  this  thing  I  am  happy  to  promise  him  the  sympathy  and  support  of  his  medical  brethren. 

lint  it  may  be  asked,  Why  is  it  necessary  today  to  train  students  in  the  recognition  and 
preparation  of  drugs?  Has  not  medical  science  so  advanced  that  drugs  are  obsolete,  that 
hygiene,  diet,  physical  measures,  psychic  methods,  are  all  that  the  physician  need  employ — 
except  perhaps  the  specific  vaccines  and  serums  and  endocrine  extracts?  Or  if  drugs  are 
occasionally  needed,  are  they  not  supplied  by  manufacturers — so  that  all  that  is  required  of  the 
man  in  the  drugstore,  is  to  fill  the  bottle  or  box  with  the  quantity  prescribed? 

The  answer  is,  first,  that  pharmaceutic  education  is  more  necessary  today  than  ever, 
because  of  the  very  multiplication  of  the  resources  of  medicine.  Xo  longer  are  we  confined 
to  the  mineral,  the  vegetable,  the  animal  worlds  as  they  exist,  but  the  minds  of  chemists 
devise  new  combinations  of  elements,  new  arrangements  of  molecules,  and  give  us  substances 
that  were  not  before  in  being.  But  if  these  synthetic  drugs  are  powerful  for  good,  they 
are  also  potent  for  evil — even  as  the  older  drugs,  such  as  opium  and  alcohol  and  arsenic  are 
powerful  both  for  good  and  for  evil.  The  druggist  who  is  ignorant  of  the  evil  potentialities 
of  substances  like  antipyrin,  phenacetin,  acetanilid,  aspirin  and  the  like,  and  carelessly  hands 
them  out  over  the  counter  to  whomever  may  ask  for  them,  is  doing  a  greater  harm  than  he 
realizes.  These  drugs  have  their  legitimate  uses ;  but  while  quick  to  relieve  certain  kinds  of 
pain  and  to  reduce  temperature,  they  are  likewise  powerful  depressing  agents,  especially  to 
the  cardiac  mechanism.  Altogether  apart  from  the  question  of  home-made,  ready-made,  and 
often  false,  diagnosis,  the  long  continued  use  of  these  synthetic  coal-tar  products  for  "colds," 
for  headaches,  for  so-called  "neuritis"  and  the  other  conditions  in  which  people  have  ac- 
quired the  habit  of  self-medication  with  such  agents,  may  so  weaken  the  heart  that  even 
under  the  strain  of  normal  child  birth,  or  still  more  likely,  in  the  struggle  against  some  in- 
fectious malady  such  as  pneumonia  or  influenza,  death  may  occur  from  heart-failure.  Not 
because  of  any  drug  administered  at  the  time,  and  not  because  of  any  condition  inseparable 
from  either  the  physiological  process  or  the  maladies  mentioned,  does  this  happen ;  but  sim- 
ply because  the  long  continued  weakening  of  the  neuro-muscular  structure  of  the  heart 
brought  about  by  the  habitual  resort  to  coal-tar  products,  renders  it  incapable  of  adequate 
response  to  the  stimulus  of  the  emergency. 

It  is  true  that  the  retail  druggist  is  not  the  only  sinner  in  this  matter.  Advertisements  are 
made  by  manufacturers  of  some  of  these  products  which  lead  the  public  to  believe  that  they 
are  harmless,  and  that  they  are  actual  remedies  for  various  common  ailments;  both  of  which 
assertions  are  untrue.  For  they  do  not  cure,  they  only  give  a  dearly  bought  temporary  relief 
from  migraine  or  other  forms  of  pain  and  distress ;  and  they  do  work  harm,  not  only  by  in- 
creasing the  liability  to  return  of  the  symptoms,  and  not  only  by  inducing  a  drug  habit,  as  bad 
as  any  other  drug  habit,  but  also,  and  importantly,  by  depressing  the  vital  centers.  Let  me 
hope  that  instead  of  dispensing  these  drugs  to  all  comers,  your  alumni — acting  as  scientific 
pharmacists,  members  of  an  honorable  profession,  and  not  as  mere  traders  concerned  only 
with  profits — will  advise  customers  not  to  take  them. 

I  must  reluctantly  admit  that  physicians  also  share  in  whatever  blame  attaches  to  the 
abuse  of  the  synthetic  drugs.  Some  practitioners  prescribe  drugs  of  this  character  altogether 
too  freely.  I  might  justifiably  say— recklessly.  Thus,  in  the  great  pandemics  of  influenza 
during  the  late  80's  of  the  19th  century,  foolish  doctors  resorted  to  antipyrin,  because  it 
smothered  pain  and  reduced  temperature — the  results  being  as  disastrous  as  those  which,  in 
the  recent  pandemic,  followed  the  equally  unscientific  and  unwarranted  resort  to  aspirin  and 
acetphenetidin.  Concerning  antipyrin,  in  a  warning  given  to  my  students  at  the  time,  I  thus 
paraphrased  the  biblical  passage  anent  Saul  and  David:  "Influenza  has  slain  its  thousands, 


318       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

but  antipyrin  its  tens  of  thousands."  A  similarly  emphatic  warning  should  be  given  today 
concerning  the  danger  attending  the  use  of  aspirin — acetylsalicylic  acid — and  similar  com- 
pounds, in  pneumonia,  in  influenza,  in  any  depressing  infection. 

But  to  return  to  the  future  of  the  scientific  pharmacist.  It  may  be  that  a  time  is  coming 
when  pharmacists  will  have  to  be  dietetic  aides,  supplementing  the  deficiencies  of  the  market 
by  supplying  in  measured  proportions  the  vitamines,  salts  and  other  substances  necessary 
to  the  metabolic  balance  of  the  human  organism.  As  to  the  endocrine  extracts  and  serums 
and  bacterins — and  let  us  take  all  these  for  the  good  they  can  really  do  and  forget  the  non- 
sense talked  about  them — it  is  true  that  they  are  now  generally  available  only  because  the 
large  manufacturing  houses  have  made  them  so ;  but  the  staffs  of  these  great  pharmaceutical 
enterprises  are  made  up  of  individual  men  and  women — and  these  men  and  women  are 
trained  biologists,  trained  botanists,  trained  chemists,  trained  pharmacologists,  trained  phar- 
macists. 

Here  let  me  digress  a  moment  to  make  acknowledgment  of  the  great  change  that  has 
come  about  during  my  medical  lifetime  in  the  relations  between  large  scale  manufacturing 
pharmacy  and  the  medical  profession.  In  no  city  is  it  so  well  illustrated  as  in  Philadelphia. 
In  the  World  War,  a  large  part  in  safeguarding  the  welfare  of  our  armies  must  be  attrib- 
uted to  the  tetanus  antitoxin,  the  typhoid  bacterin  and  similar  products  produced  by  a  mem- 
ber of  your  Board  of  Trustees ;  and  back  of  that  lies  the  pioneer  work  of  such  men  as  Dr. 
Joseph  McFarland,  who  was  willing  to  direct  a  commercial  laboratory  when  that  direction 
involved  some  risk  of  misconstruction  by  medical  men ;  and,  in  especial,  the  work  of  another 
of  your  officers,  Dr.  Frank  E.  Stewart,  pharmacist  and  physician,  who  more  than  any  other 
individual  in  either  profession,  has  inspired  manufacturers  to  conform  to  scientific  and  ethical 
standards,  and  helped  to  obtain  from  his  medical  confreres  the  manifestation  of  confidence 
which  that  conformity  deserves  and  has  now  received. 

It  is  true  that  diet  and  physical  measures  and  psychic  methods  are  today  receiving  more 
generally  the  attention  that  should  be  theirs,  and  that  the  real  leaders  of  medicine  have  al- 
ways given  to  them.  But  they  alone  do  not  suffice.  Malaria  cannot  be  cured  by  diet ;  it  de- 
mands quinine.  Not  only  its  cure,  but  its  prevention,  will  require  the  use  of  the  drug,  until 
the  whole  race  of  mosquitoes  of  the  hematozoon-carrying  type  has  been  exterminated.  Decom- 
pensation in  heart  disease  calls  not  only  for  rest  and  regulated  exercise,  but  frequently  for 
digitalis  as  well.  Mercury  and  iodides  and  arsphenamin  cannot  be  replace!  by  homilies  or  ex- 
hortations. Needless  to  multiply  examples — both  kinds  of  preventive  and  remedial  agencies 
have  their  uses;  neither  can  take  the  place  of  the  other. 

But  the  real  importance  of  pharmacy  and  medicine — of  the  healing  arts — is  something 
more  than  I  have  yet  touched  upon.  We  realize  that  they  tend  to  preserve  the  human  race, 
to  increase  its  vigor.  We  must  further  recognize  that  in  so  doing,  they  are  contributing 
their  part  to  the  great  purpose  for  which  man  was  brought  into  being. 

We  confess  our  inability  to  view  the  height,  to  measure  the  breadth,  to  fathom  the  depth 
of  that  purpose ;  and  our  scientific  training  may  have  led  us  to  place  a  new  interpretation  on 
the  ancient  legends,  poems,  speculations,  concerning  the  method  of  creation  and  the  coming  of 
man  upon  earth. 

Yet  no  man  of  science  can  doubt  that  the  world  owes  its  being  and  its  maintenance  to 
Wisdom,  Might,  Beneficence,  Infinite  in  degree,  Unique  in  kind — transcending  man's 
power  to  describe  or  even  to  name.  Chance,  surely,  has  no  place  in  the  scientific  envisage- 
ment.  Chance  is  the  antithesis  of  Order ;  and  Order  is  the  very  foundation  of  scientific 
thought,  as  it  is  of  the  phenomenal  universe  which  that  thought — albeit  so  imperfectly — ap- 
prehends. Man  is  a  part  of  that  order — the  highest  part  that  we  know.  But  if,  as  science 
tells  us,  man  has  come  up  through  a  vast  series  of  material  changes,  from  the  inanimate 
chemical  elements  or  their  constituent  electrons,  to  a  being  who  thinks,  who  seeks,  who  knows, 
who  aspires,  who  is  moved  to  deeds  of  heroism,  of  sacrifice,  of  devotion — shall  anyone  say 
that  he  has  now  reached  the  utmost  limit  of  his  development?  Into  the  dust  of  the  earth,  the 
ancient  record  tells  us,  was  breathed  a  spark  of  the  Divine  Spirit;  and  that  animating  soul, 
carrying  the  body  with  it,  moves  on,  moves  up — with  many  a  failure,  with  many  a  falling 
back — yet  ever  with  a  renewal  of  high  idealism  in  purpose,  of  noble  endeavor  in  action. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       319 

At  no  period  in  the  world's  history  has  it  been  more  necessary  than  now,  with  civilization 
in  peril,  with  society  again  in  the  crucible,  for  all  men  to  realize  that  they  indeed  have  souls, 
and  that  because  of  this,  they  have  duties  to  their  fellows  and  responsibilities  to  their  God. 

Of  all  the  terrible  things  that  characterized  the  World  War,  the  most  disheartening  was 
the  diabolical  prostitution  of  their  knowledge  by  godless  men  of  science.  It  is  ours,  as  part 
of  the  scientific  world,  to  resolve  that  this  shall  not  happen  again;  that  schools  of  science 
shall  teach,  and  that  men  of  science  shall  preach,  the  new-old  doctrine  that  with  every  addi- 
tion of  knowledge,  there  comes  a  more  imperative  obligation  for  the  right  use  thereof;  that 
with  every  step  upon  the  ladder  of  man's  ascent  from  dust  to  spirit,  he  approaches  nearer 
and  nearer  to — and  must  become  more  and  more  worthy  of — his  high  destiny  as  the  Vicegerent 
of  the  Creator  upon  earth.  Many  years  ago,  I  gave  expression  to  that  doctrine,  thus: 

Out  of  the  beast  have  we  risen ;  but  mark,  we  have  risen 

Out  of  the  beast!    Who  goes  out  from  the  darkness,  the  prison, 

Back  turneth  never. 
Out  of  the  beast,  and  out  of  the  law  of  the  beast-kind  forever, 

Mark,  we  have  risen. 

Nature,  through  ages  of  travail,  gave  birth  to  the  human. 
Brute  all  she  bare  before;  now,  on  the  earth,  man  and  woman 

Upstood,  upgazing ! 
Thrilled  and  rejoiced  all  her  worlds  with  the  pang  of  that  wondrous,  upraising, 

Birth  to  the  human. 

Not  all  a  dream  is  the  ladder  whose  top  reaches  heaven ; 

Hid  in  the  deeps  though  its  base,  shall  we  stop,  that  have  given 

Foot  to  toil  highward? 
Stop,  to  gaze  down,  till  made  dizzy  we  fall — while  who  mounts  to  the  skyward 

Top,  reaches  heaven  ? 

Preach  not  alone  what  we  were,  O  ye  wise  men,  but  tell  us 
What  we  may  be,  if  we  will.    Yet  to  ri,se,  show,  impel  us — 

Man  shall  be  angel ! 

Brute  that  was,  man  that  is,  God-like  can  strive — and  be !    This  new  Evangel, 
Wise  men  but  tell  us ! 

Professor  Charles  H.  LaWall  was  the  next  speaker  and  addressed  the  meeting 
as  follows : 

Constructive  Public  Service  in  Pharmacy 

CHARLES  H.  LAWALL,  Pn.M. 
Dean  and  Professor  of  Pharmacy,  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science 

During  the  several  thousand  years  through  which  the  profession  of  pharmacy  may  be 
historically  traced,  it  has  undergone  many  interesting  changes  and  vicissitudes.  Its  evolution 
has  been  irregular  and  in  some  respects  disappointing.  The  reason  for  this  is  found  in  its 
lack  of  uniformity.  It  has  always  been  heterogeneous,  and  its  heterogeneity  has  been  variable. 

The  physician-pharmacist  was  successively  replaced  by  the  alchemist-pharmacist,  the 
grocer-pharmacist,  the  chemist-pharmacist,  and  later  by  the  merchant-pharmacist.  Through 
all  these  metamorphoses  there  has,  however,  remained  a  distinctiveness  of  service  which  has 
been  obscured  at  times,  but  which  in  its  fundamentals  has  retained  one  important  phase 
of  public  contact  and  service — the  preparation  and  sale  of  medicines. 

From  the  most  primitive  beginnings,  in  which  mysticism  and  credulity  prevailed,  and  in 
which  empiricism  held  full  sway,  down  to  the  present  time,  when  a  highly  specialized  tech- 
nical and  scientific  training  is  required  by  the  State  for  the  protection  of  the  public  which 
pharmacy  serves,  the  dominating  purpose  has  been  to  assemble,  identify,  select,  preserve, 
prepare  and  standardize  remedial  substances,  which  in  the  hands  of  the  careless  or  unskilled 
might  prove  detrimental  instead  of  beneficial. 


320       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

The  history  of  this  famous  art  is  a  fascinating  chapter  of  human  progress  and  endeavor. 
It  has  its  roots  in  the  misty  ages  of  the  Orient  and  among  the  races  of  mankind  contributing 
to  its  improvement  were  the  Babylonians,  Egyptians,  Greeks,  Romans  and  Arabians. 

Differing  in  detail  as  to  its  practical  application,  the  landmarks  are  shared  by  its  practi- 
tioners in  all  lands  and  under  various  designations.  Every  civilized  country  has  its  pharma- 
copoeia, the  vadc  mecum  of  the  pharmacist,  and  largely  the  result  of  his  labors  and  researches. 
The  United  States  Pharmacopeia,  now  undergoing  its  tenth  decennial  revision,  is  the  second 
oldest  of  these  national  authorities  (the  Codex  Medicamfiilarius  of  France  being  the  oldest), 
and  in  its  technical  details  is  a  monument  to  American  Pharmacy,  which  has  largely  been 
entrusted  with  its  preparation. 

Pharmaceutical  education  was  inaugurated  in  America  by  the  apothecaries  of  the  City 
of  Brotherly  Love  when  they  founded  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  one  hundred 
years  ago.  Since  that  time  it  has  undergone  many  improvements  and  changes,  as  have  all 
other  fields  of  education,  but  its  progress  has  been  retarded  largely  because  of  the  lack 
of  supporting  legislation  in  many  of  our  States.  After  many  years  of  waiting  we  may  say 
with  confidence  that  pharmacy  is  now  on  the  verge  of  a  great  advance  in  this  respect  and  that 
in  the  next  ten  years  more  progress  will  be  made  than  has  taken  place  in  the  last  half  cen- 
tury. 

There  has  been  no  lack  of  appreciation  of  what  has  been  needed,  but  there  have  been 
certain  forces  to  combat  and  prejudices  to  overcome  and  much  preparatory  work  to  be  done. 
In  this  connection,  credit  must  be  given  to  the  constructive  efforts  of  the  American  Confer- 
ence of  Pharmaceutical  Faculties,  composed  of  representatives  of  over  forty  leading  colleges 
of  pharmacy  of  the  United  States,  which  has  labored  unceasingly  for  twenty  years  for  the 
adoption  of  higher  standards  and  the  elimination  of  schools  operated  for  profit  alone  and 
not  for  service  to  the  community. 

There  has  been  no  failure  on  the  part  of  the  colleges,  meanwhile,  to  educate  the  stu- 
dents to  properly  qualify  under  the  State  registration  laws.  The  shortcomings  have  been 
in  not  recognizing  the  necessity  of  a  broader  cultural  education  to  accompany  the  scientific 
and  technical  training.  The  pharmacist  of  a  decade  hence  will  be  on  a  par  as  regards  his 
preliminary  education  and  cultural  training,  with  the  members  of  other  learned  professions 
and  insensibly  and  automatically  many  of  the  inconsistencies  and  evils  of  the  present  practice 
will  disappear  for  all  time. 

More  and  more  pharmacists  each  year  are  fitting  themselves  for  wider  public  service 
by  taking  special  courses  in  bacteriology,  clinical  chemistry,  technical  analysis  and  sanitation, 
and  are  becoming  valuable  aids  in  public  health  work  and  analysts  and  experts  in  their  re- 
spective communities.  The  stimulation  in  this  direction  has  been  especially  noticeable  since 
the  close  of  the  war,  for  it  was  during  that  period  that  many  came  to  realize  the  value  of 
scientific  training  and  the  opportunities  which  are  open  to  one  who  qualifies  along  such 
cognate  lines  of  study. 

The  interdependence  of  pharmacy  and  medicine  was  never  more  in  evidence  than  at 
present,  for  with  the  introduction  of  biological  preparations,  including  sera  and  vaccines,  and 
the  discovery  of  new  methods  of  preparing  and  standardizing  long  used  drugs,  the  physician 
is  more  than  ever  compelled  to  rely  upon  pharmacy  for  distinctive  and  important  scientific 
assistance.  Pharmacy  and  medicine  have  common  battles  to  fight  in  combating  the  manu- 
facture and  sale  of  worthless  nostrums,  and  in  educating  the  public  along  correct  scientific 
lines  of  hygiene  and  health  conservation. 

They  are  co-sharers,  under  the  law,  of  certain  compelling  responsibilities  which  have 
to  do  with  the  control,  regulation  and  distribution  of  drugs  which  are  known  to  be  habit- 
forming,  and  of  alcoholic  preparations.  It  is  a  gratifying  fact  that  the  large  majority  of 
the  members  of  both  professions  are  true  to  their  trust  and  worthy  of  the  confidence  reposed 
in  them. 

The  opportunities  for  advancement,  therefore,  on  the  part  of  a  great  institution  like  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science,  which  serves  pharmacy  primarily  and  medi- 
cine indirectly,  are  convincing  in  their  evident  necessity.  Among  the  more  important  phases 
of  this  advanced  work  are  the  following: 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       321 

1.  The  conducting  of  popular  scientific  lecture  courses,  in  which  the  public  shall  not  only 
be  given  correct  concepts  of  the  scientific  facts  of  importance  in  connection  with  pharmacy 
and  the  allied  sciences,  but  the  combating  of  error  and  superstition,  which  will  also  be  an 
important  part  of  this  constructive  work. 

2.  The  development  of  research  service  to  the  medical  profession.     Medicine  is  already 
indebted  to  pharmacy   for  much  constructive  help  in  the  scientific  preparation  of  effective 
remedial  agents  and  their  standardization,  thus  allowing  uniform  results  to  be  obtained  under 
specific  conditions.     Xone  but  physicians  and  pharmacists  realize  how  much  of  this  work  yet 
remains  to  be  done.     The  lack  of  constructive,  co-operative  work  in  this  direction  has  been 
productive  of  much  of  the  therapeutic  nihilism  of  the  recent  past. 

3.  The  institution  of  research  departments  which  shall  aid  the  manufacturing  interests 
allied  to  pharmacy.     While  a  number  of  the  larger  pharmaceutical  manufacturing  establish- 
ments have  well-equipped  and  efficient  research  departments,  there  are  hundreds  now  with- 
out such  service.    It  is  to  supply  this  evident  need  and  to  supplement  existing  work  that  such 
departments  are  to  be  instituted  and  maintained. 

4.  The  founding  of  laboratories  for  the  express  purpose  of  serving  the  City  and  State 
in  an  impartial  solution  of  problems  such  as  the  quality  of  supplies,  the  wholesomeness  and 
purity  of  foods,  the  purity  of  drugs  and  chemicals,  and  other  scientific  questions  affecting  the 
public  welfare. 

These  proposed  benefits  are  self-evident.  It  is  of  tremendous  value  to  any  community 
to  have  available  a  corps  of  scientific  workers  capable  of  helping  to  solve  routine  problems. 
Such  an  organization  in  times  of  stress  and  emergency,  as  of  war  or  epidemic,  might  be  in- 
valuable as  an  insurance  against  calamity  due  to  lack  of  scientific  preparation. 

5.  The  development  of  pure  scientific  research.     The  lessons  taught  during  the  World 
War,  as  regards  the  value  of  pure  science,  were  tremendously  convincing.     Pure  science  is 
only  relative.     The  pure  science  of  today  becomes  the  applied  science  of  tomorrow,  and  the 
nation   that   falls  behind  in  pure  scientific   research  will  surely  perish,  if  there  ever  comes 
another  world  war,  which  God  forbid. 

6.  The  development  of  a  public  museum  of  drug  and  chemical  products  and  pharma- 
ceutical and  chemical  manufacturers,  which  will  be  distinctive  for  its  breadth  and  modernity, 
as  well  as  unique  in  its  exhibits  of  historic  value,  for  the  College  collections  are  especially 
rich  in  illustrative  material  of  this  kind,  which  now  lack  space  for  exhibition.     With  our 
present  collection  as  a  nucleus,  adequately  housed  and  under  efficient  full-time  curatorship, 
such  a  museum  could  be  made  the  Mecca  for  scientific  workers  in  our  particular  field,  as 
some  of  our  exhibits  are  very  complete  and  are  now  frequently  consulted  by  those  searching 
for  type  specimens,  or  those  illustrative  of  a  certain  period. 

7.  The  creation  of  a  botanical  garden  particularly  devoted  to  plants  of  medicinal  and 
economic  importance,  in  order  to  stimulate  and  develop  our  national  resources  along  new 
lines  and  to  supply  material  for  medical,  chemical  and  pharmaceutical  research. 

8.  The  proper  housing  of  our  present  library  of  upwards  of  twenty  thousand  volumes 
of   scientific  works,   frequently  consulted  by  scientists   from  afar  on   account  of  the  rarity 
of  some  of  its  volumes. 

In  partial  furtherance  of  these  laudable  ambitions  there  has  been  planned  a  series  of 
courses  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science  in  Pharmacy,  in  Chemistry,  in  Bacteriol- 
ogy and  in  Pharmacognosy.  These  courses  have  been  outlined  and  curricula  prepared  under 
the  approval  of  the  Pennsylvania  Department  of  Education,  so  that  there  is  a  proper  balance 
of  cultural  and  technical  subjects,  making  them  equal  in  this  respect  to  the  Bachelor  courses 
of  any  college  of  arts  and  sciences. 

These  courses  will  be  inaugurated  at  the  beginning  of  the  next  scholastic  year  and  have 
been  especially  planned  so  as  to  cover  the  subjects  required  for  entrance  to  the  study  of 
medicine.  It  is  believed  that  they  will  be  particularly  acceptable  to  medical  colleges  as  pre- 
medical  courses,  for  what  better  preparation  for  medicine  could  there  be  than  a  four-year 
course  based  upon  one  of  these  scientific  branches?

A  course  of  fifteen  popular  lectures  upon  scientific  subjects,  to  be  given  by  members  of 
the  Faculty  of  the  College,  has  also  been  planned  for  the  next  College  year.  These  include 
a  great  variety  of  timely  topics  and  will  doubtless  be  well  attended  and  much  appreciated. 

With  such  a  program  of  disinterested  and  constructive  public  service,  we  feel  that  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science  is  entitled  to  the  support  and  approval  of  the 
profession  which  it  represents  and  the  community  which  it  serves,  and  that  the  close  of  its 
second  century  will  find  it  in  the  front  rank  of  institutions  venerated  for  their  history  and 
acclaimed  for  their  achievements  and  the  excellence  of  their  work. 

When  we  pause  to  survey  the  new  vista  and  see  the  wider  horizon,  we  feel  that  the 
measure  of  our  opportunities  is  well  expressed  by  Rosetti : 

"Nay,  come  up  hither,  from  this  wave-washed  mound  unto  the  furthest  flood  brim  look 
with  me.  Then  reach  on  with  thy  thought  'till  it  be  drowned ;  miles  and  miles  further  though 
the  last  line  be,  and  though  thy  soul  sails  leagues  and  leagues  beyond,  still  leagues  beyond 
those  leagues  there  is  more  sea." 

As  the  exercises  of  the  morning  came  to  a  close  the  "old  grads,''  gathered  to- 
gether in  their  classes  under  banners,  with  now  and  then  a  class  yell  or  a  class  song, 
and  sat  down  to  luncheon.  There  were  no  speeches,  only  informal  intercourse  and 
a  renewal  of  old  acquaintance.  It  is  believed  that  upwards  of  one  thousand  were 
present,  some  of  them  coming  from  places  as  far  away  as  the  Pacific  coast.  The 
events  were  also  participated  in  by  the  more  than  two  hundred  members  of  the 
graduating  class.  The  celebration  culminated  in  the  evening  with  the  Centennial 
Banquet  and  Reception  to  President  Braisted. 

Centennial  Reception  and  Banquet 

Again  the  Bellevue-Stratford  was  the  gathering  place.  The  reception  to 
President  Braisted  was  held  in  the  Clover  Room.  The  alumni  were  arranged  in 
class  groups.  After  all  had  met  President  Braisted,  and  had  taken  him  by  the  hand, 
the  column,  formed  in  order  of  age,  and  headed  by  Samuel  Garhard  of  the  class 
of  1854,  the  oldest  graduate  present,  entered  the  ballroom  which  was  set  with  tables 
for  the  dinner.  "Age  is  opportunity  no  less  than  youth  itself,  though  in  another 
dress,"  was  the  appropriate  "Centennial  Theme."  Portraits  of  sixteen  professors 
who  had  served  the  College  during  its  first  century  were  reproduced  upon  the  pro- 
gram of  toasts  and  the  menu,  "in  tribute  to  their  memory" — Jackson,  Troost, 
Wood,  Ellis,  Bache,  Griffith,  Carson,  Fisher,  Bridges,  Robert  P.  Thomas,  Parrish, 
Procter,  Maisch,  Bastin,  Trimble  and  Remington. 

Dean  Charles  H.  LaWall  was  the  toastmaster  and  called  upon  the  new  Presi- 
dent— Rear-Admiral  William  C.  Braisted,  as  the  guest  of  honor.  President 
Braisted  said : 

"A  pharmacist  should  employ  much  of  his  time  in  research  work,  so  that  he  may  fit  in 
with  the  general  advance  in  dignity  and  importance  that  is  coming  to  pharmacy.  Each  man 
should  have  in  the  back  of  his  drug  store  a  laboratory  where  he  could  devote  hours  to  ex- 
perimentation and  research,  where  he  could  test  the  purity  of  water  and  of  milk,  where  he 
could  be  of  assistance  to  the  community  doctor,  and  make  himself  a  valuable  aid  to  the 
public.  This  work  would  be  useful  in  large  cities,  and  it  would  be  invaluable  in  small  cen- 
ters of  population,  where  at  present  there  are  no  laboratories.  It  would  be  a  big  step  toward 
the  coming  co-operation  of  medicine  and  pharmacy. 

"My  whole  effort  will  be  devoted  toward  making  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
and  Science  a  larger  and  better  institution.  I  want  to  help  to  bring  about  the  co-operation 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       323 

between  medicine  and  pharmacy.  I  wish,  by  means  of  this  fine  institution,  to  produce  the 
super-pharmacist  of  the  future. 

"We  are  going  to  start  next  fall  with  an  increased  personnel  and  enlarged  facilities.  We 
must  stay  in  our  old  building  at  145  North  Tenth  Street  for  three  or  four  years  more,  and 
this  summer  it  will  be  renovated  and  improved  in  many  ways.  But  the  plan  to  secure  funds 
with  which  to  construct  a  new  building  has  not  been  abandoned ;  it  has  been  merely  post- 
poned. 

"There  are  men  now  looking  for  a  site  in  this  city,  and  I  am  sure  that  they  are  going  to 
find  an  extremely  good  one.  I  hope  that  when  we  do  decide  to  locate  at  a  certain  place,  the 
site  will  be  given  to  us  by  the  citizens  of  Philadelphia  in  recognition  of  one  of  its  oldest  and 
most  famous  educational  institutions.  I  am  also  sure  that  there  are  at  least  one  or  two 
wealthy  men  here  who  will  come  to  our  aid ;  there  is  no  doubt  in  my  mind  that  we  will  get 
all  of  the  money  that  we  need." 

Following  the  President,  Joseph  W.  England,  Vice-Chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  spoke  as  follows : 

High-Lights  in  the  History  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

JOSEPH  W.  ENGLAND,  PH.M. 
Vice-Chairman  of  Board  of  Trustees,  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science 

The  history  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy — the  first  college  of  pharmacy  in 
the  Xew  World — covers  practically  the  history  of  pharmaceutical  education  in  this  country. 
From  the  time  of  its  institution  as  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Apothecaries  in  1821,  and  its 
incorporation  as  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1822,  it  has  exerted  a  potent 
influence  in  developing  pharmaceutical  education,  initiating  many  of  its  most  forward  steps, 
while  indirectly,  through  the  daily  work  of  its  thousands  of  graduates,  it  has  rendered  a 
nation-wide  service  for  the  relief  of  human  suffering  and  the  conservation  of  public  health. 

The  College  was  founded  by  sixty-eight  druggists  and  apothecaries  of  the  City  and 
Liberties  of  Philadelphia  on  February  23,  1821,  the  result  being  crystallized  by  the  decision 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  on  February  6,  1821,  to  insti- 
tute a  course  of  instruction  for  students  in  pharmacy  leading  to  the  degree  of  master  of 
pharmacy,  which  decision,  however  distasteful  to  the  druggists  and  apothecaries,  had  a  cer- 
tain ground  of  reasonableness,  and  aroused  their  dormant  pride  and  self-respect,  compelling 
them  to  take  action  for  the  protection  and  advancement  of  their  profession ;  and  I  am  told 
by  Dr.  Edgar  Fahs  Smith,  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  that  "the  University-pharmacy- 
course  was  never  given" — which  is  to  the  everlasting  credit  of  that  great  institution — although 
on  April  5,  1821,  the  University  did,  indeed,  proceed  so  far  as  to  confer  the  honorary  degree 
of  master  of  pharmacy  upon  sixteen  apothecaries  of  Philadelphia,  the  first  granting  of  a  phar- 
maceutical degree  in  this  country. 

The  College  was  founded  in  historic  Carpenters'  Hall,  a  building  occupied  in  1774  by  the 
Provincial  Assembly  which  recommended  a  general  Congress  of  all  the  American  Colonies, 
which  Congress  also  met  in  this  hall,  and  within  it  inaugurated  those  measures  which  led  to 
the  Declaration  of  Independence,  and  terminated  so  favorably  for  civil  liberty  in  America 
and  throughout  the  world ;  and  so,  within  this  hall  the  "sixty-eight  druggists  and  apothe- 
caries" met  and  wrote  a  new  declaration  of  independence:  That  pharmaceutical  education 
shall  be  of  pharmacists,  by  pharmacists  and  for  the  public  welfare. 

Prior  to  1821,  "in  this  new  country  with  its  sparse  population  and  vast  territorial  extent — 
its  few  small  but  growing  cities  scattered  along  the  seaboard — the  occasion  had  scarcely  arisen 
to  put  into  practice  the  obvious  educational  means  fitted  to  meet  these  requirements ;  but 
now  the  time  had  evidently  come.  Every  intelligent  druggist  and  apothecary  felt  that  the 
instruction  which  might  be  suitable  for  the  student  preparing  himself  for  the  duties  of  the 
physician  would  be  only  partially  fitted  for  one  who  was  to  assume  the  widely  different  re- 
sponsibilities of  the  drug  store  and  dispensary."  (Historical  Memoirs  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy,  Edward  Parrish,  Amer.  Journ.  Pharm.,  1869,  97.)

1902  was  secretary  of  section  on  scientific  papers;  in  1905  and  1906  was  secretary  of 
section  on  education  and  legislation,  and  in  1907  and  1908  chairman  of  the  same. 
Was  secretary  of  the  Council  of  the  Association  from  1909-1920.  Acting-editor  of 
"Bulletin  of  American  Pharmaceutical  Association"  in  1910  and  1911,  or  until  the  "Bulletin" 
gave  place  to  the  "Journal  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,"  for  the  founding  of 
which  latter  he  was  largely  responsible.  In  1911  was  made  chairman  of  the  committee  on 
publication  of  the  Association,  which  published  the  "Journal"  of  the  Association,  its  "Year 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       325 

Book,"  and  its  "National  Formulary,''  resigning  in  1920.  Was  a  member  of  the  Committee

of  the  Philadelphia  Drug  Exchange  in  1912.  Was  president  of  Philadelphia  Branch,  Amer- 
ican Pharmaceutical  Association  (1921-1922).  Elected  vice-chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  the  College  in  1921.  His  researches  cover  a  wide  field  in  pharmaceutical  science  and 
he  has  been  a  contributor  of  several  hundred  original  articles  to  pharmaceutical  organizations 
and  periodicals.  He  is  a  thirty-second  degree  Mason,  being  a  member  of  University  Lodge, 
No.  610,  F.  and  A.  M.,  University  Chapter,  No.  256,  R.  A.  M.,  Mary  Commandery,  Xo.  36, 
K.  T.,  and  Philadelphia  Consistory,  S.  P.  R.  S. 

Furthermore,  the  founders  of  the  College  realized  that  their  responsibilities  were  not 
only  to  provide  pharmaceutical  education,  but  also  to  protect  the  public  against  the  adultera- 
tion and  misbranding  of  drugs;  thus,  at  the  second  meeting  of  the  College  (March  13,  1821), 
a  committee  appointed  at  the  first  meeting  reported  that  abuses  had  crept  into  the  drug  and 
apothecary  business;  instances  had  occurred  of  deteriorated  drugs  being  introduced  into  the 
shops  and  valuable  remedies  in  daily  use  being  adulterated  and  sold  of  inferior  quality  and 
that  such  abuses  were  attributable  in  part  "to  want  of  proper  pharmacological  information  on 
the  part  of  some  druggists  and  apothecaries  who  vend  and  of  physicians  who  buy,"  and  it 
was  recommended,  with  the  establishment  of  the  College,  that  its  "attention  be  constantly 
directed  to  the  quality  of  articles  brought  into  the  drug  market,  subjects  relating  to  the  busi- 
ness and  its  objects  be  discussed,  and  information  beneficial  and  instructive  to  the  trade  com- 
municated." 

It  is  of  interest  to  note  that  "the  first  years  of  the  College  were  marked  by  great  activity. 
Committees  of  inspection  were  appointed  to  examine  drugs  introduced  into  the  market,  and 
to  expose  adulteration  and  sophistication.  Latin  labels  were  printed,  carefully  adapted  to  the 
official  standard  of  nomenclature.  Formulas  were  published  for  the  old  English  remedies 
called  'patent  medicines,'  then  very  extensively  sold,  with  a  view  to  greater  uniformity  in 
their  composition  and  properties ;  and  the  absurdly-worded  wrappers  in  which  these  were 
enveloped,  giving  false  or  exaggerated  accounts  of  their  virtues,  were  measurably  superseded 
by  more  sensible  and  truthful  'directions.'  Meanwhile,  a  library  was  being  formed,  a  cabinet 
of  specimens  collected,  and  the  various  improvements  in  chemistry  and  pharmacy  suggested 
from  time  to  time  were  investigated  and  reported  upon"  (Edward  Parrish). 

In  this  way  the  College  sought  to  prevent  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  adulterated  or 
misbranded  or  deleterious  drugs  and  medicines,  thereby  anticipating  in  a  sense  the  enactment 
of  the  Federal  Food  and  Drugs  Act  of  nearly  one  hundred  years  later,  but  the  influence  of 
the  College  was  wholly  educational  and  moral,  and  no  adequate  protection  was  given  to  the 
public  until  the  enactment  of  the  Federal  Food  and  Drugs  Act  of  1906,  one  of  the  most 
righteous  laws  ever  passed  by  the  United  States  Congress. 

And  the  work  so  auspiciously  begun  by  the  College  one  hundred  years  ago  has  been 
continued  through  the  century  with  ever-increasing  vigor  and  efficiency. 

The  College  has  achieved  its  unusual  success  as  an  educational  institution  because  it  has 
been  built  upon  the  bed-rock  of  character.  The  sixty-eight  men  who  instituted  the  College 
were  mostly  members  of  the  Religious  Society  of  Friends,  commonly  called  Quakers,  who 
believed  in  the  homely  virtues  of  modesty,  thrift  and  wisdom,  and  love  of  peace  and  simple 
honor,  and  practiced  these;  men  of  plain  living  and  high  thinking,  men  of  strong  and  positive 
opinions,  and  men  of  practicality,  thoroughness  and  love  of  humanity. 

And  it  was  this  love  of  humanity,  doubtless,  that  inspired  their  love  of  education.  As 
William  Penn,  the  founder  of  Pennsylvania,  wrote:  "Friends  consider  education  as  a  right 
and  a  privilege,  to  the  end  that  the  poor  as  well  as  the  rich  may  be  instructed  in  good  and 
commendable  learning,  which  is  to  be  preferred  before  wealth."  The  aim  of  the  Quaker 
founders  of  the  College — and  their  influence  persists  to  this  day — was  to  give  to  the  youth 
of  the  land  the  most  practical  and  thorough  collegiate  pharmaceutical  education  at  the  lowest 
possible  cost.  The  intent  was  not  to  build  up  a  money-making  institution,  but  to  train  men 
and  women  in  pharmacy,  and  the  original  charter  contained  the  provision  (later  eliminated) 
that  the  annual  income  of  the  College  from  all  real  and  personal  estate  should  not  exceed  five 


326       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

thousand  dollars.  And  who  shall  say  that  there  is  not  wisdom  and  truth  in  this  Quaker 
philosophy  of  simplicity  and  thrift  in  education ;  because,  it  is  not  bricks  and  mortar  that 
make  an  educational  institution  great — it  is  the  brains  within  the  bricks  and  mortar — the 
brains  of  earnest,  able  and  devoted  teachers  reacting  with  the  brains  of  youth,  eager  to  learn, 
to  think  and  to  do ! 

During  the  first  fifty  years  (1821-71)  the  instruction  of  the  College  was  in  materia  medica, 
pharmacy  and  chemistry,  and  in  the  last  four  years  of  that  period,  in  botany,  also ;  and  it  was 
wholly  didactic. 

In  1846  an  epoch-making  advance  was  made,  when  pharmacy  was  recognized  as  a  dis- 
tinct branch  by  the  establishment  of  the  chair  of  theory  and  practice  of  pharmacy,  and  the 
chair  of  pharmaceutical  and  general  chemistry  was  changed  to  chemistry.  In  1867,  the  chair 
of  materia  medica  was  changed  to  materia  medica  and  botany,  and  field  work  in  botany  was 
begun. 

During  the  past  fifty  years  (1871-1921)  many  additions  to  the  curriculum  have  been 
made,  such  as  analytical  chemistry,  practical  or  operative  pharmacy,  pharmaceutical  chem- 
istry, commercial  pharmacy,  pharmaceutical  jurisprudence,  chemical  control  in  manufacturing 
pharmacy,  scientific  research,  bacteriology  and  hygiene,  Latin  and  pharmaceutical  arithmetic, 
as  well  as  special  courses  in  technical  chemistry,  applied  bacteriology,  technical  microscopy, 
physiologic  assaying,  clinical  chemistry,  advanced  pharmacognosy,  and  perfumery,  and  the 
post-graduate  courses  leading  to  the  degrees  of  bachelor  of  science  in  pharmacy,  chemistry, 
pharmacognosy  and  bacteriology. 

In  1897  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and  botany  was  divided  into  materia  medica,  includ- 
ing physiology,  and  into  botany,  including  pharmacognosy. 

When  the  College  moved  to  its  present  site  in  1868,  it  had  three  instructors ;  today  it  has 
twenty-three,  then  146  students,  today  more  than  600;  then,  no  women  students,  today  fifty; 
then,  no  laboratories,  today  six ;  then,  no  post-graduate  courses,  now  four  leading  to  degrees. 

In  1920,  in  order  to  expand  its  courses  of  instruction,  the  charter  was  amended  and  the 
title  changed  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science. 

It  is  impossible  at  this  time  to  more  than  briefly  mention  the  teachers  of  the  past,  but 
during  the  first  twenty-five  years  those  who  deserve  especial  mention  are  Samuel  Jackson, 
George  B.  Wood,  Joseph  Carson  and  Franklin  Bache,  all  of  whom  exercised  potential  influ- 
ence during  this  formative  period  of  American  Pharmacy. 

During  the  next  fifty  years  the  list  embraced  such  widely  known  authorities  in  pharmacy 
as  Robert  Bridges  (1842-79)  whose  lovable  character  and  long  years  of  unselfish  devotion  to 
the  College  has  enshrined  him  in  the  hearts  of  all;  Edward  Parrish  (1864-72),  an  exceed- 
ingly able  and  inspirational  teacher,  and  the  author  of  the  first  distinctively  American  text- 
book on  the  practice  of  pharmacy;  John  Michael  Maisch  (1866-93),  whose  constructive  work 
for  the  upbuilding  of  pharmaceutical  botany,  materia  medica  and  plant-chemistry  will  last  as 
long  as  the  name  of  pharmacy  endures;  and  William  Procter,  Jr.  (1846-66,  1872-74),  whose 
researches  in  pharmacy  gave  a  wonderful  impetus  to  the  growth  and  development  of  American 
pharmacy,  made  it  known  the  world  over,  and  won  for  himself  the  name  of  "The  Father 
of  American  Pharmacy." 

And  William  Procter,  Jr.,  was  succeeded  by  one  who  lived  in  our  own  time — the  "noblest 
Roman  of  them  all,"  one  who  as  pharmacist,  teacher,  educator,  author  and  executive — espe- 
cially as  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Revision  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  for  two  suc- 
cessive decades — was  the  outstanding  figure  of  American  pharmacy  in  his  day,  the  teacher 
of  teachers,  and  the  genial  warm-hearted,  inspiring  friend  of  us  all — Joseph  Price  Reming- 
ton. "And  we  ne'er  shall  look  upon  his  like  again." 

And  then  there  was  one  who  stood  next  to  Remington,  who  was  most  largely  instrumental 
in  making  the  course  of  commercial  training  of  the  College  (established  in  1899),  the  first 
of  its  kind  in  the  country,  so  successful,  who  became  one  of  the  foremost  figures  in  American 
industrial  pharmacy,  and  who  loved  his  Alma  Mater  and  never  forgot  her,  even  unto  death — 
Frank  Gibbs  Ryan. 

Motives  of  delicacy  preclude  my  saying  much  of  those  who  are  still  living,  honored  repre- 
sentatives who  have  done  yeoman  service  in  the  upbuilding  of  our  institution,  but  the  present 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       327 

sketch  would  be  most  incomplete  did  I  not  refer  to  one  who  has  borne  the  heat  and  burden 
of  the  day  for  the  past  forty-three  years  as  a  teacher  in  our  institution,  one  who  has  won 
national  and  international  renown  as  a  master-mind  in  pharmaceutical  and  industrial  chem- 
istry— our  own,  our  honored,  and  our  loved  Samuel  Philip  Sadtler. 

Quizzing  was  early  instituted  at  the  College  and  was  conducted  first  by  the  professors 
themselves,  and  in  the  late  70's,  by  quiz-masters  approved  by  the  Committee  on  Instruction. 
In  1880,  quizzes  were  authorized  by  the  Alumni  Association,  and  this  constitutes  the  corner- 
stone of  the  system  of  quizzing  reviews.  Later  (1886)  these  were  combined  with  the  College 
reviews  and  made  compulsory  (1895),  the  College  assuming  full  charge. 

In  1821,  the  conditions  of  the  practice  of  pharmacy  were  primitive.  As  Edward  Parrish 
(American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  1871,  481)  stated,  in  1871,  in  an  introductory  lecture  to  the 
fiftieth  course  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy: 

"Fifty  years  ago  when  the  College  was  established,  almost  every  considerable  drug  store 
had  something  like  a  laboratory  attached,  where  some  of  the  few  chemicals  then  in  use  and 
all  the  galenical  preparations  were  made,  and  where  nearly  all  the  crude  drugs  were  assorted, 
garbled  and  packed.  The  apprentices  then  enjoyed  a  wholesome  development  of  muscle 
through  wielding  the  ponderous  pestle,  handling  the  sieves  and  working  the  screw-press. 
He  learned  how  to  make  pills  by  the  wholesale,  to  prepare  great  jars  of  extracts  and  cerates, 
to  bottle  castor  oil,  Turlington's  Balsam  and  opodeldoc  by  the  gross,  and  what  he  lacked 
in  the  number  and  variety  of  articles  he  dealt  in,  was  made  up  by  a  greater  extent  of  his 
operations  and  the  completeness  with  which,  in  a  single  establishment,  all  the  then-known 
processes  were  practiced.  Very  many  physicians  then  dispensed  their  own  prescriptions, 
drawing  the  supplies  from  the  druggists,  but  gradually  the  separate  prescription  counter  was 
added  to  the  drug  stores,  and  the  dispensing  stores,  as  we  now  call  them,  became  numerous, 
and  the  wholesale  druggists  gradually  ceased  to  supply  the  public  directly." 

Our  Quaker  forbears  realized  that  pharmacy  was  both  an  art  and  a  science,  and  to  be  a 
master  of  the  craft  the  pharmaceutical  student  must  have  practical  instruction  as  well  as 
theoretical,  and  from  the  first  they  required  that  the  candidate  for  graduation  from  the 
College  shall  have  a  "practical  experience  of  at  least  four  years  with  a  person  or  persons  en- 
gaged in  and  qualified  to  conduct  the  drug  business."  Thus  vocational  training  was  first 
established  in  pharmacy  as  a  prerequisite  for  graduation. 

About  the  time  of  the  Civil  War,  a  radical  change  took  place  in  the  retail  drug  business. 
The  manufacturing  of  drugs  and  chemicals  were  taken  over  by  manufacturing  houses,  more 
and  more,  the  old  apprenticeship  custom  of  legally  indenturing  youths  to  learn  "the  drug  and 
apothecary  business"  rapidly  fell  into  disuse  and  the  character  of  practical  experience  in  the 
retail  drug  store  changed,  becoming  less  and  less  adequate,  so  far  as  manufacturing  was  con- 
cerned ;  although  the  underlying  principle  of  drug  store  experience,  with  its  familiarity  with 
work-a-day  technique,  continued  fundamentally  sound.  Hence,  it  became  evident,  that  the 
College  should  give  laboratory  instruction ;  but  the  means  of  the  College  were  limited,  and 
it  could  not  see  its  way  clear,  at  this  time,  to  give  such  instruction,  especially  as  it  was  con- 
templating the  erection  of  new  buildings  in  the  near  future. 

Next  to  its  teachers,  the  biggest  asset  of  a  College  is  its  alumni,  directly  and  indirectly — 
directly  in  exemplifying  its  teaching  and  indirectly  by  its  work  for  the  Alma  Mater;  and  no 
college  in  any  land  has  more  earnest,  loyal  and  enthusiastic  alumni  than  has  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy,  including  those  of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College  merged  with  our 
College  in  1916,  and  who,  in  season  and  out  of  season,  are  voicing  their  praises  of  its  work 
and  worth ;  and  that  their  words  are  not  idle  words,  is  shown  by  the  fact  that  probably  85 
per  cent  of  the  matriculants  of  the  College  come  through  the  influence  of  its  alumni. 

As  Richard  M.  Shoemaker,  fifty-nine  years  a  graduate  of  this  College  and  the  first  treas- 
urer of  the  Alumni  Association  (1864),  and  beloved  by  all,  writes  me:  "The  Alumni  Asso- 
ciation of  the  College  always  has  been  and  is  the  backbone  of  all  the  energies  for  the  ad- 
vancement of  the  institution." 

And  we  cannot  mention  the  Alumni  Association  without  mentioning  Edward  C.  Jones, 
'64,  who  with  his  classmate,  Albert  E.  Ebert,  '64,  founded  the  Alumni  Association,  and  worked 
indefatigably  for  the  College  and  its  students.  The  vessel  of  clay  that  held  his  soul  may 
have  failed  perhaps  to  reflect  its  beauty,  but  his  personality  had  a  charm  that  endeared  him 
to  all ;  and  the  good  he  did  lives  after  him. 


328       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

And  then  there  was  Thomas  S.  Wiegand  (1825-1909)  typical  of  the  old  school  Philadel- 
phia druggist  of  the  last  century,  who  sought  by  precept  and  practice  to  establish  pharmacy 
in  this  country  on  a  scientific  and  professional  basis;  he  was  elected  President  of  the  Alumni 
Association  in  1865,  and  re-elected  for  six  consecutive  terms,  and  was  Actuary  of  the  Col- 
lege for  twenty-two  years  (1887-1909),  and  as  the  "Students'  Friend'"  was  ever  "their  very 
present  help  in  time  of  trouble.''  Many  of  the  alumni  will  recall  how  much  they  owe  to  the 
wise  counsel  of  that  dear  spirit  of  college  days  whom  they  lovingly  and  with  all  respect  called 
"Uncle  Tommy." 

In  1865  the  Alumni  Association  began  a  movement  for  the  raising  of  funds  for  the 
equipment  of  a  pharmaceutical  and  chemical  laboratory;  by  1867  the  subscriptions  had 
amounted  to  nearly  $5,000,  and  in  1870  it  established  a  laboratory  for  instruction  in  practical 
pharmacy  and  chemistry  in  charge  of  Prof.  John  M.  Maisch,  the  first  of  its  kind  in  America. 
In  1872  the  laboratory  was  turned  over  to  the  College  by  the  Alumni  Association.  In  1876 
its  two  divisions  of  work  were  partially  segregated,  Prof.  Remington  giving  a  course  in 
pharmaceutical  manipulations,  and  in  1878  he  assumed  full  charge  of  the  pharmaceutical 
laboratory  (or  laboratory  of  operative  pharmacy),  while  Prof.  Maisch  confined  his  instruc- 
tion to  the  chemical  laboratory.  In  1903  an  optional  course  in  dispensing  was  inaugurated, 
and  the  following  year  it  became  a  part  of  the  regular  course. 

In  the  chemical  laboratory,  Prof.  Maisch  was  succeeded  as  director  by  Frederick  Field- 
ing Power  (1881-83),  whose  famous  research  work,  later,  in  phytochemistry  in  the  Wellcome 
Research  Laboratory  of  London  is  known  to  all,  and  he  by  Henry  Trimble  (1883-98),  whose 
research  work  on  the  tannins  is  classic. 

The  microscopical  laboratory  was  originated  also  by  the  Alumni  Association,  commenc- 
ing with  1882-83,  the  Association  controlling  the  instruction  in  this  department  until  1894, 
when  the  College  assumed  charge  of  it  as  the  botanical  and  microscopical  laboratory. 

In  1899  optional  laboratory  courses  were  established  in  bacteriology,  the  study  of  pow- 
dered foods  and  drugs,  fungi  and  fungous  diseases,  morphology  and  physiology,  and  system- 
atic botany,  and  in  1913  bacteriological  laboratory  work  became  a  part  of  the  regular  course. 

With  the  enactment  of  the  Federal  Food  and  Drugs  Act  of  1906,  it  became  apparent  that 
skilled  food  and  drug  technicians  would  be  necessary  to  ensure  the  proper  enforcement  of  the 
law,  and  in  1907  the  College  secured,  largely  through  the  personal  solicitations  of  the  late 
Mahlon  N.  Kline  and  Joseph  P.  Remington,  contributions  of  some  thousands  of  dollars  with 
which  it  was  enabled  to  erect  a  food  and  drug  laboratory  building  and  inaugurate  a  course 
in  food  and  drug  analysis. 

Equal  in  importance  to  pharmaceutical  education  is  pharmaceutical  research,  because 
pharmaceutical  practice  is,  in  effect,  applied  education,  and  education  is  applied  research ;  and 
upon  the  bases  of  research,  education  and  practice  rest  the  science  and  art  of  pharmacy. 

Our  Quaker  forbears  recognized  the  vital  importance  of  systematized  research  and  in  1825, 
1826  and  1827  published  irregularly  a  journal  devoted  to  research  under  the  name  of  the 
Journal  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  Beginning  with  April,  1829,  the  Journal 
was  issued  at  regular  stated  periods,  and  in  1835,  the  title  was  changed  to  the  American 
Journal  of  Pharmacy.  It  is  not  only  the  earliest  periodical  of  its  kind  in  the  world,  but  it  is 
recognized,  at  home  and  abroad,  as  the  leading  scientific  pharmaceutical  periodical  of  this 
country. 

During  the  past  century,  the  Journal  has  published  50,000  reading  pages,  the  larger  part 
of  which  has  been  research  work  in  pharmacy,  chemistry,  pharmacognosy  and  science  (Xote, 
please,  the  significance  of  the  initials  of  these — P.  C.  P.  and  S. !)  by  the  faculty  and  members 
and  contributors  to  the  Journal.  Thus,  John  Farr,  of  Farr  and  Kunzi  (later  Powers  and 
Weightman),  in  a  paper  read  before  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  of  which  he 
was  a  member,  at  a  meeting  held  December  27.  1825,  on  the  subject  of  "Extract  of  Quinine" 
(Journal  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy — later  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy, 
Vol.  I,  No.  2,  43),  made  the  following  statement:  "In  the  summer  and  autumn  of  1823.  a 
season  peculiarly  memorable  to  Philadelphians  by  reason  of  the  alarming  prevalence  of  in- 
termittent and  other  fevers,  sulphate  of  quinine  was  first  successfully  prepared  here,"  three 
years  after  its  discovery  by  Pelletier  and  Caventou ;  and  it  should  be  stated,  also,  that  Zeitler 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       329 

and  Kosengarten  (predecessors  of  Rosengarten  and  Sons),  likewise  made  quinine  sulphate  in 
1823,  their  first  sale  being  in  December  of  that  year.  And  it  may  be  added,  that  "morphine 
sulphate  and  morphine  acetate  were  first  manufactured  (in  this  country),  by  George  D. 
Rosengarten  in  1832;  and  the  mercurials  and  strychnine  sulphate  in  1834"  (Rosengarten  and 
Sons,  by  William  Mclntyre,  .lincrican  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  1904,  303).  All  of  which 
activities  were  doubtless  inspired  by  the  spirit  of  original  research  developed  by  the  College. 
And  William  Procter's  discovery  of  the  properties  of  the  salicylates  (1842)  led  to  the  manu- 
facture of  synthetic  oil  of  wintergreen  and  the  salicylates.  Thomas  J.  Husband  first  developed 
(1837)  the  manufacture  of  heavy  magnesia  in  this  country.  Robert  Shoemaker  first  made 
(1848)  glycerin  commercially.*  Charles  Shivers  first  developed  the  manufacture  of  adhesive 
plaster,  making  enormous  quantities  for  the  Government  during  the  Civil  War.  William  R. 
Warner  first  made  (1857)  sugar-coated  pills.  Alfred  Mellor  and  Henry  N.  Rittenhouse  first 
developed  the  manufacture  of  licorice  extract.  And  C.  Lewis  Diehl  and  William  Procter, 
Jr.,  first  made  the  process  of  percolation  commercially  practicable. 

The  most  important  discovery  of  the  Twentieth  Century — as  important  as  that  of  mor- 
phine, strychnine  and  quinine  one  hundred  years  ago — was  that  of  diphtheria  antitoxin  by 
Behring  in  collaboration  with  Kitasato  and  Wernicke  in  1890  and  1892.  This  discovery  re- 
duced the  mortality  of  diphtheria  from  40  per  cent  to  less  than  10  per  cent  and  saved  millions 
of  lives.  Tetanus  antitoxin  was  discovered  by  Behring  and  Kitasato  in  1892.  During  the 
World  War  its  value  as  a  life-saver  was  amply  demonstrated.  Ten  per  cent  of  the  wounded 
on  the  battlefields  of  France  were  attacked  by  the  tetanus  bacillus  and  90  per  cent  of  these 
died  of  lockjaw.  The  call  came  for  tetanus  antitoxin  and  millions  of  doses  were  supplied 
to  the  armies  of  the  Allies,  resulting  in  the  control  of  the  deadly  infection.  These  dis- 
coveries were  speedily  followed  by  others  of  equal  value  as  life-savers.  Typhoid  fever,  which 
hitherto  had  killed  more  soldiers  than  the  bullets  of  the  enemy  was  banished  from  the  armies 
by  anti-typhoid  vaccination. 

It  is  a  matter  of  pride  to  us  that  these  wonderful  discoveries  have  largely  been  made 
available  by  our  fellow  alumni  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  as  the  H.  K.  Mulford 
Company,  the  earliest  and  largest  producers  of  biologic  products  in  this  country,  and  who 
so  promptly  and  successfully  met,  by  means  of  an  immense  reserve  stock,  the  call  of  the 
allied  armies  for  such  products  during  the  World  War. 

And  in  the  laboratories  of  the  College  many  workers  have  solved  many  problems  that 
have  found  important  industrial  applications,  while  from  the  faculty  and  alumni  have  come 
original  papers  of  great  practical  value  to  medical  and  pharmaceutical  science. 

In  this  work  the  library  of  the  College  with  its  upwards  of  20,000  volumes  constituting 
the  largest  and  most  valuable  pharmaceutical  library  in  the  United  States,  has  been  found  to 
be  of  incalculable  service;  and  next  in  importance  has  been  its  museum  and  herbarium  with 
its  many  thousands  of  medicinal  plants,  its  rare  and  typical  exhibits  of  crude  drugs,  its  raw 
materials,  and  its  manufactured  drugs  from  all  parts  of  the  world. 

In  the  literature  of  pharmacy  and  allied  science,  the  College  has  always  been  most  actively 
represented,  its  faculty  having  issued  nearly  200  volumes.  Thus,  the  "U.  S.  Dispensatory" 
was  founded  in  1833,  by  George  B.  Wood  and  Franklin  Bache,  both  of  the  faculty;  John  M. 
Maisch  (with  Alfred  Stille,  M.D.)  founded  the  "National  Standard  Dispensatory"  in  1879; 
Robert  Bridges  was  the  American  editor  of  Fownes'  "Chemistry"  (1845-78),  and  of  Graham's 
"Elements  of  Chemistry"  (1852)  ;  William  Procter,  Jr.,  was  the  American  editor  of  Mohr  and 
Redwood's  "Pharmacy"  (1849)  ;  Edward  Parrish  wrote  his  first  "Pharmacy"  in  1855;  Joseph 
P.  Remington's  textbook  on  "Pharmacy"  has  been  the  standard  textbook  on  pharmacy  since 
1885,  in  this  country  and  many  foreign  lands;  John  M.  Maisch  published  in  1881  the  first 
textbook  on  "Materia  Medica"  in  this  country ;  Henry  Kraemer  wrote  his  first  "Applied  and 

*  Robert  Shoemaker  made  glycerin  experimentally  in  1846,  and  began  its  commercial 
manufacture  in  1848,  the  first  sale,  one  quarter  pound  at  $4.00  per  pound,  being  made  to 
Edward  Parrish  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Chestnut  and  Ninth  Streets,  on  June  1,  1848.  In 
1849,  Mr.  Shoemaker  made  and  sold  200  pounds,  and  after  this  the  demand  rapidly  increased.

Economic  Botany  and  Pharmacognosy"  while  at  the  College  (1897-1917)  ;  Henry  Trimble 
published  his  "Tannins" ;  Frank  X.  Moerk  issued  his  "Qualitative  Chemical  Analysis" ;  Samuel 
P.  Sadtler  (with  Virgil  Coblentz)  published  his  "Pharmaceutical  and  Medical  Chemistry," 
and  his  own  "Industrial  Chemistry" ;  Heber  W.  Youngken  issued  his  "Pharmaceutical  Botany 
and  Pharmacognosy" ;  John  A.  Roddy  issued  his  "Medical  Bacteriology,"  and  Paul  S.  Pit- 
tenger  published  his  "Biochemic  Drug  Assay  Methods" ;  and  with  these  should  be  included 
Julius  W.  Sturmer's  admirable  "Pharmaceutical  Latin"  and  "Pharmaceutical  Arithmetic,"  as 
he  has  been  affiliated  with  the  College  since  the  Chi-merger  of  1916.  And  there  were  many 
formularies  and  other  textbooks  published  that  are  not  now  in  general  use. 

Prior  to  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopceial  Convention  of  1850,  pharmacists  had  no  active  part  in 
the  revision  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia,  the  work  being  done  by  medical  men.  But  at  the 
1840  Convention  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  presented  for  consideration  "a  com- 
plete revised  copy  of  the  Pharmacopoeia  elaborated  with  ability  and  great  industry,  and  the 
Committee  accepted  after  deliberate  examination,  nearly  all  the  suggestions"  (U.  S.  P.  IX, 
X)  ;  and  thus  was  paved  the  way,  logically,  for  the  representation  of  pharmacists  in  all  sub- 
sequent revisions,  and  in  all  of  these  the  College  has  been  most  ably  represented.  Twelve 
of  the  thirty-three  present  pharmaceutical  members  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  are  P.  C.  P. 
men,  and  the  last  three  Revision  Committee  chairmen — Remington,  LaWall  and  Cook — have 
been  (or  are)  members  of  the  faculty  of  the  College. 

The  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  which  stands  for  the  highest  ideals  of  phar- 
maceutical practice,  and  is  the  backbone  of  professional  pharmacy  in  this  country,  was  organ- 
ized in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1852,  its  first  president  being  Daniel  B. 
Smith,  the  then  president  of  the  College;  and  from  the  time  of  its  organization,  the  members 
and  graduates  of  the  College  have  been  so  active  in  its  work,  occupying  many  important 
official  positions,  and  in  the  various  State  and  local  pharmaceutical  associations,  in  the  State 
Boards  of  Pharmacy,  and  as  teachers  in  many  schools  of  pharmacy,  that  the  College  has 
often  been  referred  to  as  the  "The  Mother  School  of  American  Pharmacy." 

What  of  the  future?  The  past  is  yesterday  and  the  future  is  tomorrow!  We  have  been 
given  a  glorious  heritage  and  must  maintain  the  traditions  of  the  fathers  and  justify  their 
faith  in  us.  How  can  this  best  be  done?  It  seems  to  me  that  five  things,  chiefly,  are  essen- 
tial: (1)  Better  education;  (2)  better  legislation;  (3)  better  practice;  (4)  better  relations 
with  the  medical  profession;  and  (5)  better  research  work. 

We  must  have  better  education,  that  is,  higher  entrance  requirements,  better  facilities 
for  instruction,  including  a  drug  plant  garden,  and  better  courses  of  instruction.  Beginning 
with  1923-24,  the  College  will  require  high  school  graduation,  or  its  equivalent,  for  entrance, 
and  we  are  now  working  for  better  facilities  and  advanced  instruction. 

And  it  may  be  possible  for  the  College  to  give  a  premedical  course  for  medical  students 
provided  such  course  is  organized  on  a  scholastic  basis  and  approved  by  the  Association  of 
American  Medical  Colleges.  The  number  of  medical  students  in  the  United  States  is  rapidly 
increasing  and  it  would  seem  that  the  College  could  readily  teach  premedical  students  physics, 
biology  (embracing  bacteriology),  biological  chemistry,  and  pharmacology,  together  with 
medical  pharmacy,  medical  chemistry  and  medical  pharmacognosy,  and  probably  mathematics 
and  languages.  Such  a  course  would  form  an  ideal  premedical  course. 

We  must  have  better  legislation,  especially  prerequisite  legislation,  and  this  need  is 
vital,  not  only  for  the  good  of  American  pharmacy,  but  for  the  better  service  of  the  Amer- 
ican people.  Today,  less  than  one-half  of  the  forty-eight  States  of  the  Union  have  prerequi- 
site laws,  and  the  public  will  not  be  properly  served  until  every  State  of  the  Union  has  such 
a  law ;  and  we  must  have  universal  reciprocity  between  State  Boards  of  Pharmacy,  or  national 
licensure ;  and  we  must  have  simpler  and  more  efficient  pharmacy  laws  by  State  and  nation. 

We  must  have  better  practice  along  professional  or  technical  lines  that  will  be  of  direct 
value  to  the  medical  profession  in  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  disease;  there  must  be  a 
sharper  differentiation  by  the  pharmacist,  in  his  daily  work,  between  legitimate  commercial 
pharmacy  and  illegitimate,  or  real  pharmacy  will  cease  to  be;  and  it  may  be  that  we  will 
have  in  this  country,  in  the  future — two  kinds  of  stores — pharmacies  and  drug  stores,  the 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       331 

former  for  professional  service  and  legitimate  commercialism,  and  the  latter  crassly  com- 
mercial. 

We  must  have  better  relations  with  the  medical  profession  by  deserving  it — by  perfecting 
our  individual  abilities  and  directing  our  work  primarily  along  professional  and  scientific 
lines  that  will  appeal  to  the  medical  profession  and  win  their  sympathetic  support.  In  the 
past  we  have  not  had  this.  Let  us  hope  that  under  the  inspiring  leadership  of  our  new  Presi- 
dent, William  Clarence  Braisted,  the  medical  profession  will  come  to  realize  the  potential 
possibilities  of  pharmacy,  acting  in  co-operation  with  medicine  as  a  sister  art. 

Pharmacy  is  the  study  of  the  reaction  of  drugs  without  the  human  body,  and  therapeutics 
is  the  study  of  the  reaction  of  drugs  within  the  body,  and  the  one  cannot  properly  function 
without  the  other.  In  a  word,  pharmacy  is  the  physico-chemistry  of  drugs,  and  therapeutics 
is  the  biochemistry ;  and  practically  pharmacy  is  as  vital  to  medicine  as  therapeutics  or  any 
other  medical  art. 

We  must  have  better  research  work,  because  research  is  the  life-blood  of  education  and 
practice.  As  Dean  Charles  H.  LaWall  writes  me,  "The  future  development  of  pharmacy  is 
largely  dependant  upon  the  stimulation  of  research,  especially  its  inculcation  in  the  student- 
body.  The  work  of  the  College  in  the  past  in  this  direction  has  been  of  the  highest  character, 
but  it  has  been  done  unsystematically,  and  was  largely  a  matter  of  chance  that  it  was  done  at 
all.  Men  like  Maisch,  Procter,  Remington,  Sadtler,  Kraemer  and  others  have  simply  bubbled- 
over  with  initiative,  and  their  efforts  have  enriched  pharmacy  and  made  it  better.  Today,  how- 
ever, the  output  is  limited,  because  every  member  of  the  faculty  is  driven  full-speed  in  taking 
care  of  his  teaching  and  accessory  work.  To  overcome  such  a  handicap,  the  teachers  should 
have  more  assistants  for  instructional  work.  The  progress  of  any  department  of  the  College 
could  then  be  measured  not  only  by  its  instructional  results,  but  also  by  the  quality  and 
quantity  of  original  work  it  turns  out,  and  the  College  would  have  a  standing  among  other 
scientific  schools  that  instruction  alone  could  not  give.  Furthermore,  students,  graduates, 
members  of  the  College,  and  others,  would  be  inspired  to  follow  the  example  of  the  faculty, 
and  the  field  of  research  would  be  developed  and  co-ordinated."  And  as  if  in  anticipation 
of  such  a  possibility,  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College  has  recently  established  a  Sub- 
committee on  Research  of  its  Committee  on  Education  to  systematically  promote  research 
work  in  pharmacy  and  correlated  science. 

And  the  field  of  research  is  practically  unlimited.  As  John  Uri  Lloyd,  a  Master  in 
Pharmacy  of  this  College  (1897),  and  one  whose  research  work  in  pharmacy  for  the  past 
fifty  years  stands  out  like  a  beacon-light  at  home  and  broad,  writes  me :  "In  my  opinion,  the 
field  of  research  is  as  yet  scarcely  invaded.  Whoever  enters  it  should,  with  each  subject,  as 
a  foundation,  have  his  feet  on  the  work  others  have  accomplished,  then  with  open  mind, 
raise  his  eyes  to  the  blue  sky  above.  He  should  start  with  a  hypothesis  gained  from  study 
or  experience  with  related  products,  and  yet  expect  to  fail  in  whatever  thought  had  specula- 
lively  advanced.  Disappointment  brings  then  no  pain.  He  should  be  so  bold  as  to  question 
orthodox  theoretical  rules  and  formula,  and  in  the  face  of  'authority'  create  images  and 
plans  of  procedure  of  his  own.  And  yet  he  should  be  so  timid  as  to  shrink  from  personal 
criticism  of  others,  realizing  that  his  own  self  will  rise  before  him  as  perhaps  the  one  most 
subject  to  criticism  under  the  backward  glance.  If  concerned  in  the  exactions  of  science,  he 
should  expect  resistance  from  those  whose  idols  he  touches  with  even  the  kindliest  intent. 
If  conscious  of  the  correctness  of  his  views  he  should  make  no  retort ;  time  will  care  for 
fact.  If  he  has  indiscretely  voiced  false  theories  based  on  fallacious  judgment,  he  should 
thank  the  man  of  the  present  for  service  rendered  in  his  disillusionment,  resting  assured 
that  time  would  later  have  served  the  same  purpose.  If  given  a  moderate  period  of  life  the 
backward  glance  will  surely  show  a  pathway  littered  with  his  own  broken  vases,  shattered 
into  fragments  by  himself.  The  great  charm  of  research  may  be  defined  as  the  construction 
of  new  edifices  out  of  those  demolished,  and  in  plant  research,  the  defining  and  describing  of 
natural  textures  and  plant  structures.  In  this  the  doors  to  be  opened  by  the  systematically 
trained  scientists  of  the  near  future  will  surely  make  the  life-wanderings  of  empiricists,  with 
whom  this  writer  is  to  be  classed,  pioneer  offerings  serviceable  perhaps  mainly  as  an  inspira- 
tion to  those  to  follow."

State,  so  strong  and  great  and  cry  to  her:  "Sail  on!  Our  hearts,  our  hopes,  our  prayers,

The  Relation  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy  to  Colleges  of  Pharmacy 

H.  C.  CHRISTENSEN 
Secretary  of  the  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy 

Henry  C.  Christensen,  son  of  H.  F.  Christensen,  was  born  (1865)  at  Union  Grove,  Wis. 
Early  education  in  Nebraska.  Graduated  from  Northwestern  University  School  of  Phar- 
macy in  1893  and  engaged  in  retail  drug  business  in  Chicago  as  manager  and  owner  for  seven- 
teen years.  Was  appointed  a  member  of  the  Illinois  Board  of  Pharmacy  in  1907,  and  has 
been  reappointed  with  each  successive  term.  Became  active  in  Interstate  Association  of 
Boards  of  Pharmacy  and  chairman  of  the  Advisory  Examination  Committee  of  the  National 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       333 

Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy  in  1913;  later  was  made  Secretary  of  the  Association. 
Suggested  outlines  for  an  ideal  type  of  examination,  which  have  been  universally  adopted. 
Member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  Illinois  Pharmaceutical  Associa- 
tion. His  ambition,  for  which  he  lias  worked  untiringly,  is  to  secure  universal  reciprocal 
registration,  and  as  a  foundation  for  this,  a  higher  and  more  uniform  standard  for  examina- 
tions, together  with  higher  educational  requirements  preliminary  to  the  professional  training. 

That  a  member  of  The  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy  should  be  invited 
to  address  a  gathering  assembled  to  celebrate  the  centennial  of  one  of  our  foremost — per- 
haps I  should  say  the  foremost — college  of  pharmacy,  strikes  me  as  a  significant  occurrence. 

The  time  is  easily  within  the  memory  of  you — perhaps  the  majority  of  you — when  colleges 
of  pharmacy  and  boards  of  pharmacy  went  their  separate  ways  ignoring  the  existence  of  each 
other.  While  their  work  was  in  related  fields  and  their  interests  on  parallel  lines,  they  fol- 
lowed the  law  of  parallel  lines  and  crossed  only  at  infinity. 

Not  only  did  they  go  their  separate  and  distinct  ways  but  it  required  no  astute  observer 
to  discern  evidence  of  dormant,  if  not  active,  aversion. 

Boards  looked  upon  colleges  which  were  blazing  the  way  into  the  pharmaceutical  wilder- 
ness as  an  aggregation  of  finespun  theorists  whose  domain  was  within  the  college  walls,  but 
whose  work  bore  no  relation  to  the  practical  hard-headed  business  of  conducting  a  phar- 
macy. 

The  colleges  from  their  side  viewed  the  boards  as  an  appendage  to  the  prevailing  political 
party  and  whose  members  were  more  noted  for  political  prowess  than  pharmaceutical  learning. 

Now,  we  may  admit  there  was  an  element  of  truth  in  the  position  taken  by  each  side, 
but  it  strikes  us  now  as  strange  that  neither  seemed  to  recognize  that  their  interests  were  in- 
separably interlocked  and  that  both  aimed  at  the  same  goal,  namely,  to  supply  to  the  com- 
munity pharmacists  qualified  to  render  to  the  people  of  the  commonwealth  the  service  to  which 
they — the  people — were  justly  entitled. 

It  was — and  is — the  function  of  the  schools  to  train  men  and  women  to  discharge  the 
duties  of  the  pharmacist,  and  the  boards  were  created  to  see  to  it  that  none  but  the  qualified 
were  permitted  to  practice. 

The  conditions  prevailing  up  to  within  ten  or  fifteen  years  ago  are  rapidly  changing. 
With  the  organization  of  the  schools  into  the  American  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical  Facul- 
ties, the  joining  of  the  Boards  in  the  National  Association  of  Boards  of  Pharmacy,  with  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association  co-operating  with  both,  and  with  the  State  Pharma- 
ceutical Associations  lending  a  hand  where  a  hand  is  needed,  we  are  rapidly  reaching  the  point 
where  the  relation  of  each  to  the  other  is  fully  recognized  and  where  the  part  that  each 
can  play  in  pharmaceutical  progress  is  plainly  marked  out. 

The  boards,  examining  as  they  do  thousands  of  candidates  each  year,  readily  perceive 
that  to  be  qualified  for  the  pharmaceutical  work  of  today  the  applicant  for  registration  as 
a  pharmacist  should  have  the  advantage  of  the  training  that  only  a  thoroughly  equipped  and 
well-manned  school  or  college  of  pharmacy  can  give. 

The  schools  recognize  that  the  boards,  both  by  their  examinations  and  by  the  influence 
they  have  in  securing  the  enactment  of  progressive  laws,  are  in  a  strategic  position  to  force 
the  elevation  of  our  pharmaceutical  standards  to  the  level  demanded  by  our  national  advance- 
ment. 

While  at  present  only  about  one-half  of  our  states  have  enacted  prerequisite  laws,  the 
boards  have  it  easily  within  their  power  to  enforce  practically  a  prerequisite  standard  through 
the  requirements  of  their  examinations. 

The  schools  on  their  part  must  of  course,  recognize  the  fact  that  the  training  they  give 
their  graduates  should  be  consistent  with  the  time  and  with  the  progress  we  as  pharmacists 
are  making,  always,  to  be  sure,  keeping  a  little  ahead  of  the  standards  of  today  and  anticipat- 
ing the  requirements  of  tomorrow. 

The  enactment  of  prerequisite  laws  in  the  various  states,  the  privilege  of  reciprocity  in 
pharmaceutic  licensure  with  forty-three  states  and  the  District  of  Columbia  when  registered 
as  a  pharmacist  in  one,  the  increasing  difficulty  of  passing  a  state  board  examination  unless 


334       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

college-trained,  the  greater  field  open  to  the  graduate  in  pharmacy  have  all  combined  to  en- 
courage young  men  and  women  to  matriculate  in  the  colleges  of  pharmacy  and  complete  the 
prescribed  course.  This  will  increase  rather  than  decrease  and  the  time  is  not  far  distant 
when  every  man  in  pharmacy  will  be  a  graduate  in  pharmacy  and  when  the  casual  customer 
to  the  pharmacy  will  look  for  the  college  diploma  on  the  wall  as  readily  as  he  now  looks  for 
the  state  board  license.  This  time  will  be  hastened  to  just  the  extent  that  board  and  schools 
recognize  their  mutual  dependence,  their  duty  to  the  public,  and  co-operate  for  the  needed 
progress  and  advancement. 

We  are  here  to  celebrate  the  centenary  of  a  great  educational  institution.  It  is  neither 
the  time  nor  place  for  me  to  enter  on  a  long  dissertation  on  the  relations  of  schools  and 
boards.  I  am  happy  to  be  permitted  to  join  you  in  celebrating  such  a  noteworthy  event. 

I  am  proud,  indeed,  that  you  should  remember  our  organization  when  issuing  invitations 
for  your  jubilee.  I  am  personally  delighted,  of  course,  to  be  the  representative  of  our  asso- 
ciation to  receive  your  invitation ;  and  as  the  years  roll  on,  and  new  milestones  of  progress 
are  set  up,  you  will  be  proud  and  our  Association  will  be  delighted,  to  recognize  the  fact 
that  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science,  ever  a  leader  in  its  field,  was  in 
the  advance-outposts,  establishing  mutual  relations  and  good  will  in  the  organizations  that 
make  for  progress  in  our  chosen  profession  of  pharmacy. 

Commencement  Day 

Next  day,  Wednesday,  June  15,  was  Commencement  Day.  The  graduating 
class  asssembled  in  the  Academy  of  Music  for  the  exercises,  which  included  ad- 
dresses by  President  Braisted  and  Professor  Herbert  W.  Hess  of  the  Wharton 
School  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  Diplomas  and  certificates  were  awarded 
to  187  students ;  68  more  would  receive  their  degrees  upon  reaching  their  legal  ma- 
jority or  upon  fully  satisfying  the  practical  experience  requirement.  The  degree 
of  master  of  pharmacy  honoris  causa  was  conferred  on  Rear-Admiral  Edward 
Rhodes  Stitt,  Surgeon-General  of  the  United  States  Navy,  and  a  graduate  of  the 
College ;  Edward  Kremers,  Samuel  L.  Hilton  and  Josiah  C.  Peacock ;  the  degree  of 
master  of  pharmacy  in  course  was  conferred  on  Ivor  Griffith,  a  member  of  the 
College  Faculty  and  Editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  and  Ellery  H. 
Harvey. 

The  celebration  throughout  was  accounted  on  all  sides  to  have  been  a  pro- 
nounced success.  It  was  the  most  brilliant  event,  as  it  was  meant  to  be  and  as  it 
deserved  to  be,  in  the  annals  of  the  institution. 

Endowment  of  the  College 

Reasons  were  given  and  arguments  adduced  for  the  endowment  of  the  College 
in  an  adequate  amount,  but  no  statement  in  1921  was  so  eloquent  and  clear  as  that 
made  by  Professor  Joseph  P.  Remington  in  his  address  at  the  ceremonies  which 
attended  the  opening  of  the  new  College  building  on  Tenth  Street  of  February  22, 
1893,  when  he  said  : 

"Pharmaceutical  education  has  saved  thousands  of  lives;  it  has  stayed  the  hand  of 
death  untold  numbers  of  times;  it  has  not  only  stood  between  the  physician  and  patient,  and 
guided  unerringly  the  hand  of  the  pharamacist  to  safety,  but  it  has  been  the  effectual  bar 
between  the  pharmacist  and  his  poor  frail  self,  with  his  tendency  to  err  and  fail ;  it  has  re- 
vealed to  him  the  great  gulf  which  yawned  below  him,  into  which  he  was  about  to  plunge  his 
patient,  his  reputation,  aye,  himself. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       335 

"The  great  educational  centers  of  our  country,  of  which  we  are  all  so  justly  proud,  our 
own  University,  Harvard,  Yale,  Johns  Hopkins,  Princeton,  Cornell,  and  lastly  the  University 
of  Chicago,  are  names  familiar  to  all.  Scarcely  an  issue  of  a  daily  newspaper  can  be  scanned 
without  seeing  a  notice  of  some  gift,  bequest  or  endowment  to  them.  Thousands  of  dollars 
are  yearly  pouring  into  the  coffers  of  these  worthy  institutions.  These  have  for  their  object 
the  higher  education  of  the  talented  youth  of  our  land.  For  the  education  of  the  classes,  who 
have  not  the  means  to  spend  in  elaborate  training,  there  stands  our  splendid  system  of  public 
schools,  and  an  education  in  the  United  States  is  denied  to  no  one.  In  the  case  of  the  uni- 
versities, the  opulent  from  their  abundance  support  them ;  for  the  public  schools,  rich  and  poor 
alike  are  taxed  for  their  maintenance,  but,  when  we  come  to  Pharmacy,  it  will  be  seen  that 
the  highly  favored  of  this  land  have  entirely  overlooked  us.  Pharmacy  has  no  school  tax 
on  which  to  depend ;  she  has  never  even  applied  to  the  Legislature  for  an  appropriation.  The 
treasury  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  has  been  enriched  by  but  one  bequest  in 
seventy-two  years,  that  of  a  small  legacy  in  1865  for  the  purchase  of  books  and  scientific  ap- 
paratus. .  .  .  The  public  itself  and  those  not  directly  interested  in  the  technical  work  of  phar- 
macy have  stood  entirely  aloof,  although  no  one  can  deny  that  the  public  has  received  the 
greatest  advantages  which  flow  from  higher  pharmaceutical  education.  Pharmacy's  educa- 
tional institutions  have  had  to  rely  solely  on  her  own  votaries.  Has  not  the  time  come  for 
Pharmacy  to  make  its  appeal,  to  stand  up,  shoulder  to  shoulder,  with  the  other  colleges  of  our 
land,  which  are  continually  asking  the  public  for  the  necessary  sinews  of  war  to  carry  on  the 
work;  and  has  she  not  a  convincing  argument  when  she  points  to  the  fact  that  12,700  students 
have,  up  to  this  time  (1893),  received  instruction  in  these  halls — impelled  here  solely  by  the 
desire  to  improve  themselves  and  fit  them  for  better  service  to  the  public  entirely  at  their  own 
expense. 

"If  immense  sums  can  be  annually  applied  through  gifts,  bequests,  endowments,  appropri- 
ations from  Legislature,  and  in  other  ways  for  the  support  of  universities  and  colleges,  which 
simply  give  a  general  education,  will  it  be  impossible  to  ask  that  a  modest  sum  be  set  apart 
through  these  same  agencies  to  aid  in  pharmaceutical  education,  whose  importance  to  the 
general  weal  is  far  greater,  for  through  it  flow  the  issue  of  health  or  disease,  safety  or  dis- 
aster, life  or  death." 

Official  Statement  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Philadelphia  College 

of  Pharmacy  and  Science 

Following  a  Decision  by  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  No.  3,  of  County  of  Philadelphia 

In  view  of  the  widespread  publicity  that  had  been  given  to  certain  adminis- 
trative changes  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science,  the  Board  of 
Trustees  unanimously  issued  on  November  21,  1921,  the  following  statement: 

The  movement  for  the  celebration  of  the  One  Hundredth  Anniversary  of  the  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy  was  officially  initiated  by  the  College  on  March  29,  1920,  when  a 
Committee  on  Centennial  Celebration  was  authorized  and  appointed. 

Plans  for  the  extension  and  endowment  of  the  College  were  adopted. 

The  Committee  on  Centennial  Celebration  engaged,  on  February  28,  1921,  an  expert 
organizer  to  aid  in  the  contemplated  drive  for  funds,  a  small  group  of  alumni  guaranteeing 
to  pay  the  cost  of  such  engagement  so  that  the  College  would  receive  one  hundred  cents  for 
every  dollar  contributed. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  College  was  held  on  March  28,  1921,  when  Mr.  O.  W.  Oster- 
lund,  a  prominent  alumnus,  was  elected  President  by  a  large  majority.  It  was  believed  that 
a  more  progressive  administrative  policy  should  be  followed. 

Mr.  Osterlund,  upon  his  installation  as  President,  immediately  announced  that  he  would 
occupy  the  position  only  until  a  successor  of  national  reputation  could  be  obtained. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  organized  shortly  after  the  annual  meeting  and  unanimously 
elected  as  its  Chairman,  Prof.  Samuel  P.  Sadtler,  for  thirty-eight  years  a  member  of  its 


336       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

teaching  Faculty  and  now  Emeritus  Professor  of  Chemistry,  and  placed  in  charge  of  most 
of  its  important  committees,  members  who  for  more  than  twenty-five  years  had  been  actively 
identified  with  the  work  of  the  College. 

In  the  meanwhile,  the  field  was  thoroughly  canvassed  for  a  successor  to  President  Oster- 
lund,  and  the  position  was  tendered,  through  an  authorized  committee  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees, to  Dr.  William  C.  Braisted,  a  former  Surgeon-General  of  the  United  States  Xavy,  who 
expressed  himself  as  favorable  to  accepting  it.  The  preliminary  negotiations  proving  satis- 
factory, Dr.  Braisted  was  elected  President  at  an  adjourned  meeting  of  the  College  on  May  9, 
1921,  his  salary  being  guaranteed  by  a  group  of  generous  alumni  until  the  College  could  take 
care  of  this  expense  in  its  budget. 

It  was  unfortunate  in  many  ways  that  a  few  of  the  members  of  the  College,  instead  of 
accepting  the  result  of  the  election  and  seeking  later  to  have  it  changed  by  the  membership, 
questioned  the  legal  right  of  Dr.  Braisted  to  hold  the  office  of  President  and  took  their  case 
into  court.  As  a  result,  the  campaign  for  funds  for  the  College  was  checked. 

The  alumni,  members  and  friends  of  the  College  will  be  gratified  to  learn  that  the  action 
taken  has  been  disposed  of  by  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  No.  3,  County  of  Philadelphia, 
Judge  Ferguson  presiding,  and  unqualified  judgment  has  been  entered  in  favor  of  Dr.  Braisted 
continuing  as  President  of  the  College.  This  was  especially  gratifying  to  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  as  Dr.  Braisted  has  consistently  pursued  a  course  of  entire  devotion  to  the  best 
interests  of  the  College  with  an  utter  disregard  of  personal  consequences.  When  the  court 
action  was  first  brought,  he  sought  the  advice  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  as  to  whether  he 
should  remain  as  President,  or  whether  the  Board  considered  that  the  institution  would  be 
better  served  by  his  prompt  resignation.  At  his  request,  the  Board  took  a  ballot  which  re- 
sulted in  an  unanimous  vote  of  confidence,  with  the  request  that  he  remain  in  the  presidency 
until  the  legality  of  his  position  had  been  judicially  determined.  This  determination  has  been 
recently  made  and  is  as  follows : 

COMMONWEALTH  OF  PENNSYLVANIA,  ex.  rel. 
RICHARD  V.  MATTISON  AND  GEORGE  M. 
BERINGER, 

C.  P.  No.  3 
vs.  t  March  Term,  1921 

No.  8993 
WILLIAM  C.  BRAISTED 

FERGUSON,  J.,  October  28,  1921. 

This  is  a  petition  in  quo  warranto  to  test  the  right  of  William  C.  Braisted  to  hold  the 
office  of  President  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science. 

To  the  suggestion  for  the  writ  a  motion  of  quash  was  filed.  At  the  argument  of  this 
motion  it  was  stated  to  the  Court  that,  at  most,  any  irregularity  in  the  election  of  the  re- 
spondent had  been  due  to  a  misunderstanding  of  the  requirements  of  the  by-laws,  that  the 
relators  under  no  circumstances  were  entitled  to  the  office,  and  neither  was  any  other  person 
who  asserted  a  right  to  it;  that  the  respondent  represented  the  choice  of  a  large  majority  of 
the  members  of  the  corporation,  and  if  opportunity  were  given  them  to  indicate  their  choice 
at  another  election  that  fact  would  be  demonstrated,  if  that  action  were  deemed  necessary. 

The  Court,  being  of  opinion  that  a  prolonged  controversy  over  the  question  would  bring 
scandal  and  great  injury  upon  an  ancient  institution  of  learning,  of  honorable  repute  in  the 
community,  felt  justified  in  delaying  action  upon  the  motion  to  quash  for  a  few  weeks  to 
enable  the  respondent  to  demonstrate  the  facts  thus  brought  to  its  attention.  Accordingly  the 
respondent  resigned  his  office  to  take  effect  in  the  month  of  September  of  this  year,  and  at 
.a  regular  stated  meeting  of  the  corporation  held  on  September  26,  1921,  after  notice  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  by-laws,  an  election  was  held,  at  which  the  respondent,  by  an  overwhelming 
vote,  was  chosen  President.  With  leave  of  the  Court  the  motion  of  quash  was  thereupon 
withdrawn  and  an  answer  filed,  setting  out  the  facts  just  related. 

Whatever  criticism,  if  any,  could  be  made  against  the  prior  election  becomes  therefore 
of  little  importance.  The  respondent  holds  his  office  by  a  title  which  cannot  now  be  ques- 
tioned. 

The  matter  having  been  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  Court  on  petition  and  answer  and 
the  facts  set  up  in  the  answer  admitted,  it  must  necessarily  follow  that  judgment  should  be 
entered  for  the  respondent. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       337 

The  plans  for  the  improvement  of  the  College  have  progressed  most  satisfactorily.  A 
fund  was  raised  by  subscription  amounting  to  nearly  $12,000  for  the  physical  betterment  of 
the  College,  such  as  repairs,  painting,  furnishings,  additional  lavatories,  laboratory  equip- 
ment, etc.  A  comprehensive  budget  system  of  expenditures  was  promptly  put  into  effect. 
Additional  professors  and  instructors  were  engaged  to  give  adequate  instruction  in  the  B.Sc. 
courses  in  Pharmacy,  Chemistry,  Pharmacognosy  and  Bacteriology,  which  are  of  high  cul- 
tural and  scientific  value,  equivalent  to  similar  courses  in  the  universities  and  scientific  col- 
leges, and  to  provide  adequate  assistants,  not  only  for  carrying  on  the  routine  teaching  work 
of  the  College,  but  also  to  enable  constructive  research  work  to  be  accomplished  in  every 
department.  The  new  B.Sc.  courses  are  in  force  with  a  gratifying  number  of  students. 

Furthermore,  the  new  administration  has  rearranged  the  Roster  of  the  College  and  in- 
creased the  facilities  for  teaching,  whereby  it  has  been  made  possible  to  handle  at  least  750 
students,  instead  of  the  former  maximum  of  600. 

The  number  of  students  this  year,  both  in  the  regular  and  in  the  post-graduate  courses, 
is  record-breaking,  nearly  700  being  in  attendance.  The  College  is  prosperous,  and  has  never 
had  such  whole-hearted  support  from  the  alumni,  members  and  friends  as  at  present.  This 
support  is  shown  not  only  by  the  interest  in  the  College,  but  by  generous  contributions  of 
money,  nearly  thirty  thousand  dollars  haviny  been  contributed  during  the  past  six  months, 
including  the  contributions  for  the  physical  betterment  of  the  College  mentioned  above.  But 
the  College  cannot  rest  satisfied  with  its  past  achievements.  It  must  go  forward  and  develop 
and  extend  its  activities,  or  it  will  not  be  true  to  its  traditions ;  and  to  do  this,  further  con- 
tributions of  funds  will  be  necessary. 

Since  Founder's  Day,  February  23,  1921,  the  membership  of  the  College  has  been  prac- 
tically doubled,  i.  e.,  from  about  600  members  to  1,200  members. 

A  series  of  public  scientific  lectures  has  been  inaugurated  for  the  present  season  as  one 
of  the  means  of  showing  the  value  of  the  institution  to  the  general  public.  Important  re- 
search work  is  being  carried  on  in  several  of  the  departments,  the  results  of  which  when 
published,  will  be  of  great  value  in  advancing  the  scientific  standing  of  the  College. 

A  series  of  lectures  on  Citizenship  is  contemplated  as  leading  up  to  and  paving  the  way 
for  the  subject  of  pharmaceutical  ethics,  for  good  citizenship  is  recognized  as  a  fundamental 
necessity  in  the  making  of  a  good  pharmacist. 

There  has  been  no  change  in  the  educational  policies  of  the  College,  nor  is  any  change 
contemplated,  except  to  improve  and  amplify  the  courses  of  instruction  and  keep  them  up  to 
date.  These  policies  will  be,  in  the  future,  as  they  have  been  in  the  past,  in  the  hands  of  the 
Faculty  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  the  College. 

The  campaign  for  funds  for  the  College  for  extension  and  endowment  has  been  postponed 
for  a  time,  and  we  believe  that  our  prospects  are  very  bright  for  a  generous  response,  not 
only  from  our  alumni  and  members,  but  from  individuals  who  can  see  in  the  vision  of  the 
future  a  greater  institution  than  its  founders  ever  planned  and  one  of  tremendous  value  to  the 
progress  of  pharmacy  and  to  the  welfare  of  the  general  public. 

We  believe  that  a  new  era  is  at  hand  in  the  development  of  scientific  and  professional 
pharmacy  in  this  country,  and  in  such  development,  our  College  should  be  the  leader.  We 
believe,  also,  that  President  W.  C.  Braisted  has  the  vision  to  see  and  the  ability  to  properly 
promote  such  development,  and  thereby  perform  a  service  of  the  highest  value  to  American 
Pharmacy.  We  enclose  the  reprint  of  an  editorial  he  has  written  for  the  current  issue  of  the 
American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  giving  his  views  upon  the  subject  of  "The  Dawn  of  a  New 
Era  in  Scientific  Pharmacy."

PHILADELPHIA,  NOVEMBER  21,  1921. 

The  Dawn  of  a  New  Era  in  Scientific  Pharmacy 

The  article  recently  published  by  Dr.  Llewellys  Barker  on  therapeutic  measures  (Jour. 
Amer.  Med.  Assoc.,  Oct.  8,  1921)  ;  the  papers  read  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  American  Medical 
Association  in  the  section  devoted  to  pharmacology  and  therapeutics,  by  Rountree,  Young, 
Crile  and  others ;  the  last  presidential  address  of  the  British  Pharmaceutical  Association ; 
the  address  of  the  President  of  the  American  Medical  Association  calling  attention  to  a 
renewed  interest  in  pharmacy  and  therapeutics ;  the  examples  of  the  close  union  of  schools 
of  pharmacy  with  hospitals  in  Germany  and  the  efforts  being  made  in  this  direction  in  this 
and  other  countries,  are  but  evidences  that  a  new  era  is  at  hand  in  the  history  of  pharmacy 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       339 

and  that  its  growth  in  usefulness  and  importance  in  the  interests  of  humanity  and  medicine 
is  so  well  advanced  and  determined  that  we  cannot  afford  to  fail  to  respond  to  the  inspiration 
of  the  great  work  planned  by  all  thinking  minds  for  the  decade  to  follow. 

The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science,  for  the  past  one  hundred  years,  has 
been  a  leader  in  all  that  pertains  to  pharmacy  and  the  allied  sciences,  and  the  progressive 
element  in  the  Board  of  Trustees,  the  Faculty  and  the  College  body  appreciate  fully  the  im- 
portance of  the  present  movement  and  desire  that  this  institution  shall  be  among  the  fore- 
most to  join  in  the  efforts  to  advance  the  interests  of  this  great  profession,  with  all  its  varied 
interests  and  ramifications  in  both  the  professional  and  business  world. 

With  this  end  in  view,  the  efficiency  of  the  College  has  been  improved  and  enlarged, 
made  possible  by  the  financial  assistance  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  a  few  friends  of  the 
institution.  The  College  has  been  renovated  and  repaired  to  try  to  provide  proper,  adequate 
and  comfortable  quarters  for  its  work,  and  its  faculty  and  curriculum  expanded  to  meet 
the  demands  of  the  awakening  interest  in  pharmacy  and  therapeutics.  The  allied  branches  of 
the  work — general  chemistry,  industrial  chemistry,  physiological  chemistry,  bacteriology — • 
have  equally  been  provided  for,  and  at  the  same  time  measures  have  been  taken  to  raise  the 
general  standard  of  educational  pre-college  work,  which  has  already  brought  to  the  institution 
a  class  better  equipped  for  the  work  than  ever  before.  To  supply  a  broad  and  thorough  basic 
education  as  a  preparation  for  our  professional  courses,  instruction  in  the  languages,  in 
mathematics  and  in  business  methods,  has  been  provided,  in  order  that  the  graduate  shall  go 
forth  well  equipped  for  work  in  the  world  and  with  a  foundation  that  makes  possible  suc- 
cessful life  work,  whether  it  be  in  pure  pharmacy  or  its  business  branches,  such  as  the  retail 
drug  business  or  the  great  manufacturing  houses,  or  in  the  work  of  pure  research,  whether  it 
be  botany  or  chemistry  or  physiology  or  bacteriology.  It  will  be  the  effort  of  the  College 
to  provide  instruction  in  its  regular  and  post-graduate  work  which  will  enable  its  students 
to  successfully  enter  the  fields  of  life  work  in  the  many  splendid  openings  existing  today 
as  real  pharmacists,  as  analytic  chemists,  as  directors  of  great  sanitation  problems,  as  re- 
search workers  either  independently  or  in  the  great  laboratories  of  our  educational  and  in- 
dustrial institutions,  to  be  directors  and  assistants  in  the  bacteriological  and  biological  labora- 
tories of  educational  institutions,  of  general  and  municipal  governments,  in  the  great  drug 
manufacturing  laboratories,  to  carry  on  work  of  this  kind  in  pharmacies  and  drug  stores 
which  maintain  laboratories  great  or  small,  and  to  be  the  skilled  assistants  of  physicians  in 
those  important  branches  of  their  practice  involving  all  that  pertains  to  the  chemical,  bac- 
teriological, biological  examinations  of  their  patients,  and  which  the  physician  has  not  the 
time  and  often  not  the  technical  skill  to  perform. 

A  glance  shows  the  vast  importance,  the  numerous  splendid  openings  for  the  work  con- 
templated by  the  present  organization  of  the  College.  It  must  not  be  overlooked  also  that 
the  preprofessional  work  to  be  obtained  in  this  College  provides  the  best  possible  basis  for 
those  who  intend  ultimately  to  study  and  practice  medicine.  In  fact,  it  must  be  apparent 
that  no  medical  man  can  hope  to  enter  on  his  profession,  equipped  for  research  and  scientific 
medical  attainment,  without  the  basal  information  given  in  the  work  of  this  school. 

The  fact  that  medicine  and  pharmacy  have  grown  apart  during  the  past  years  is  regretted 
by  both  professions,  and  their  closer  union  is  absolutely  necessary  for  the  success  of  each 
in  its  humanitarian  work. 

The  great  need  of  the  present  day,  as  Dr.  Rountree  states  at  the  close  of  his  address 
before  the  Section  on  Pharmacology  and  Therapeutics  of  the  American  Medical  Association, 
is  the  establishment  of  a  "National  Institute  of  Pharmacology  and  Experimental  Therapeu- 
tics." 

This  idea  has  been  in  the  minds  of  some  of  the  trustees  and  officers  of  the  College,  and 
it  has  been  thought  that  a  movement  along  this  line  might  be  contemplated  with  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science  as  a  center,  linking  up  its  work  with  a  great  hos- 
pital existing  or  to  be  built  in  the  city  in  connection  with  a  manufacturing  plant  under  the 
control  and  direction  of  the  College,  with  an  adequate  animal  farm  for  biological  products 
and  an  extensive  botanical  and  research  garden  for  the  systematic  study,  cultivation  and 
standardization  of  therapeutic  drug  plants. 


340       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

This  would  allow  the  equal  and  co-ordinate  union  of  the  College  for  teaching,  research 
and  standardizing  all  that  pertains  to  pharmacy  and  its  allied  branches  in  chemistry  and 
bacteriology,  the  proper  preparation  for  safe  and  scientific  administration  of  its  products  and 
the  determination  of  their  value  at  the  bedside  in  the  associated  hospital  by  the  best  staff  of 
attending  and  consulting  physicians  the  city  could  produce.  This  would  bring  about,  ideally, 
the  union  of  the  doctor,  the  scientific  pharmacist  and  the  highest  and  best  method  of  making 
the  therapeutic  agent  for  human  use.  As  a  co-ordinate  body  they  would  work  constantly 
together,  and  the  final  approved  therapeutic  agent,  with  its  full  history,  characteristics,  mode 
of  application  and  method  of  manufacture  would  then  be  given  to  the  world  for  its  use  and 
to  the  commercial  manufacturers  for  production.  No  commercial  element  enters  into  this 
proposed  organization.  For  this  purpose  a  sufficient  endowment  must  be  raised  to  place 
the  College,  the  hospital,  the  manufacturing  plant  absolutely  outside  of  any  possible  com- 
mercial implication.  If  possible,  the  patients  at  the  hospital  should  be  free  patients,  but  given 
the  best  of  every  hospital  attention  and  equipment.  Philadelphia,  which  needs  so  acutely 
larger  facilities  for  the  care  of  its  sick,  could  well  assist  to  make  so  magnificent  a  contribu- 
tion to  the  welfare  of  its  population,  and  indirectly  to  that  of  the  world. 

This  outline  of  the  visions  of  the  possibilities  of  the  future,  it  is  hoped,  will  stimulate 
thought  and  action  in  the  forward  movement  of  the  work  and  help  lead  to  the  assistance  and 
solution  of  the  great  problem  before  us. 

The  College  possesses  already  on  its  staff  men  of  splendid  attainment  and  untiring  energy 
and  courage  to  prosecute  its  work.  Never  have  I  seen  a  group  of  educators  better  equipped 
to  inspire  the  young,  to  give  instruction  that  has  real,  practical,  usable  worth  in  the  life 
work.  With  the  increase  in  the  faculty  more  time  will  be  given  for  problems  of  research, 
which  in  the  past  has  been  so  important,  inspiring  and  valuable.  It  is  hoped  when  the  reor- 
ganization is  complete  that  the  resources  of  the  College  may  be  made  available  to  the  out- 
side world  in  order  that  its  problems  may  be  referred  to  our  research  workers  for  solution, 
and  if  this  work  can  be  provided  practically  free  of  charge,  many  a  splendid  idea  may  result 
in  practical  fulfillment  and  use. 

In  view  of  the  splendid  possibilities,  can  there  be  one  among  us  who  will  not  do  his  ut- 
most to  see  that  at  last  pharmacy  may  be  given  its  fair  chance  to  develop  itself  in  the  world's 
work? 

W.  C.  BRAISTED.

Co-operative  Research  in  Pharmacy  and  Medicine 

Later  (May  3,  1922),  President  Braisted  discussed  more  fully  the  subject  of 
scientific  pharmacy,  especially  in  relation  to  research  work  and  the  co-ordination  of 
all  the  healing  agencies  for  the  benefit  of  humanity,  stating  to  the  Philadelphia 
Ledger  that : 

"The  work  which  we  have  in  mind  will  begin  at  the  very  beginning,  that  is,  with  the 
raising  of  our  own  medicinal  herbs  and  plants.  In  this  branch,  as  well  as  in  the  later  ones, 
the  most  exhaustive  research  will  be  conducted.  We  plan  to  experiment  with  all  the  now 
known  medicinal  plants  and  to  experiment  not  only  with  these  and  with  combinations  of 
them,  but  also  to  raise  many  plants  the  medicinal  value  of  which  is  as  yet  not  definitely  known, 
and,  in  short,  to  make  a  thorough  and  practical  survey  of  the  entire  botanical  field. 

"When  we  have  discovered  drugs  which  appear  to  be  of  value  in  the  science  of  healing, 
the  next  step  will  be  to  have  them  thoroughly  tested.  This  we  shall  do  ourselves  in  our  own 
laboratories,  up  to  a  certain  point,  and  then  we  shall  have  them  thoroughly  tested  by  the  best 
physicians  in  the  country,  many  of  whom  have  already  signified  their  willingness  to  co-operate 
with  us. 

"When  the  time  arrives  that  these  great  physicians  are  convinced  that  certain  drugs  will 
alwavs  have  certain  effects,  then  we  shall  give  the  formula;  to  the  manufacturers.  We  shall 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       341 

not  do  any  of  the  manufacturing  ourselves,  as  it  is  essential  for  us  to  keep  ourselves  entirely 
away  from  the  commercial  side;  we  are  simply  doing  the  work  of  discovery  through  research 
and  experimentation. 

"We  already  have  two  acres  of  ground  under  cultivation,  and  there  are  200  acres  at  our 
disposal  near  Philadelphia  upon  which  we  shall  place  our  experimental  botanical  gardens. 
From  the  work  which  is  to  be  done  on  this  land  we  have  high  hopes  of  making  some  im- 
portant medical  discoveries. 

"Our  plan  contemplates  the  working  together  in  a  closer  manner  than  ever  before,  since 
medicine  and  pharmacy  separated  about  a  century  ago,  on  these  two  great  agencies,  and  to 
them  will  be  added  the  work  of  the  chemists,  bacteriologist  and  all  other  agencies  which  are 
now  working  more  or  less  separately  toward  the  same  end. 

"A  practical  demonstration  of  the  value  of  an  institution  of  this  kind  was  given  in  a 
notable  way  at  the  American  University  Experiment  Station  in  Washington  during  the  war. 
Amazing  results  followed  the  labor  of  the  experts  in  the  various  lines,  among  them  being 
chemists,  physicists,  biologists,  pharmacologists  and  pathologists  from  many  sections  of  the 
country  and  all  working  under  one  roof  in  close  co-operation  and  in  conference  almost  hourly. 
"This  is  what  we  hope  to  establish  as  a  permanent  thing,  and  if  the  work  is  carried  out 
along  the  lines  now  planned,  as  there  seems  to  be  every  likelihood  that  it  will  be,  it  will  con- 
stitute one  of  the  great  movements  of  the  present  century.  Thousands  and  hundreds  of  thou- 
sands of  lives  are  now  being  lost  needlessly  because  of  insufficient  knowledge  concerning 
chemical,  physical  and  biological  changes. 

"With  all  these  agencies  working  together,  it  will  be  quite  possible  to  obtain  new  and 
higher  standards  of  drugs.  Research  and  experimentation  alone  will  do  much,  but  we  plan 
also  to  have  the  co-operation  of  many  of  the  largest  and  most  responsible  chemical  and  drug 
houses  and  to  take  full  advantage  of  their  practical  knowledge. 

"Together  we  shall  approach  the  problems  which  constantly  beset  the  physician  and  the 
pharmacist ;  problems  relating  to  the  variability  of  drugs,  their  pathological  action  and  the 
results  of  combining  them.  Perhaps  the  greatest  deterrent  factor  in  the  combating  of  disease 
in  the  past  has  been  that  there  was  so  little  co-operation  among  the  sciences  of  healing,  which 
are  all  striving  for  the  same  goal  but  by  highly  different  paths. 

"In  this  great  work  from  which  we  hope  to  achieve  so  much  of  good  for  humanity,  Phila- 
delphia will  play  a  leading  part,  and  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science  will 
be  the  vehicle  for  the  movement.  We  have  thus  far  received  the  heartiest  co-operation  which 
could  be  asked  from  all  those  who  have  been  approached,  and  all  the  allied  branches  of  medi- 
cine have  expressed  hearty  approval  of  the  idea.  This  has  been  the  case  with  the  manufactur- 
ing houses  as  well  as  with  the  scientists.  It  is  no  part  of  the  program  to  interfere  in  any 
way  with  private  enterprise.  Our  work  will  in  a  measure  be  to  stand  as  a  sort  of  clearing 
house  between  the  medical  arts  and  sciences  and  the  manufacturers.  The  problems  of  the 
former  will  come  to  us,  we  shall  solve  them  if  possible,  and  turn  over  the  results,  after  they 
have  been  thoroughly  tested  and  approved  both  by  us  and  by  the  physicians  to  the  manu- 
facturers. 

"As  to  our  plans  for  the  College,  they  are  already  pretty  well  known.  We  have  assur- 
ance of  the  sale  of  our  present  site,  and  will  take  a  new  location  which  will  permit  the  ex- 
pansion which  is  now  essential  to  our  college  work  as  well  as  to  the  research  work  which  we 
have  in  mind.  The  new  buildings  will  contain  ample  room  and  all  modern  facilities  for  the 
great  task  which  is  ahead  of  us.  The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science  is  the 
oldest  institution  of  its  kind  in  the  United  States,  and  at  its  centennial  anniversary,  which  was 
observed  recently,  the  alumni  proposed  to  raise  a  substantial  sum  to  be  devoted  to  the  endow- 
ment of  the  new  college. 

"We  have  secured  thus  far  the  most  cordial  co-operation  of  all  the  various  elements  which 
we  shall  combine  in  our  new  plan  of  research.  But  the  support  of  the  public  is  also  a  neces- 
sary thing  in  a  movement  such  as  this.  We  are  going  ahead  with  what  we  believe  to  be  one 
of  the  most  important  movements  of  the  present  century ;  a  movement  which,  when  its  perma- 
nent value  is  demonstrated,  will  receive  the  unquestioning  support  not  only  of  the  citizens  of 
Philadelphia,  but  of  the  entire  world  as  well.''

Up  to  1846  there  were  only  two  chairs — one  of  materia  medica  and  phar- 
macy, and  the  other  of  pharmaceutical  and  general  chemistry ;  then  the  former 
chair  was  divided  into  two  separate  chairs — materia  medica  and  pharmacy,  and 
the  title  of  the  chemical  chair  changed  to  chemistry. 

In  1867,  however,  the  chair  of  materia  medica  was  changed  to  that  of  materia 
medica  and  botany,  to  remain  such  until  1897,  when  it  was  divided  into  materia 
medica  (to  include  physiology  and  pharmacology),  and  botany  and  pharmacognosy. 

In  1867  the  chair  of  pharmacy  was  changed  to  that  of  theory  and  practice  of 
pharmacy,  the  chair  of  analytical  chemistry  was  established  in  1881,  that  of 
bacteriology  and  hygiene  in  1914,  those  of  general  chemistry  and  of  pharmaceutical 
chemistry  in  1916,  and  that  of  operative  pharmacy  in  1918.

OFFICERS  AND  -TRUSTEES  OF  THE  COLLEGE 

Charles  Marshall 

Founder;  President,  1821-1824. 

Charles  Marshall,  the  first  president  of  the  College,  was  born  May  8,  1744.  He  was  the 
youngest  son  of  Christopher  Marshall,  the  "fighting  Quaker,"  who  had  long  conducted  an 
apothecary  shop  which  enjoyed  the  confidence  of  the  physicians  of  the  city  in  an  unusual  de- 
gree, located  first  in  1729  at  Front  and  Chestnut  Streets  and  after  1735,  on  the  south  side 
of  Chestnut  Street  above  Second  (now  No.  214).  Christopher  Marshall  was  one  of  the  pic- 
turesque figures  of  the  Revolution  on  the  patriot  side,  though  his  membership  in  the  Society 
of  Friends  forbade  warlike  activities.  It  was  on  this  account  that  he  joined  the  Wetherills  and 
others  in  founding  the  "Free  Quaker  Meeting,"  which  erected  a  house  of  worship,  still  stand- 
ing at  Fifth  and  Arch  Streets.  In  1765  two  of  his  sons,  Christopher,  Jr.,  and  Charles,  were 
taken  into  partnership ;  seven  years  later  he  withdrew  from  active  participation  in  the  business, 
but  still  continued  his  public  activities.  In  1776  he  was  commissioned  "to  look  after  the 
needs  of  the  sick  and  wounded  in  the  hospitals  of  Philadelphia."  (Congressional  Record,  1776.) 

Charles  Marshall  was  a  man  of  unusual  natural  ability  and  highly  educated.  He  was 
a  deep  student  of  Latin  and  Greek  and  possessed  fine  literary  taste.  He  learned  the  drug 
business  of  his  father  and  became  the  active  manager  of  the  business,  his  brother  Christopher, 
Jr.,  confining  his  attention  chiefly  to  the  shipping  business,  in  which  the  brothers  were  asso- 
ciated in  partnership  with  their  older  brother  Benjamin. 

The  enviable  reputation  of  the  Marshall  drug  store  increased  and  "a  laboratory  for  the 
boiling  of  oils  and  the  manufacture  of  ammonia  salts  and  other  chemicals  was  established  in 
North  Third  Street,  near  the  stone  bridge  over  the  Cohocksink  Creek.  This  firm  supplied 
large  quantities  of  medicines  to  the  Colonial  troops;  those  of  Pennsylvania,  Xew  Jersey, 
Maryland,  Delaware  and  Virginia  obtained  their  medicinal  supplies  almost  entirely  from  this 
store"  (George  M.  Beringer). 

Charles  Marshall  became  one  of  the  master  apothecaries  of  the  city  and  "by  scrupulous 
probity  of  character,  combined  with  great  urbanity  of  manners,  he  secured  the  respect  and 
affection  of  a  large  circle  of  friends  and  customers.  After  being  in  business  for  many  years 
(until  1801),  and  acquiring  an  ample  competence,  he  resigned  its  cares  to  his  son,  though 
unfortunately  retaining  his  connection  with  the  firm,  which,  through  imprudence,  became 
involved  in  bankruptcy  after  its  senior  member  was  far  beyond  the  period  of  life  at  which 
he  could  repair  his  fortunes.  In  1804,  his  daughter,  Elizabeth  Marshall,  a  lady  of  singular 
good  sense  and  business  ability,  took  the  shattered  business  in  hand  and  built  it  up  with  great 
success,  supporting  the  family  and  gaining  for  them  a  position  of  independence''  (Edward 
Parrish). 

But  his  bankruptcy  was  a  sad  blow  to  Charles  Marshall  and  he  addressed  the  following 
letter  to  his  fellow  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends. 

To  the  Monthly  Meeting  of  Friends  in  Philadelphia : 
DEAR  FRIENDS  : 

To  be  in  unity  with  the  Body  of  our  religious  Society  it  is  a  reasonable  Condition  that 
the  Members  should  walk  orderly.  To  be  found  so  doing  hath  I  humbly  trust,  been  measur- 
ably my  Study  from  my  Youth  up.  By  the  Mismanagement  of  a  Concern  in  which  I  was  a 
Partner  I  have  been  reduced  from  the  Enjoyment  of  a  comfortable  Competence  to  an  In- 
ability to  pay  the  Demands  made  upon  me ;  Yet  in  the  Midst  of  my  own  and  my  dear  Fam- 
ily's Distress,  I  have  some  Consolation  in  being  able  to  reflect  that  I  have  not  intentionally 
been  the  Cause  of  my  Introduction  to  my  present  unhappy  Situation.  For  altho  I  was  im- 
properly hurried  into  a  Measure  which  I  generally  disapproved  by  giving  a  partial  Security 
to  two  of  the  Creditors  in  part  of  their  Demands,  one  of  whom  especially  was  very  pecu- 
liarly and  critically  circumstanced,  it  was  done  under  an  Impression  at  the  Time  that  the 
Debts  for  which  I  had  been  made  liable  were  greatly  short  of  what  they  were  afterwards 
discovered  to  be. 

It  would  be  a  very  great  Alleviation  of  my  present  Distress  to  look  forward  with  Hope 
and  Confidence  of  being  ever  able  to  satisfy  all  the  remaining  Claims  of  my  just  Creditors, 
but  my  advanced  Age.  bodily  Infirmities  and  present  Circumstances  forbid  the  Expectation. 
Altho  my  Prospects,  be  thus  gloomy  with  Respect  to  outward  Things,  yet  I  am  at  Times 
favoured  with  a  sustaining  Hope  that  He  whose  tender  Mercies  are  over  all  His  Works  will 
not  be  altogether  unmindful  of  your  afflicted  Friend. 

Philada,  5  Mo.  30th,  1805.  CHARLES  MARSHALL.

FROM  LETTER  BOOK  OF  CHRISTOPHER  MARSHALL 
(Reproduction,  courtesy  of  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania.) 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       351 

Elizabeth  Marshall  (1768-1836)  continued  to  manage  the  business  until  1825,  when  it  was 
sold  to  Charles  Ellis  and  Isaac  P.  Morris.  Her  brother,  Charles  Marshall,  Jr.  (1774-1837), 
was  the  only  adult  son  of  Charles  Marshall;  he  served  as  first  vice-president  of  the  College 
in  1826-1828. 

Charles  Marshall  was  an  apothecary,  druggist,  botanist  and  chemist.  It  was  in  testimony 
of  his  work  and  worth  as  a  scientist  and  leading  citizen  that,  in  spite  of  his  advanced  years, 
he  was  unanimously  chosen  to  serve  as  the  first  president  of  the  College,  and  he  gave  it  all 
his  sympathy  and  support.  He  resigned,  however,  in  1824,  and  died  the  following  year. 

Peter  Williamson 

Founder ;  Secretary  of  Meetings  for  Organization,  1821 ;  First  Vice-President,  1874 
(February  17  to  March  30). 

Peter  Williamson,  one  of  the  founders  of  the  College  and  the  Secretary  of  the  meetings 
held  in  Carpenters'  Hall  for  its  organization,  was  born  in  Philadelphia  on  September  6,  1795. 


PETER  WILLIAMSON 

Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Pennsylvania  F.  and  A.  M.,   1856-1857,  and  Grand  Treasurer  of  the 

Grand  Lodge,   1858-1871 

(From  painting  in  Masonic   Temple,   Philadelphia,  presented   by   Franklin   Lodge,   No.    134,   F.    and  A.   M.,

He  received  his  early  education  at  a  Friends'  Seminary,  and  serving  his  apprenticeship  with 
John  W.  Bryant,  at  Second  and  Pine  Streets,  he,  at  eighteen  years,  entered  into  partnership 
with  Dr.  Joseph  Klapp,  their  store  being  located  at  Second  and  Almond  Streets. 

In  1828  Mr.  Williamson  became  the  sole  proprietor,  and  in  1836,  in  order  to  accommodate 
their  increasing  trade,  especially  in  the  furnishing  of  medical  supplies  to  the  shipping  inter-

ests,  a  large  store  was  erected  at  710  South  Second  Street.  In  1845,  his  son,  Jesse,  Jr.,  be- 
came associated  with  him  in  the  business  under  the  firm  name  of  Peter  Williamson  and  Son. 
For  nearly  fifty  years,  the  Williamson  store  was  the  leading  drug  store  in  the  old  District  of 
Southwark.  In  1854  the  business  was  sold  to  James  L.  Bispham. 

Although  not  active  in  the  College  in  his  later  years,  he  was  deeply  interested  in  it  and 
was  a  frequent  attendant  of  its  meetings.  He  was  present  at  the  Fiftieth  Celebration  of 
the  College  in  1871,  and  on  this  occasion  read  the  minutes  of  the  first  meeting  which  he 
himself  had  written.  At  a  special  meeting  of  the  College  on  February  17,  1874,  he  was  hon- 
ored by  unanimous  election  to  the  office  of  first  vice-president,  to  fill  the  unexpired  term  of 
William  Procter,  Jr.,  deceased. 

On  March  30,  1874,  he  founded  the  first  scholarship  of  the  College— "The  Peter  William- 
son Scholarship,"  conveying  to  the  Trustees  the  sum  of  $500,  the  interest  of  which  was  to  be 
used  for  the  benefit  of  needy  and  deserving  students  in  defraying  their  expenses  of  instruc- 
tion. 

He  was  connected  with  many  worthy  public  enterprises,  particularly  with  reference  to  the 
development  of  the  southern  section  of  the  city.  He  was  a  founder  of  the  Southwark  Dis- 
pensary, and  was  one  of  the  corporate  members  of  the  Trinity  P.  E.  Church  of  Southwark 
and  for  twenty  years  its  Rector's  Warden.  He  was  an  ardent  Mason  having  been  made  a 
Master  Mason  by  Franklin  Lodge,  No.  134,  F.  and  A.  M.,  on  November  16,  1816,  shortly  after 
attaining  his  majority;  and  was  the  R.  W.  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Pennsyl- 
vania in  1856-1857,  and  R.  W.  Grand  Treasurer  from  1858-1871.  In  the  archives  of  the 
Masonic  Temple  of  Philadelphia  there  is  preserved  his  notebook  containing,  in  his  hand- 
writing, a  record  of  certain  Masonic  precedents. 

He  died  on  March  6,  1886,  in  his  ninety-first  year. 

Peter  Williamson  was  a  man  of  unusual  force  of  character,  and  his  genial  manner  and 
social  disposition  endeared  him  to  a  wide  circle  of  friends. 

William  Lehman 

Founder;  First  Vice-President,  1821-1824;  President,  1824-1829. 

William  Lehman,  a  founder  of  the  College,  and  its  president  from  1824  to  1829,  was  born 
in  Philadelphia  on  September  14,  1779.  He  was  descended  from  John  George  Lehman,  Farmer 
General  of  the  Revenues  and  Lands  of  the  Manor  of  Tubigen  in  the  Electorate  of  Saxony. 
His  son,  Philip  Theodore,  emigrated  to  this  country  and  became  one  of  the  secretaries  of 
William  Penn  and  in  this  capacity  wrote  the  celebrated  letter  to  the  Indians  of  Canada,  of 
June  23,  1692,  the  original  of  which  is  in  the  Capitol  at  Harrisburg.  William  Lehman's 
grandfather,  Christian  Lehman,  an  astronomer  and  mathematician,  was  a  friend  of  David 
Rittenhouse,  the  famous  astronomer.  He  devoted  himself  to  literary  and  scientific  pursuits 
and  the  grandson  inherited  similar  tastes. 

William  Lehman  was  educated  in  the  department  of  arts  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, and  then  passed  to  the  medical  school  and  graduated,  but  he  did  not  practice  medicine 
except  as  it  served  him  as  a  druggist ;  he  entered  the  drug  business  with  his  father,  George 
Lehman.  About  1802  he  opened  his  own  store  at  97  South  Second  Street,  and  a  few  years 
later  removed  to  76  South  Second  Street  (old  numbers),  below  Chestnut  Street.  He  was 
associated  in  partnership  under  the  firm  name  of  William  Lehman,  William  Smith  and  Son, 
and  later  as  Lehman  and  Smith.  This  partnership  was  dissolved  in  1819,  and  he  continued 
the  business  alone  until  1822,  when  he  entered  into  partnership  with  Algernon  S.  Roberts. 

The  records  of  the  Athenxum  of  Philadelphia  state  that  "William  Lehman  added  to 
his  paternal  fortune  by  his  success  as  a  druggist,  which  business  he  conducted  on  a  large 
scale."  He  spoke  French  and  German  fluently,  and  was  a  good  Latin  Scholar.  Several 
times  he  visited  Europe  and  left  notes  of  travel  which  attest  to  his  powers  of  observation. 

He  was  a  hard  student  analyzing  all  the  books  he  read  and  making  such  extracts  from 
them  as  he  considered  useful  and  practical,  accompanied  with  his  own  comments  or  illus- 
trations ;  which  extracts,  it  is  stated,  numbered  5,000  or  6,000. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       353 

He  made  himself  a  useful  force  in  politics,  particularly  on  the  subject  of  improving  in- 
ternal communications,  then  very  essential  to  the  progress  of  the  country,  and  much  in  the 
public  mind.  Through  the  press  he  wrote  and  at  public  meetings  he  spoke  on  this  question. 
From  the  city  councils  he  passed  to  the  Pennsylvania  Legislature  in  1814,  of  which  he  was  a 
member  for  fifteen  years,  until  his  death  at  Harrisburg  on  March  29,  1829,  a  period  during 
which  he  was  an  earnest  advocate  of  internal  waterways,  the  turnpike  and  other  public  im- 
provements. 

Upon  his  demise,  William  Lehman  left  a  bequest  of  $10,000  to  the  Philadelphia  Athenasum 
"for  the  construction  of  a  suitable  building."  In  this  association,  founded  in  1814,  he  was  deeply 
interested.  Its  reading  room  at  first  had  been  located  at  Fourth  and  Chestnut  Streets  in  a 
room  above  Matthew  Carey's  book  store.  From  this  place  its  collections  were  removed  to  an 
apartment  in  the  hall  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society  behind  the  State  House.  The 
legacy  was  prudently  invested  and  with  it  and  its  accretions  the  directors  were  enabled  to 
erect  in  1847  the  edifice  which  this  famed  institution  still  uses  on  Sixth  Street  below  Walnut 
Street. 

Daniel  B.  Smith 

Founder;  Secretary,  1821-1828;  First  Vice-President,  1828-1829;  President,  1829-1854. 

Daniel  B.  Smith,  who  was  the  third  president  of  the  College,  held  the  position  for  twenty- 
five  years,  and  was  one  of  the  most  talented  men  ever  identified  with  the  practice  of  phar- 
macy in  this  country.  He  was  a  man  of  unusual  intellectual  attainments,  satisfying  his 
scholarly  and  literary  ideals,  while  at  the  same  time  meeting  the  daily  demands  of  an  arduous 
business  life.  In  all  of  these  activities  he  achieved  an  enviable  reputation.  He  was  born  in 
Philadelphia  in  1792  of  Quaker  parents,  but  his  father  dying  in  his  infancy,  he  was  taken  to 
Burlington,  N.  J.,  where  his  youth  was  spent.  His  early  education  was  had  in  the  school 
of  John  Griscom,  a  distinguished  Quaker  educator,  from  whom  he  acquired  his  love  of 
chemical  science.  Without  further  training,  he  then  entered  John  Biddle's  drug  store  on 
Market  Street  between  F"ourth  and  Fifth  Streets  as  an  apprentice,  and  in  due  time  was  taken 
into  partnership  by  his  preceptor  under  the  firm  name  of  Biddle  and  Smith. 

In  1819,  he  opened  his  own  store  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Sixth  and  Arch  Streets,  at 
this  time  a  quiet,  secluded,  residental  section.  In  1828,  he  entered  into  partnership  with  Wil- 
liam Hodgson,  Jr.,  a  young  Quaker,  "then  fresh  from  the  store  of  John  Bell,  Oxford  Street, 
London,  where  he  had  been  associated  as  an  apprentice  with  the  since-eminent  Jacob  Bell, 
Robert  Alsop  and  Theophilus  Redwood,  all  lights  in  the  London  pharmaceutical  world" 
(Edward  Parrish). 

The  firm  name  became  Smith  and  Hodgson.  They  enlarged  their  store  and  became 
notable  manufacturers  and  wholesalers.  Many  young  men  came  to  them  for  instruction  in 
pharmacy ;  and  to  two  graduates  of  their  laboratories  and  counters,  Charles  Bullock  and  Ed- 
mund A.  Crenshaw,  they  sold  their  business  in  1849. 

Smith  educated  himself  in  so  remarkable  a  way  that  he  came  to  be  the  associate  of  many 
of  the  leading  scientific  figures  of  his  day.  He  was  an  active,  if  not  the  dominating  spirit 
in  the  founding  of  the  College,  he  was  its  first  secretary,  occupying  this  position  for  seven 
years,  when  he  became  vice-president.  The  next  year  he  was  elected  to  the  presidency, 
which  place  he  held  until  1854,  a  full  quarter  of  a  century,  during  which  time  he  played  a 
most  important  part  in  placing  the  institution  upon  a  sound  foundation.  He  was  one  of  the 
principal  sponsors  in  1825  for  the  Journal  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  con- 
tributed its  first  original  article — "Epsom  Salts  and  Magnesia."  To  him  belongs  the  credit 
of  having  established,  from  its  beginning,  the  periodical  on  a  high  scientific  and  ethical  plane. 

Wood  and  Bache  invited  him  to  be  a  collaborator  in  the  preparation  of  the  United 
States  Dispensatory,  but  after  contributing  a  few  articles  his  other  engagements  made  this 
impossible.  When,  in  1852,  the  pharmacists  of  the  country  met  in  Philadelphia  to  organize 
the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  his  distinction  was  so  great  that  he  was  unani- 
mously chosen  to  be  its  first  president. 


354       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Many  other  subjects  claimed  the  attention  of  this  public-spirited  man.  He  was  one  of 
the  organizers  of  the  Apprentices'  Library  of  Philadelphia  in  1820,  was  elected  a  member  of 
the  Franklin  Institute  immediately  after  its  organization  in  1824,  and  was  an  incorporator 
of  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania  in  1826.  He  was  also  one  of  the  incorporators 
of  the  Philadelphia  Savings  Fund,  and  of  the  House  of  Refuge.  He  was  elected  a  member 
of  the  American  Philosophical  Society  in  1829,  and  was  also  a  member  of  the  Academy  of 
Natural  Sciences. 

Born  a  Quaker,  he  kept  up  his  attachment  to  the  Society  of  Friends  and  interested  him- 
self in  its  educational  work,  particularly  at  Haverford  School  (now  Haverford  College). 
He  was  the  animating  spirit  of  the  College  from  1833  to  1843.  In  1834  he  was  elected  to  the 
chair  of  moral  philosophy,  English  literature  and  chemistry,  and  principal  in  1843.  In 
1846  he  resigned  from  Haverford  College  to  give  increased  attention  to  his  business. 

For  twelve  years  he  resided  at  Haverford,  with  pleasure  to  himself  and  benefit  to  the 
young  men  who  came  under  his  influence.  It  was  while  serving  at  this  post  that  he  wrote 
his  "Principles  of  Chemistry,"  a  text  book  which  passed  through  several  revisions.  He  re- 
tired from  active  business  in  1853  and  died  March  29,  1883,  in  his  ninety-first  year. 

Daniel  B.  Smith  was  the  "most  learned  and  public  spirited  pharmacist  of  his  day,  and 
was  remarkable  for  the  versatility  of  his  attainments,  being  a  happy  combination  of  busi- 
ness man,  philanthropist,  literary  and  scientific  scholar,  teacher,  author  and  editor,  and  in 
all  of  these  activities  he  established  an  enviable  reputation  and  won  the  admiration  of  his 
contemporaries"  (George  M.  Beringer). 


EDWARD  B.  GARRIGUES 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       355 

Edward  B.  Garrigues 

Founder;  Treasurer,  1826-1838. 

Edward  B.  Garrigues  was  born  in  Philadelphia  on  October  8,  179S;  his  great  grandfather 
was  among  the  Huguenots  who  left  France  after  the  revocation  of  the  Edict  of  Nantes  in 
1685.  The  family  name  was  De  la  Garrigue.  He  died  November  3,  1889,  and,  at  the  time  of 
his  death,  was  the  last  survivor  of  the  sixty-eight  original  members  who  founded  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Apothecaries. 

His  early  education  was  at  "West-town,"  a  school  conducted  by  the  Society  of  Friends. 
At  a  suitable  age  he  was  apprenticed  to  John  Hart,  on  Second  Street  below  Market ;  after 
serving  his  time  he  opened  a  store  on  Sixth  Street  above  Market,  and  later  at  Sixth  and 
Market  Streets,  where  he  conducted  a  successful  business  for  nearly  twenty  years.  He  then 
built  a  store  and  dwelling  at  Sixth  and  Spring  Garden  Streets,  to  which  place  he  removed 
his  business,  and  a  few  years  later  retired  temporarily  from  business.  In  1843  he  opened  a 
store  at  Tenth  and  Fairmount  Avenue,  and  continued  in  business  until  1887,  when  advancing 
age  counseled  his  retirement,  leaving  the  conduct  of  the  business  in  the  hands  of  his  partner, 
Edwin  M.  Boring. 

In  1826  he  was  elected  treasurer  of  the  College  and  served  as  such  with  conscientious 
fidelity  until  1838,  when  he  resigned. 

He  was,  also,  for  a  time  a  manager  of  the  Friends'  Asylum  for  the  Insane  at  Frank- 
ford,  a  trustee  of  Haverford  College,  and  a  school  director  of  the  old  District  of  Spring 
Garden. 

"Edward  B.  Garrigues,"  Charles  Bullock  has  written,  "was  educated  in  the  Society  of 
Friends,  and  conforming  through  a  long  life  to  the  customs  of  that  Society,  in  language  and 
apparel,  he  was  in  this  respect  the  last  of  its  numerous  members  who  have  done  honor  to 
the  business  of  druggist  and  apothecary  in  Philadelphia.  A  man  of  even  and  genial  tem- 
perament, courteous  in  address  and  pleasant  in  intercourse,  he  was  esteemed  by  all  who  knew 
him." 

Charles  Ellis 

Founder;  Secretary,  1828-1830;  Recording  Secretary,  1830-1842;  First  Vice-President, 
1842-1854;  President,  1854-1869. 

Charles  Ellis,  a  younger  brother  of  Dr.  Benjamin  Ellis,  the  second  professor  of  materia 
medica  and  pharmacy  in  the  College,  was  its  fourth  president.  He  was  born  on  January  31, 
1800,  like  his  brother,  at  Muncy,  Pa.,  one  of  several  sons  of  William  Ellis,  a  Welsh  Quaker 
landholder  who  settled  there,  and  Mercy  Ellis,  widely  known  in  the  ministry  of  the  Society 
of  Friends.  He  was  taught  carefully  at  home  and  then  proceeded  to  a  school  in  New  York. 
In  1817  he  came  to  Philadelphia  and  was  apprenticed  to  Elizabeth  Marshall,  the  talented 
daughter  of  Charles  Marshall,  the  first  president  of  the  College,  who,  at  that  time  had  the 
renowned  Marshall  drug  store,  then  on  Chestnut  Street  above  Second  Street. 

In  1825,  Charles  Ellis  and  Isaac  P.  Morris,  another  apprentice,  formed  a  copartnership, 
purchased  the  business  and  continued  it  as  Ellis  and  Morris.  In  1830  the  firm  was  dissolved, 
Mr.  Morris  withdrawing  and  Mr.  Ellis  continuing  the  business.  In  1832  William  Ellis,  a 
nephew,  became  associated  in  the  business,  the  firm  name  being  Charles  Ellis  and  Co.  The 
firm  rapidly  developed  a  large  wholesale  and  manufacturing  business,  first  establishing  a 
laboratory  in  Vidall  Court,  to  the  east  of  the  main  store  building,  and  later,  a  building  was 
erected  at  Sixth  and  Morris  Streets  for  laboratory  purposes,  and  the  drug  business  was 
removed  to  more  commodious  quarters  at  724  Market  Street.  In  1863,  there  was  a  division 
of  the  firm,  William  Ellis  continuing  the  business  at  724  Market  Street,  and  the  reorganized 
firm  of  Charles  Ellis,  Son  and  Co.,  opened  a  store  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Seventh  and 
Market  Streets,  retaining  the  laboratory  at  Sixth  and  Morris  Streets.  Subsequently,  Charles 
Ellis  erected  for  the  company  (and  its  laboratory)  a  building  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Tenth 
and  Market  Streets,  which  was  occupied  until  the  company  ceased  business  in  1875,  after 
having  had  a  signally  honorable  life  of  146  years,  first  in  the  hands  of  Christopher  Marshall 
who  founded  it  in  1729,  and  then  his  descendants  and  successors. 


356       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Charles  Ellis  was  one  of  the  sixty-eight  founders  of  the  College  and  took  the  keenest 
interest  in  it,  actively  laboring  for  its  advancement  for  over  half  a  century.  In  1828  he  was 
made  secretary,  serving  for  two  years ;  in  1830,  recording  secretary,  serving  for  twelve 
years ;  in  1842  first  vice-president,  serving  for  twelve  years ;  and  in  1854  president,  serving  for 
fifteen  years. 

He  was  much  interested,  also,  in  the  work  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  and 
contributed  a  number  of  articles  to  its  pages,  and  for  forty  years  was  a  member  of  its 
Publishing  Committee,  the  greater  part  of  the  time  as  treasurer.  He  was  one  of  the  three 
Philadelphians  who  attended  the  meeting  in  New  York,  in  1851,  to  consider  the  question  of 
drug  imports,  out  of  which  grew  the  organization  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation in  1852.  He  was  active  in  this  organization,  and  was  elected  second  vice-president  in 
1855-1856,  and  president  in  1857-1858. 

He  was  energetic  in  works  of  benevolence  and  charity,  and  for  many  years  was  a  man- 
ager of  the  Friends'  Asylum  for  Persons  Deprived  of  Their  Reason ;  the  Society  for  the 
Support  and  Establishment  of  Charity  Schools,  founded  long  before  our  free  schools  were 
known ;  the  Philadelphia  Society  for  Alleviating  the  Misery  of  Public  Prisons ;  the  Home  of 
Refuge  for  Juvenile  Delinquents;  Will's  Hospital  for  Diseases  of  Eye  and  Limbs;  the 
Orthopedic  Hospital  for  the  Cure  of  Deformities  and  Nervous  Diseases;  the  Philadelphia 
Dispensary;  the  Tract  Association  and  Bible  Society  of  the  Society  of  Friends. 

He  was  a  consistent  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  and  took  a  deep  interest  in  the 
affairs  of  this  religious  body,  and  his  voice  was  frequently  raised  in  support  of  active  evan- 
gelical works. 

Charles  Ellis  was  one  of  the  earliest  advocates  and  supporters  of  the  College,  and  con- 
tinued such  until  his  demise  in  1874.  He  performed  the  official  duties  assigned  him  with 
characteristic  dignity,  modesty  and  efficiency  during  some  of  the  most  trying  years  in  the 
history  of  the  College,  and  his  love  of  truth  and  spirit  of  brotherly  kindness  and  gentleness 
endeared  him  to  all. 

Henry  Troth 

Founder;  Second  Vice-President,  1829-1831;  First  Vice-President,  1831-1842. 

Henry  Troth,  one  of  the  most  active  of  the  founders  of  the  College,  if  the  idea  of  its 
institution  did  not  originate  in  his  fertile  brain,  was  born  September  4,  1794,  near  Easton, 
Maryland.  He  was  the  son  of  Samuel  and  Ann  Berry  Troth.  After  acquiring  such  educa- 
i  tibn  as  circumstances  permitted,  he  came  to  Philadelphia  in  1811,  where  he  apprenticed  him- 
self to  Jeremiah  Morris,  a  druggist  on  Market  Street  east  of  Seventh. 

In  1815,  being  then  nearly  twenty-one  years  of  age,  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his 
brother-in-law  Edward  Needles,  and  the  wholesale  drug  firm  of  Henry  Troth  and  Company 
was  established  on  Market  Street  (222,  old  number)  below  Seventh,  which  continued  in  the 
Troth  family  for  nearly  fifty  years.  In  1823,  Samuel  F.  Troth,  a  younger  brother,  entered  the 
firm,  and  in  1826  Samuel  purchased  the  interest  of  Edward  Needles. 

It  was  Henry  Troth  who  first  discussed  the  subject  of  a  College  of  Apothecaries  with 
Peter  K.  Lehman,  another  Market  Street  druggist,  a  cousin  of  the  better-known  William 
Lehman,  who  succeeded  Charles  Marshall  as  president  of  the  College.  From  this  conversa- 
tion came  the  meetings  in  Carpenters'  Hall. 

For  more  than  twenty  years,  Henry  Troth  was  a  leading  spirit  of  the  College,  as  well  as 
of  the  drug  trade  of  the  city,  presiding  at  the  meetings  with  dignity  and  impartiality.  He 
was  second  and  then  first  vice-president  of  the  College,  and  for  many  years,  chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees.  "He  was  seldom,  absent  from  his  post,  and  at  his  death,  in  the  summer 
of  1842,  strong  testimony  was  placed  on  the  records  of  the  College  as  to  his  high  moral 
worth,  combined  with  kindness  and  courtesy  of  manner,  and  many  estimable  traits  of  char- 
acter." (Edward  Parrish.) 

He  was  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends  and  for  many  years  treasurer  of  the  Penn- 
sylvania Society  for  the  Abolition  of  Slavery.  He  was  a  manager  of  the  Children's  Asylum, 
the  Almshouse,  the  Provident  Society,  and  the  Schuylkill  Navigation  Company;  and  also, 
one  of  the  Guardians  of  the  Poor,  a  trustee  of  Girard  College  and  a  founder  of  the  House 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       357 

of  Refuge,  and  the  Apprentices'  Library;  and  was  active  in  many  philanthropic,  business  and 
scientific  organizations. 

Henry  Troth  was  one  of  the  most  progressive  citizens  of  Philadelphia  of  his  day,  as  the 
record  of  his  service  as  a  member  of  the  common  council  of  the  city  of  Philadelphia  (1824- 
1833),  and  its  president,  and  elsewhere,  shows.  He  fought  most  earnestly  for  the  introduc- 
tion into  use  of  illuminating  gas  for  lighting  the  city,  and  also,  for  anthracite  or  "stone  coal," 
and  many  other  civic  improvements,  and  no  difficulties  drove  him  from  his  path  and  no 
disappointment  diminished  the  firmness  of  his  determination  to  accomplish  it.  His  hope 
was  ever  high  and  he  had  the  faculty  of  infusing  it  into  all  within  his  circle. 

Elias  Durand 

Corresponding  Secretary,  1831-1843 ;  Second  Vice-President,  1843-1845. 

Elias  Durand  was  born  in  Mayenne,  France,  January  25,  1794,  the  second  year  of  the 
French  Republic,  in  the  midst  of  the  most  trying  times  of  the  Reign  of  Terror,  and  was  the 
youngest  of  fourteen  children.  His  father  was  Andre  Durand,  Recorder  of  Deeds  of 
Mayenne.  His  early  education  was  obtained  in  the  schools  of  his  native  town. 

In  1808  he  commenced  the  study  of  pharmacy  under  the  famous  M.  Chevallier,  and  in 
1812  attended  lectures  in  Paris.  He  then  became  pharmacicn  or  aid  in  the  Pharmaceutical 
Department  of  the  French  Army  (1813),  and  served  with  the  Fifth  Corps  at  the  battles  of 
Lutzen,  Bautzen,  Hanau,  Katzbach  and  Leipsic. 

Upon  the  downfall  of  Napoleon,  he  left  France  and  arrived  at  New  York,  July  1,  1816. 
After  a  few  months,  he  came  to  Philadelphia  and  took  charge  of  a  chemical  laboratory  at 
Broad  and  Race  Streets.  In  preparing  mercurial  salts  his  health  became  impaired  and  he 
went  to  Baltimore  as  an  employee  of  E.  Ducatel.  In  1825  he  returned  to  Philadelphia  and 
leased  a  house  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Chestnut  and  Sixth  Streets  (the  site  of  the  present 
Public  Ledger  building),  for  a  consideration  of  $500,  on  a  ten  years'  lease,  and  opened  a 
drug  store,  fitting  it  up  at  considerable  expense,  using  French  glassware,  porcelain  jars, 
mahogany  drawers,  marble  counters,  etc.  It  was  quite  the  handsomest  drug  store  in  the 
Quaker  City,  and  he  had  many  novelties  in  drugs  and  chemicals,  and  an  apparatus  for  making 
and  vending  carbonic  acid  water. 

In  1835  Durand  first  introduced  the  bottling  of  mineral  water,  opening  a  large  estab- 
lishment on  Sixth  Street  above  Arch.  The  apparatus,  especially  that  part  of  it  for  bottling 
under  pressure,  was  of  his  own  invention,  and  superior  to  any  other  in  use  in  France.  Later, 
he  sent  it  to  the  Societe  de  Pharmacie,  and  it  was  adopted  for  use  in  Paris.  "At  the  period 
when  Durand  opened  his  store,"  William  Procter,  Jr.,  has  stated:  "French  Pharmacy  stood 
confessedly  by  far  in  advance  of  that  of  all  other  countries,  whilst  his  thorough  education 
and  recent  visit  to  France  for  stock,  etc.,  gave  him  such  great  advantages  that  his  store 
became  an  important  center  of  pharmaceutical  information,  which  directly  and  indirectly,  had 
much  to  do  with  the  introduction  of  scientific  pharmacy  into  Philadelphia,  and  through  this 
College,  its  Journal  and  graduates,  into  the  United  States.  Many  of  the  finer  medicinal 
chemicals  were  made  in  this  country  first  by  Durand,  which  gave  him  prestige,  and  his  great 
skill  as  a  pharmacist,  his  untiring  industry,  close  attention  to  business  and  social  and  scien- 
tific qualities,  attracted  the  most  eminent  physicians  to  his  store.  The  writer  gratefully  re- 
members when,  in  early  life,  he  was  engaged  in  investigations  under  great  disadvantages 
for  want  of  accurate  instruments,  his  friend  Durand  imported  a  set  of  French  metrical 
weights  and  presented  them  to  him  with  a  word  of  encouragement."  (Amcr.  Jour.  Phar., 
1873,  513.) 

Durand  became  a  member  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1825,  then  cor- 
responding secretary  (1831-1843),  and  then  second  vice-president  (1843-1845).  In  1840  when 
the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  was  invited  to  assist  in  the  revision  of  the  U.  S. 
Pharmacopoeia,  Durand  was  one  of  the  College  committee  and  contributed  valuable  labor  and 
counsel.  He  was  deeply  interested  in  scientific  pharmacy  and  botany ;  contributing  many 
original  articles  to  the  earlier  volumes  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy.  Valuable 


358       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

contributions  to  American  Pharmacy  came  from  Durand's  store  also,  through  Augustine  J.  L. 
Duhamel,  a  protege  of  Durand,  for  many  years  his  chief  clerk.  The  process  of  displacement 
or  percolation,  for  example,  was  first  introduced  into  this  country  by  Duhamel.  (Amer.  Jour. 
Phar.,  Vols.  VI  to  XVIII.) 

Durand  was  well  acquainted  with  the  flora  of  North  America.  About  the  year  1858 
he  presented  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  an  herbarium  of  12,000  specimens, 
which  formed  the  nucleus  of  the  present  general  herbarium  of  the  College.  Later,  he  gath- 
ered an  herbarium  of  over  100,000  specimens,  covering  12,000  species  of  plants,  which  he 
presented  to  the  Museum  of  the  Jardin  des  Plantes  of  Paris,  in  1868.  The  gift  was  much 
appreciated,  arranged  in  a  special  gallery  and  named  "Herbia  Durand." 

In  1829,  in  connection  with  Dr.  Togno,  he  translated  and  published  Edwards  and  Vavas- 
seur's  Manual  of  Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy,  to  which  he  made  many  additions  of  a 
pharmaceutical  character,  before  the  publication  of  the  United  States  Dispensatory. 


ELIAS  DURAND 

He  wrote  memoirs  of  Dr.  Thomas  Nuttall,  the  English  botanist,  Dr.  Kane,  the  arctic 
explorer,  and  Andre  Michaux,  the  botanical  explorer  who  bequeathed  a  large  sum  of  money 
for  establishing  the  park  of  American  forest  trees,  now  known  as  the  Michaux  Grove,  in 
Fairmount  Park,  Philadelphia.  He  also  wrote  descriptions  of  plants  collected  in  California 
by  Lieutenant  R.  S.  Williamson,  in  California  and  Nevada  by  Mr.  Pratten,  and  in  the  arctic 
regions  by  Dr.  Kane,  and  contributed  to  the  Linnean  Society  of  Bordeau,  France,  an  ex- 
haustive paper  on  the  vines  and  wines  of  North  America. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society  (and  one  of  the  curators), 
the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences,  the  Societe  de  Pharmacie  de  Paris,  the  American  Pharma- 
ceutical Association,  the  Societe  d'  Acclimatation  de  Paris,  the  Societe  '  Linneen  de  Bordeau,

the  Buffalo  Society  of  Natural  Sciences,  the  Linnean  Society  of  Lancaster,  and  other  scien- 
tific societies. 

"Durand's  social  and  scientific  qualities,"  Procter  has  written,  "endeared  him  to  all  who 
came  in  close  contact  with  him.  He  was  a  man  of  generous  impulses,  and  his  private  chari- 
ties were  numerous.  He  died  August  14,  1873,  at  his  late  residence  on  South  Broad  Street, 
Philadelphia,  honored  and  respected  by  all  who  knew  him."  (Amer.  Jour.  Phar.,  1873,  508.) 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  of  September  29,  1873, 
Alfred  B.  Durand,  son  of  Elias  Durand,  presented  an  oil  painting  of  his  father  painted 
expressly  for  presentation  to  the  College,  and  considered  to  be  a  most  excellent  like- 
ness. The  gift  was  accepted  with  the  thanks  of  the  College,  "representing,  as  it  does,  faith- 
fully, one  of  our  oldest  and  most  valuable  members"  (Minutes  of  the  College,  Amer.  Jour. 
Phar.,  1873,  508).  It  now  hangs  in  the  library  of  the  College  and  the  fine  personality  that 
looks  out  from  the  painting,  almost  as  if  to  speak,  evinces  unusual  force  of  character  and 
ability. 


Treasurer,    1838-1842 ;    Second 


Samuel  F.  Troth 

Vice-President,    1845-1854;    First    Vice-President,    1854- 


1867. 

Samuel  Fothergill  Troth,  younger  brother  of  Henry  Troth,  was  born  May  7,  1801,  near 
Easton,  Maryland.     Coming  to  Philadelphia  as  a  boy  of  fifteen  to  visit  his  brother,  he  was 


SAMUEL  F.  TROTH 


persuaded  to  remain  as  an  apprentice  in  the  business  house  of  Henry  Troth  and  Co.  He 
attended  the  first  course  of  lectures  in  the  College  (1821-1822),  and  also  the  second  course 
(1822-1823). 


360       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Soon  after  attaining  his  majority  he  became  a  partner  in  his  brother's  firm.  A  few  years 
later  Edward  Needles  withdrew  from  the  business,  and  established  a  store  of  his  own  at 
Twelfth  and  Race  Streets,  then  out  among  the  open  fields,  and  the  brothers  Troth  were  left 
alone  in  the  Market  Street  store.  They  turned  to  the  wholesale  trade.  Their  laboratories 
and  warehouses  must  be  enlarged  and  they  erected  a  five  story  building,  Xo.  224  (now  630) 
Market  Street,  to  accommodate  their  growing  needs.  This  is  said  to  have  been  the  first  five 
story  building  on  Market  Street  used  exclusively  by  a  business  firm  and  its  erection  caused 
much  comment.  After  Henry  Troth's  death  in  1842,  Samuel  conducted  the  business  alone  until 
a  partnership  was  formed  with  his  nephew,  William  P.  Troth,  as  Samuel  F.  Troth  and  Co. 
In  1853  the  condition  of  his  health  induced  his  retirement  from  active  work. 

He  was  elected  a  member  of  the  College  in  1822 ;  treasurer  from  1838  to  1842 ;  second 
vice-president  from  1845  to  1854 ;  and  first  vice-president  from  1854  to  1867.  Mr.  Troth  was 
of  particular  value  to  the  College  in  the  financial  adjustments  which  ensued  upon  the  erection 
of  the  hall  on  Zane  Street,  and  which  cleared  the  way  for  the  removal  to  Tenth  Street, 
being  treasurer  of  the  Sinking  Fund  Committee  appointed  in  1844.  Of  him  Edward  Parrish 
has  said:  "Justice  requires  that  the  name  of  Samuel  F.  Troth  should  go  on  record  as  the 
man  through  whose  energy  and  persistence  for  twenty-three  years,  we  came  safely  through 
the  embarrassment  created  by  building  on  Zane  Street." 

He  died  in  1886  at  his  home,  1019  Cherry  Street,  near  the  College  building. 

The  dignified  simplicity  of  Samuel  F.  Troth's  manner,  the  open  and  cheerful  expression 
of  his  countenance,  which  evinced  the  kindly  sentiments  of  his  heart,  gained  the  confidence 
of  all  who  sought  his  counsel  and  endeared  him  to  many,  and  while  a  consistent  member  of 
the  Society  of  Friends,  he  ever  manifested  an  unsecterian  interest  for  those  holding  the  doc- 
trines of  the  Christian  Church. 


JOSEPH  C.  TURNPENNY 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       361 

Joseph  C.  Turnpenny 

Treasurer,  1842-1850;  Corresponding  Secretary,  1850-1855. 

Joseph  C.  Turnpenny,  son  of  John  and  Tabitha  Turnpenny,  was  born  in  Sheffield,  Eng- 
land, September  28,  1812  and  died  June  15,  1892.  He  came  to  this  country  at  an  early  age 
and  received  his  elementary  education  at  the  school  of  the  Society  of  Friends  of  Philadel- 
phia on  Pine  Street  near  Second. 

In  1828  he  was  apprenticed  to  Henry  M.  Zollickoffer  at  Sixth  and  Pine  Streets.  He 
graduated  from  the  College  with  the  class  of  1833,  and  went  into  business  the  following  year, 
at  the  corner  of  Tenth  and  Spruce  Streets.  In  1864  he  retired  from  business  being  suc- 
ceeded by  Samuel  S.  Bunting. 

In  1834  he  actively  identified  himself  with  the  work  of  the  College,  and  for  over  a  half 
a  century  faithfully  served  his  Alma  Mater.  He  was  treasurer  from  1842-1852,  correspond- 
ing secretary  from  1850-1855,  and  also,  for  a  number  of  years,  was  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees.  He  was  the  author,  or  joint  author  with  A.  J.  L.  Duhamel,  or  with  William 
Procter,  Jr.,  of  a  number  of  papers  on  practical  pharmaceutical  subjects. 

"Joseph  C.  Turnpenny,"  Charles  Bullock  has  stated:  "as  a  member  of  the  Society  of 
Friends  maintained  through  life  their  customs  of  dress  and  address.  For  many  years  he 
was  an  active  member  of  many  of  the  charitable  institutions  of  the  city,  and  devoted  much 
time  to  the  alleviation  of  the  necessities  of  the  poor  and  suffering.  His  long  service  on  the 
Board  of  Managers  of  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital — his  painting  hangs  on  the  walls  of  that 
institution — terminated  only  with  his  life.  Affable  in  his  disposition  and  courteous  in  his 
address,  carefully  correct  in  all  his  business  transactions,  he  leaves  an  honored  name  on  the 
roll  of  the  deceased  members  of  the  College." 

Dillwyn  Parrish 

Recording  Secretary,  1842-1854;  Second  Vice-President,  1854-1868;  First  Vice-President, 
1868-1869 ;  President,  1869-1885. 

Dillwyn  Parrish,  the  fifth  president  of  the  College,  was  a  son  of  Dr.  Joseph  Parrish,  the 
distinguished  Quaker  physician  and  philanthropist  of  Philadelphia,  and  a  brother  of  Edward 
Parrish,  professor  of  materia  medica  in  the  College  (1864-1867),  and  later,  professor  of 
pharmacy  (1867-1872).  He  was  born  in  1809.  At  an  early  age  he  was  placed  in  the  Marshall 
drug  store,  lately  come  into  the  hands  of  Ellis  and  Morris.  Attending  lectures  in  the  Col- 
lege, he  was  graduated  from  it  in  the  class  of  1830.  He  was  now  twenty-one  years  old  and 
ready  to  embark  in  business  for  himself.  He  opened  a  store  at  Eighth  and  Arch  Streets, 
where  he  was  located  for  many  years.  It  was  at  this  place  that  his  brother  Edward  con- 
ducted the  School  of  Practical  Pharmacy  for  medical  students  upon  the  removal  of  that 
school  from  Ninth  and  Chestnut  Streets. 

He  was  elected  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College  in  1833,  became  recording  secre- 
tary in  1842,  second  vice-president  in  1854,  and  first  vice-president  in  1868.  Having  taken  a 
very  active  part  in  the  labor  which  attended  the  erection  of  the  building  in  1868  on  Tenth 
Street  he,  upon  Charles  Ellis's  retirement  in  1869,  was  elected  to  the  presidency  of  the  Col- 
lege. He  continued  in  this  position  until  March  30,  1885,  when  the  increasing  infirmities  of 
a  ripe  old  age  made  his  resignation  a  necessity,  and  he  retired  with  the  deep  regret  of  his  col- 
leagues, who  realized  in  full  measure  the  value  of  the  calm,  quiet  dignity  and  strength  of 
character  he  displayed  in  the  execution  of  his  official  duties. 

Dillwyn  Parrish  retired  from  active  business  at  the  outbreak  of  the  Civil  War,  and  de- 
voted the  rest  of  his  life  to  useful  public  undertakings,  an  interest  which  he  had  not  neglected 
in  earlier  life.  He  was  a  director  and  member  of  the  Board  of  Corporation  of  the  Woman's 
Medical  College,  a  founder  of  the  Orthopedic  Hospital,  and  a  trustee  of  the  Grandom  Fund 
for  supplying  coal  to  the  deserving  poor  and  a  member  of  several  minor  charitable  organiza- 
tions. Like  his  father  he  was  deeply  outraged  by  the  evils  of  negro  slavery,  and  many  poor 
black  fugitives  on  the  "underground  railroad"  were  helped  forward  by  him  and  the  mem- 


362       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

bers  of  his  family.  He  died  at  his  home  at  1017  Cherry  Street,  the  house  adjoining  that  of 
Samuel  F.  Troth,  on  September  17,  1886,  leaving  two  sons,  Joseph  Parrish,  a  member  of  the 
Philadelphia  Bar,  and  Stephen  Parrish,  an  accomplished  artist,  the  father  of  Maxfield  Parrish, 
even  better  known  in  the  world  of  art. 

William  Hodgson,  Jr. 

Corresponding  Secretary,  1843-1850. 

William  Hodgson,  Jr.,  was  born  in  Sheffield,  England,  May  25,  1804.  In  1821  he  was  ap- 
prenticed to  John  Bell,  of  Oxford  Street,  London,  from  whose  shop  so  many  eminent  British 
pharmacists  have  graduated.  Here  he  remained  for  nearly  six  years.  He  then  came  to 
America,  arriving  in  Philadelphia  in  the  early  part  of  1827.  In  1828  he  entered  into  partner- 
ship with  Daniel  B.  Smith,  a  connection  that  lasted  for  more  than  a  score  of  years. 

Both  Smith  and  Hodgson  were  members  of  the  Society  of  Friends  and  their  store  at 
Sixth  and  Arch  Streets  was  the  general  rendezvous  for  the  members  of  that  society.  This 
store  with  a  few  others,  was  patronized  by  the  most  eminent  physicians  of  the  city  such  as : 
George  B.  Wood,  Franklin  Bache,  Casper  Wistar,  Chas.  Evans,  Joseph  Parrish,  Samuel 
Jackson  and  many  others,  because  of  the  unusual  care  it  exercised  in  the  compounding  of 
prescriptions  and  the  preparation  of  medicinal  compounds. 

William  Hodgson,  Jr.,  was  one  of  the  most  skilled  pharmacists  of  his  day,  the  result  of 
natural  ability  and  the  skilled  training  he  had  received  at  the  hands  of  one  of  England's  most 
famous  pharmacists — John  Bell. 

He  took  a  deep  interest  in  the  College,  being  a  member  for  fifty  years  (1828-1878),  a 
trustee,  and  later,  corresponding  secretary  (1843-1850).  He  insisted  upon  all  his  clerks  at- 
tending the  College,  and  finally,  to  graduate.  Many  of  these  became  prominent  in  the  phar- 
maceutical world,  among  such  being  Thomas  H.  Powers,  Ambrose  Smith,  William  J.  Jenks, 
Charles  Bullock  and  Edward  A.  Crenshaw. 

After  Smith  and  Hodgson  sold  their  drug  business  to  Bullock  and  Crenshaw  in  1849, 
"the  firm  embarked  in  the  manufacture  of  chemicals  in  a  large  way,  but  this  enterprise  was 
not  a  success  and  Mr.  Hodgson  returned  again  to  the  retail  drug  business,  locating  at  the 
northeast  corner  of  Tenth  and  Arch  Streets"  (William  J.  Jenks).  He  retired  altogether 
from  business  in  1867,  and  died  December  24,  1878. 

Ambrose  Smith 

Treasurer,  1850-1871. 

Ambrose  Smith  was  born  in  Philadelphia  on  August  8,  1815.  He  received  his  early  edu- 
cation in  the  Friends'  School,  and  was  subsequently  apprenticed  to  learn  the  drug  and  apothe- 
cary business  with  his  cousin  Daniel  B.  Smith. 

After  completing  his  apprenticeship,  he  graduated  at  the  College  in  1834,  and  was  ad- 
mitted as  a  partner  in  the  firm  of  Smith  and  Hodgson. 

He  retired  from  this  firm  and  formed  a  partnership  with  Henry  W.  Worthington  for 
the  manufacture  of  prussiate  of  potash.  He  afterwards  engaged  in  business  at  the  corner 
of  Seventh  and  Chestnut  Streets,  where  he  remained  for  twenty  years.  Subsequently  he 
removed  his  business  to  Broad  and  Chestnut  Streets,  where  he  remained  a  few  years  and  then 
retired  from  business. 

For  nearly  half  a  century  Ambrose  Smith  was  a  member  of  the  College  (1838-1884). 
He  was  elected  treasurer  of  the  College  in  1850,  a  position  he  held  for  over  twenty  years. 
During  this  period  there  was  entailed  on  him  more  than  usual  labor,  incidental  to  the  erection 
of  the  College  building  on  Tenth  Street. 

"Ambrose  Smith,"  Joseph  P.  Remington  has  written,  "was  faithful  to  all  trusts  confided 
to  him ;  quiet  and  unassuming  in  his  manner,  he  endeared  himself  to  all  his  friends  by  his 
strict  integrity  and  sterling  worth." 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       363 

Charles  Bullock 

Recording  Secretary,  1864-1873;  First  Vice-President,  1874-1885;  President,  1885-1900. 

Charles  Bullock,  the  sixth  president  of  the  College,  was  a  son  of  John  Bullock,  a  de- 
scendant of  an  English  Quaker  who  came  to  America  early  in  the  eighteenth  century,  and 
Rachael,  a  sister  of  the  well-known  and  distinguished  pioneer  of  this  country,  John  Griscom, 
famous  as  a  teacher  of  chemistry.  John  Bullock,  the  father  of  Charles,  conducted  a  school 
in  Wilmington,  Del.  There  the  son  was  born  in  1826.  As  a  boy  he  fell  under  the  influence 
of  his  famous  uncle,  and  imbibed  his  love  of  chemistry,  and  after  spending  a  short  time  at 
Haverford  College,  he  quite  naturally  in  1844  began  an  apprenticeship  in  the  drug  business 
with  Smith  and  Hodgson,  for  Daniel  B.  Smith  was  now  a  teacher  at  Haverford,  and  Smith 
himself  had  been  an  old  student  of  Griscom's.  Bullock  was  graduated  from  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  in  1847. 

In  1849  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his  friend  and  fellow  apprentice,  Edmund  A.  Cren- 
shaw,  taking  over  the  business  of  his  preceptors,  Smith  and  Hodgson,  which  became  Bullock 
and  Crenshaw,  a  firm  with  a  trade  that  reached  important  proportions.  The  house  en- 
joyed an  enviable  reputation  for  fifty  years  as  wholesale  druggists  and  manufacturers  of 
Pharmaceuticals  and  chemicals,  and  dealers  in  laboratory  apparatus,  which  were  sold  over  all 
the  United  States.  Retaining  a  retail  pharmaceutical  department,  the  firm  continued  the  old 
custom  of  receiving  and  instructing  apprentices.  In  1900,  it  was  alleged  that  in  all  probability 
no  house  has  acted  as  preceptor  to  so  many  students  and  graduates  of  the  College  as  Smith 
and  Hodgson  and  their  successors  Bullock  and  Crenshaw,  which  together  covered  a  period  of 
eighty  years  in  the  life  of  the  institution. 

He  became  a  member  of  the  College  in  1849,  its  recording  secretary  in  1864,  first  vice- 
president  in  1874  and  president  in  1885,  serving  until  his  demise  on  March  21,  1900. 

He  joined  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1857  and  was  its  recording  secre- 
tary for  two  years  (1857-1859)  ;  at  the  meeting  of  the  Association  in  Philadelphia  in  1876 
he  was  elected  its  president.  He  was  a  member,  also,  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society, 
of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences,  and  of  the  Franklin  Institute,  being  at  different  times 
its  curator,  vice-president  and  president. 

Charles  Bullock  was  the  contemporary  of  Parrish,  Procter  and  Maisch  and  was  fre- 
quently associated  with  them  in  the  scientific  work  that  has  added  so  much  luster  to  American 
pharmacy  and  honor  to  the  College.  His  investigation  of  the  alkaloids  of  Veratrum  Viride 
was  especially  noteworthy.  He  represented  in  his  person  the  finest  principles  and  traditions 
of  his  Alma  Mater  and  his  self-sacrificing  labor  for  her  has  been  of  potent  value  in  furthering 
her  development. 

Samuel  S.  Bunting 

Treasurer,  1871-1889. 

Samuel  S.  Bunting,  son  of  Josiah  and  Sarah  S.  Bunting,  was  born  in  Philadelphia,  on 
April  23,  1828.  His  family  were  among  the  early  Quaker  settlers  of  Pennsylvania,  who,  since 
their  arrival  from  England,  have  been  residents  and  landowners  for  several  generations  near 
Darby,  in  Delaware  County. 

He  received  his  elementary  education  at  the  Friends'  Monthly  Meeting  School  at  Darby. 

When  seventeen  years  of  age,  he  became  apprenticed  to  Joseph  C.  Turnpenny,  at  Tenth 
and  Spruce  Streets,  to  learn  the  "drug  and  apothecary  business." 

He  graduated  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1850,  and  a  few  years  later 
became  a  partner  in  the  business  with  Mr.  Turnpenny,  and  in  1864  purchased  his  interest. 
He  became  a  member  of  the  College  in  1855,  and  the  following  year  was  elected  a  trustee, 
serving  in  that  capacity  until  his  demise  (1890).  In  1871  he  was  chosen  treasurer  of  the 
College,  and  continued  as  such  until  November,  1889,  when  failing  health  caused  him  to 
resign. 

In  1886,  he  retired  from  business,  and  lived  a  quiet  life  at  his  home  in  Delaware  County, 
but  continued  to  manifest  an  active  interest  in  the  affairs  of  the  College.

SAMUEI 


BUNTING 

"Samuel  S.  Bunting,"  Charles  Bullock  has  written,  "was  a  man  of  unassuming  manner,  his 
diffidence  and  modesty  obscuring  his  real  worth.  His  sterling  integrity  and  faithful  per- 
formance of  his  duties  have  left  their  record  with  all  who  have  had  relations  with  him ;  and 
the  quiet  and  even  tenor  of  his  life,  in  its  simplicity,  has  left  with  us  a  pleasant  memorial  of 
one  of  the  oldest  and  most  valued  members  of  the  College." 

William  J.  Jenks 

Recording  Secretary,  1873-1885;  Second  Vice-President,  1885-1897;  First  Vice-President, 
1897-1904;  President,  1900-1900. 

William  J.  Jenks  was  a  descendant  of  a  Quaker  pioneer  who  settled  in  this  country, 
and  was  the  seventh  president  of  the  College.  He  was  born  on  March  30,  1822,  near  New- 
town,  Pa.  His  father  was  a  county  judge  and  for  a  time  a  member  of  Congress  from  Bucks 
County.  Mr.  Jenks  attended  the  school  of  John  Bullock,  father  of  Charles  Bullock,  at  Wil- 
mington, Del.  In  1838,  at  the  age  of  sixteen,  he  came  to  Philadelphia  and  apprenticed  himself 
to  Smith  and  Hodgson.  Under  their  preceptorship,  he  entered  the  College,  from  which  he 
was  graduated  in  1842  in  the  class  with  Edward  Parrish.  For  a  time  he  was  in  the  employ 
of  Smith  and  Hodgson,  but  in  1845  he  formed  a  partnership  with  his  friend,  Charles  S. 
Ogden,  and  they  engaged  in  the  wholesale  drug  business  at  160  North  Third  Street. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  War,  financial  embarrassment  overtook  the  firm,  and  a  new 
partnership  with  Elwood  Middleton,  as  Jenks  and  Middleton,  was  then  formed.  Finding 
that  conditions  in  the  jobbing  business  were  no  longer  satisfactory,  he  removed,  in  1887,  to 
4043-4045  Market  Street,  where  he  devoted  himself  to  the  retail  drug  trade  until  his  demise 
on  October  21,  1904. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       365 

He  became  a  member  of  the  College  in  1846  and  served  it  with  rare  fidelity  for  fifty- 
eight  years  as  a  member  and  chairman  (1897-1897)  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  secretary  of 
the  College,  second  vice-president  and  first  vice-president.  Upon  the  death  of  Charles  Bullock 
in  1900,  he  was  elected  to  the  presidency  in  appreciation  of  his  long  years  of  service,  but  he 
was  approaching  eighty  years  of  age,  and  he  resigned  almost  immediately,  whereupon  Howard 
B.  French  was  elected  to  succeed  him. 

Mr.  Jenks's  sympathy  with  students  as  chairman  of  the  committee  on  examination  for 
many  years,  and  his  lovable  personality  endeared  him  to  all. 

As  has  been  said  of  William  J.  Jenks,  "his  always  pleasant,  smiling,  happy  countenance 
during  the  examinations  proved  an  inspiration  to  many  a  student  nervous  over  the  finals, 
and  restored  confidence  and  natural  ability.  Many  are  today  cherishing  the  memory  of  the 
'Grand  Old  Man'  and  his  reassuring  smile,  who  happened  along  with  a  pleasant  word  of 
encouragement  just  at  the  right  time"  (George  M.  Beringer).  And  with  his  sunshiny  dis- 
position, he  was  also  reserved,  thoughtful  and  considerate  of  others,  while  his  friendliness, 
sincerity  and  good  judgment  won  for  him  universal  confidence  and  respect. 

William  B.  Thompson 

Recording  Secretary,  1885-1899. 

William  B.  Thompson  was  born  September  11,  1831,  and  died  December  7,  1906.  His 
father  was  Judge  John  Thompson  of  Philadelphia. 


WILLIAM  B.  THOMPSON 

The  son  was  educated  in  the  private  academy  of  Thomas  James,  and  in  1848  entered 
the  employ  of  Edward  and  Charles  Yarnall,  whose  place  of  business  was  on  Market  Street 
near  Second,  and  had  been  established  in  1819.  He  matriculated  at  the  College  in  1848,  but 
pressure  of  business  prevented  the  completion  of  the  course. 


366       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

In  1856  he  established  himself  in  business  at  Seventeenth  and  Mt.  Vernon  Streets,  and 
for  thirty  years  did  a  remunerative  business.  He  then  disposed  of  his  store,  and  became 
interested  with  Edward  C.  Jones  in  the  wholesale  drug  business  at  Fifteenth  and  Market 
Streets.  After  a  limited  period  this  connection  was  dissolved,  and  he  took  service  with 
John  Wyeth  and  Brother,  with  whom  he  rilled  a  highly  responsible  position  until  his  death 
(December  7,  1906). 

He  was  deeply  interested  in  the  welfare  of  the  College,  becoming  a  member,  in  1858. 
For  nineteen  years  he  was  a  trustee,  and  for  fourteen  years  (1885-1899)  the  recording 
secretary. 

He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  for  fifty  years  (1856- 
1906).  He  was  associated  with  the  Charity  Hospital  of  Philadelphia  as  its  secretary  and 
treasurer  for  twenty  six  years,  and  for  a  time  was  treasurer  of  the  Philadelphia  Association 
of  Retail  Druggists. 

William  B.  Thompson  had  a  ready  pen  and  contributed  numerous  articles  to  pharma- 
ceutical periodicals,  especially  on  pharmaceutical  ethics;  one  of  his  maxims  being:  "Busi- 
ness Logic :  Poor  drugs — poor  result.  Poor  result — poor  reputation.  Poor  reputation — 
poor  business." 

Howard  B.  French 

Second  Vice-President,  1897-1900;   President,  1900-1921. 

Howard  Barclay  French,  eighth  president  of  the  College,  was  born  in  1848  in  Salem, 
Ohio.  His  father,  Samuel  H.  French,  was  a  native  of  New  Jersey  to  which  colony  his 
Quaker  ancestors  had  come,  as  early  as  1680;  his  mother  was  Angelina  (Dunseth)  French. 
Mr.  French  was  educated  in  the  Friends'  Schools.  For  three  years  he  was  an  apprentice 
in  the  drug  store  of  William  B.  Webb,  attended  the  lectures  of  the  College,  and  graduated  in 
pharmacy  as  of  1870. 

He  then  entered  the  employ  of  his  father's  firm,  French,  Richards  and  Co.,  wholesale 
druggists  and  paint  manufacturers.  In  1883  the  two  branches  of  the  business  were  separated, 
Howard  B.,  with  his  brother,  William  H.,  joined  with  their  father,  Samuel  H.  French,  and 
John  L.  Longstreth,  their  firm  taking  over  the  paint  department,  and  being  known  as 
Samuel  H.  French  and  Co.,  of  which  since  1901  Howard  B.  has  been  the  sole  member. 
The  Smith,  Kline  and  French  Company  was  the  successor  of  the  old  firm  in  the  drug  line. 

He  was  elected  to  the  board  of  trustees  of  the  College  in  1872,  and  became  the  second 
vice-president  in  1897,  from  which  office,  at  Mr.  Bullock's  death  in  1900  and  Mr.  Jenk's 
resignation  after  election  to  the  place,  he  was  elected  president. 

In  the  affairs  of  the  College  he  had  been  very  active  as  a  trustee,  especially  in  connec- 
tion with  erection  of  the  new  buildings  on  Tenth  Street  and  the  equipment  of  the  enlarged 
building  in  1892-1893.  He  was  chairman  of  the  committee  which  had  charge  of  this  important 
work,  and  it  was  under  this  administration  that  the  new  laboratory  building  was  later 
erected  on  the  old  Aimwell  School  property  on  Cherry  Street.  His  interest  in  the  cele- 
bration of  the  centenary  of  the  College  was  expressed  by  the  formulation  of  plans  for 
exercises  a  long  time  in  advance  of  the  event.  His  labors  looking  to  the  procurement  of 
a  site  for  new  College  buildings,  and  his  zeal  and  industry  throughout  a  long  period,  in 
bringing  the  College  into  active  relationship  with  the  public  life  of  the  city,  bear  testimony 
to  his  interest  in  the  institution. 

Mr.  French's  connection  with  the  business  and  civic  organizations  of  Philadelphia, 
and  in  larger  fields,  have  been  numerous  and  various.  Of  several  of  these  he  has  been 
president.  Many  improvements  with  which  he  has  been  identified,  have  had  for  their  aim 
the  improvement  of  life  for  the  public,  such  as  the  work  of  building  recreation  piers  on 
the  Delaware  River  front  of  the  city;  the  extension  of  foreign  trade  of  the  country  through 
the  Commercial  Museum  of  Philadelphia,  of  which  he  is  a  vice-president  and  the  deepening 
of  the  internal  waterways.  He  has  been  active  also  in  a  number  of  organizations  designed  to 
give  the  city  better  government.  As  an  officer  and  former  president  of  the  Philadelphia 
Chamber  of  Commerce;  a  member  of  the  State  Board  of  Charities  by  appointment  of  the 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       367 

Governor  of  Pennsylvania;  president  of  the  Equitable  Trust  Company  for  a  number  of 
years,  and  an  officer  of  other  financial  institutions  of  Philadelphia,  in  addition  to  the  en- 
grossing engagements  of  his  own  business,  his  life  has  been  one  of  exceptional  activity. 

He  has  always  taken  a  deep  interest  in  the  landed  affairs  and  early  history  of  New 
Jersey  as  a  member  of  the  Council  of  Proprietors  which  holds  the  right  of  proprietorship 
in  unlocated  lands.  This  right  of  proprietorship  has  succeeded  from  one  generation  to 
another  for  two  hundred  and  forty  years. 

The  names  of  few  Philadelphians  have  been  better  known  in  connection  with  enter- 
prises bound  up  with  the  welfare  of  his  city  and  state  than  Howard  B.  French,  while  his 
constructive  work  for  his  Alma  Mater  will  be  held  in  lasting  remembrance. 

Charles  A.  Weidemann 

Recording  Secretary,  1900-1921. 

Charles  A.  Weidemann  was  born  in  1843  at  Louisville,  Ky.  His  early  education  was 
had  in  the  public  schools  of  Philadelphia  and  he  then  became  apprenticed  to  Thomas  S. 
Stewart  at  Tenth  Street  and  Girard  Avenue,  remaining  over  seven  years,  when  he  enlisted 
for  Hospital  Service  during  the  Civil  War,  continuing  in  the  service  for  nearly  three  years. 


CHARLES  A.  WEIDEMANN 

He  graduated  from  the  College  in  1867  and  immediately  went  into  the  retail  drug 
business  for  himself  at  Twenty  Second  and  Green  Streets,  retiring  from  business  in  1902. 
In  the  meanwhile,  he  became  interested  in  medicine  and  matriculated  in  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  receiving  his  degree  in  1880.  He  then  combined  the 
practice  of  medicine  and  pharmacy  and  with  marked  success. 


368       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

For  more  than  fifty  years  (since  1868),  he  has  been  a  member  of  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association,  and  in  1877  became  actively  identified  with  the  work  of  the  College. 
He  was  elected  recording  secretary  in  1900,  serving  as  such  for  twenty-one  years.  He 
has  also  been  active  in  the  work  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  College,  having  been 
elected  second  vice-president  in  1875-1876,  and  again  in  1882-1883,  and  first  vice-president 
in  1883-1884,  and  president  in  1884-1885. 

Few  men  have  rendered  more  devoted  service  to  their  Alma  Mater  than  has  Charles 
A.  Weidemann.  In  season  and  out  of  season,  in  fair  weather  and  foul,  lie  has  been  ever 
faithful  in  the  performance  of  his  duties  and  loyal  to  the  best  traditions  of  his  profession, 
winning  the  respect  and  affection  of  wide  circle  of  friends. 


Warren  H.  Poley 

Treasurer,  1916-1920. 

Warren  H.  Poley  was  born  in  Montgomery  County,  Pa.,  and  shortly  after  his  birth 
his  parents  moved  to  Norristown,  Pa.,  where  he  received  his  early  education,  graduating 
from  the  high  school  in  1871.  In  August  of  that  year  he  entered  the  drug  store  of  his  uncle 
Francis  B.  Poley  and  remained  in  his  employ  (or  his  estate)  until  the  fall  of  1876. 


WARREN  H.  POLEY 

He  graduated   from  the  College  in   1875,  his  thesis  being  "Phytolacca   Decandra." 
In  1876  he  purchased  a  drug  store  in  Germantown  between  Upsal  and  Sharpnack  Streets, 

removing  in  1883  to  a  larger  store  and  dwelling  nearby,  and  known  as  the  Upsal  Pharmacy; 

previously  (1881),  he  had  purchased  the  Walnut  Lane  Pharmacy,  operating  both  stores  with 

marked  success.     In  1904  he  sold  the  Upsal  Pharmacy,  and  a  year  or  so  later  the  Walnut 

Lane  Pharmacy. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       369 

Warren  H.  Poley  has  rendered  thirty-five  years  of  splendid  service  as  a  retail  phar- 
macist, averaging  fifteen  or  sixteen  hours  a  day  and  frequently  seven  days  a  week.  Put- 
ting the  work  on  a  "union  basis"  of  eight  hours  per  day,  this  would  make  a  business  life's 
work  of  sixty  years  or  more,  and  he  has  found  time,  also,  for  outside  activities,  and  has 
given  yeoman  service.  Thus,  he  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Philadelphia  Association 
of  Retail  Druggists,  and  has  been  its  vice-president  and  president,  also,  a  member  of  its 
Executive  Committee  from  the  time  of  its  organization  to  his  retirement  from  business  when 
he  was  elected  an  honorary  member.  He  was,  also,  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  National 
Association  of  Retail  Druggists,  and  is  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Asso- 
ciation (1906-  ). 

Warren  H.  Poley  has  ever  exhibited  the  deepest  interest  in  his  Alma  Mater.  Elected 
a  member  of  the  College  in  1900,  he  became  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  in 
1906,  and  an  active  member  of  many  of  its  committees,  and  treasurer  of  the  College  (1916- 
1920),  in  which  position  he  rendered  services  of  unusual  value.  He  was  elected  recording 
secretary  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  College  in  1912-1913,  second  vice-president  in 
1913-1914,  first  vice-president  in  1914-1915,  and  president  in  1915-1916. 

Otto  W.  Osterlund 

President,  March  28,  1921-May  9,  1921. 

Otto  Williams  Osterlund,  ninth  president  of  the  College,  was  born  in  Sweden  on  May 
28,  1874,  and  was  the  son  of  Andrew  and  Catherine  Osterlund.  His  father  died  while 
he  was  quite  young,  and  in  1886  his  mother  and  himself  came  to  this  country.  He  received 
his  early  education  in  the  public  schools,  and  was  then  apprenticed  with  Dr.  Charles  Henry, 
of  Upland,  Nebraska,  for  four  years. 

He  matriculated  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  the  fall  of  1896,  his 
preceptor  being  Theodore  Campbell,  of  Overbrook.  and  graduated  with  the  class  of  1899, 
the  subject  of  his  thesis  being  "Cinchona  and  its  Bast  Fibres";  he  was  the  vice-president 
of  his  class. 

After  graduation,  he  went  into  the  retail  drug  business  at  Forty-sixth  and  Baltimore 
Avenue,  and  at  Fifty-second  and  Spruce  Streets ;  recently  he  gave  up  this  business  to  assume 
the  presidency  of  the  Belmont  Trust  Company  of  Philadelphia. 

He  was  appointed  a  member  of  the  Pennsylvania  Board  of  Pharmacy  in  1914,  and 
has  been  reappointed  from  time  to  time;  he  is  treasurer  of  the  Board.  He  was  elected 
President  of  the  Philadelphia  Association  of  Retail  Druggists  in  1919.  He  has  taken  a 
deep  interest  in  the  work  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  College,  and  was  its  correspond- 
ing secretary  in  1908-1909.  second  vice-president  in  1909-1910,  first  vice-president  in  1910- 
1911,  and  president  in  1911-1912;  and  also,  in  the  College,  having  been  elected  a  member 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  in  1910. 

At  the  height  of  an  unusually  successful  business  career,  he  was  called  to  assume  the 
presidency  of  the  College,  and  consented  to  serve  only  until  a  successor  of  national  repu- 
tation could  be  secured,  and  such  a  person  was  found  in  Dr.  William  C.  Braisted,  former 
Surgeon  General  of  the  U.  S.  Navy,  who  was  elected  to  succeed  Mr.  Osterlund  on  May  9,  1921. 

In  his  short  term  as  president  of  the  College,  Otto  W.  Osterlund  won.  in  an  exceed- 
ingly difficult  and  trying  position,  the  respect  and  affection  of  the  College  membership  by 
his  whole  hearted  devotion  to  the  interests  of  his  Alma  Mater,  and  now,  as  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees,  he  is  rendering  equally  valuable  service. 

William  C.  Braisted 

President,  May  9,  1921- 

William  C.  Braisted,  tenth  president  of  the  College,  was  born  in  Toledo,  Ohio,  on 
October  9,  1864.  In  1883  he  was  graduated  a  bachelor  of  philosophy  from  the  University 
of  Michigan.  Three  years  later,  when  he  was  graduated  a  doctor  of  medicine  from 
Columbia  University,  he  was  an  honor  man  in  his  class.  After  two  and  a  half  years  of 


370       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

service  in  Bellevue  Hospital  in  New  York  he  practiced  medicine  in  Detroit  until,  in  Sep- 
tember, 1890,  he  entered  the  Navy  as  Assistant  Surgeon. 

Step  by  step  William  C.  Braisted  advanced  in  the  service,  serving  on  many  vessels 
and  at  many  naval  hospitals.  Twice  he  was  instructor  in  surgery  in  the  Naval  Medical 
School.  For  zeal  and  skill  in  caring  for  the  wounded  after  the  battle  of  Puerto  Cabello 
he  was  decorated  with  the  Order  of  Bolivar  by  the  President  of  Venezuela.  In  1904,  he 
fitted  out  and  equipped  the  hospital  ship  "Relief." 

During  the  Russo-Japanese  War  he  represented  the  Medical  Department  in  Japan  and 
was  decorated  by  the  Mikado.  As  Assistant  Chief  of  the  Bureau  he  assisted  in  the  com- 
plete reorganization  of  the  medical  service  of  the  Navy.  For  a  time  he  served  as  Attend- 
ing Physician  at  the  White  House  in  the  administration  of  President  Roosevelt. 

From  1912  to  1914,  he  was  Fleet  Surgeon  of  the  Atlantic  Fleet.  In  1913,  he  was 
elected  President  of  the  Association  of  Military  Surgeons  of  the  United  States.  February  18, 
1914,  he  was  appointed  to  the  post  of  Surgeon  General  and  Chief  of  the  Bureau  of  Medi- 
cine and  Surgery,  with  the  rank  of  Rear  Admiral. 

Upon  the  shoulders  of  Admiral  Braisted  fell  the  responsibility  for  the  surgical,  medi- 
cal and  pharmaceutical  readiness  of  the  Navy  in  the  World  War,  not  only  in  the  matter 
of  supplies,  but  in  personnel  also.  So  well  did  he  perform  his  task  that  every  call  made 
upon  the  bureau  was  answered.  To  his  care  nearly  120,000  sick  and  wounded  soldiers, 
sailors  and  marines  were  entrusted;  his  jurisdiction  extended  over  the  Marine  units  fight- 
ing in  France,  over  the  Naval  aviation  stations,  over  health  conditions  in  submarines  and 
the  sanitary  and  medical  features  of  the  transportation  of  the  Army  to  Europe  accomplished 
by  the  Navy,  in  fact,  over  the  myriad  activities  touched  upon  by  the  Naval  forces. 

An  idea  of  the  magnitude  of  his  task  may  be  obtained  from  the  fact  that  of  1,235,933 
American  troops  returned  by  June  20,  1919,  111,522  of  them  were  sick  or  wounded  and  in 
his  keeping. 

Admiral  Braisted  has  brought  about  the  reorganization  and  enlargement  of  the  Medical 
and  Hospital  Corps  by  securing  necessary  legislation  for  increased  personnel  with  increased 
rank  and  pay.  He  has  secured  hospital  construction  and  administration  of  the  most  up-to- 
date  kind  of  the  Navy.  He  has  founded  four  colleges  at  Newport,  Norfolk,  the  Great 
Lakes  Training  Station  and  San  Francisco,  respectively,  for  the  training  of  Naval  phar- 
macists. In  addition  he  established  a  correspondence  course  in  pharmacy  for  men  in  the 
Navy's  Hospital  Corps.  The  first  hospital  ship  of  the  Navy  to  be  designed  and  fitted  out 
from  the  keel  up  for  the  special  purposes  of  the  Medical  Department,  now  under  way 
at  the  Navy  Yard  at  Philadelphia,  was  undertaken  under  his  auspices.  He  has  had  pre- 
pared the  book  of  instructions  for  the  Hospital  Corps,  as  well  as  the  Manual  of  the 
Medical  Department  for  Medical  Officers,  the  Compend  for  Masters  of  Auxiliary  Vessels, 
special  reports  on  the  War  in  Europe,  etc. 

Recognition  of  the  distinguished  services  of  Admiral  Braisted  has  not  been  lacking. 
Among  the  honors  accorded  him  are  the  degree  of  doctor  of  laws  by  the  University  of 
Michigan  and  Jefferson  Medical  College,  and  the  degree  of  doctor  of  science  by  North- 
western University.  He  is  president  of  the  Board  of  Visitors  of  the  Government  Hos- 
pital for  the  Insane,  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  American  College  of  Sur- 
geons, a  director  of  Columbia  Hospital  in  Washington,  and  once  vice-chairman  of  the  War 
Relief  Board  of  the  American  Red  Cross.  During  the  war  he  was  a  member  of  the  Cen- 
tral and  Executive  Committee  of  that  body. 

He  is  President  of  the  National  Board  of  Medical  Examiners  and  a  member  of  the 
American  Medical  Association,  of  which  he  was  president  in  1921,  the  Southern  Medical 
Association,  the  American  Academy  of  Medicine,  and  many  other  societies.  Dr.  Braisted  is 
also  Chairman  of  the  Provisional  Board  of  the  Gorgas  Memorial  Institute  begun  recently 
at  Panama,  a  great  institution  for  research  into  tropical  diseases  and  preventive  medicine 
for  the  welfare  of  the  entire  world. 

For  his  services  during  the  war  he  was  awarded  the  Distinguished  Service  Medal  of 
the  Navy.

Thomas  Wiltberger 

Founder,  Trustee,  1821-1822. 

Thomas  Wiltberger  was  born  in  1792,  and  received  his  early  education  in  the  Episcopal 
Academy  of  Philadelphia.  He  then  became  apprenticed  to  a  prominent  druggist  on  Market 
Street,  and  entered  the  drug  business  for  himself  in  1815  at  233  North  Second  Street  where 
he  had  an  unusually  successful  career  as  a  wholesale  druggist.  He  was  succeeded  in  busi- 


THOMAS  WILTBERGER 

ness  by  his  son  Alfred  in  1849,  and  at  his  death,  by  another  son  David  S.,  who  continued 
the  business  until  his  demise  in  1896. 

Thomas  Wiltberger  was  a  man  of  character  and  was  held  in  high  esteem. 

It  is  of  interest  to  add  that  Adam  Pfromm,  a  graduate  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  class  of  1869,  who  had  been  in  the  employ  of  the  firm  since  1863,  formed  a  part- 
nership with  I.  H.  S.  Kindig  under  the  firm  name  of  Pfromm  and  Kindig,  which  was  continued 
until  the  death  of  Mr.  Kindig  in  1906.  Since  then  Mr.  Pfromm  has  continued  the  business 
under  the  name  of  Adam  Pfromm  and  Co.,  his  connection  with  the  business  having  been 
for  fifty-nine  years  with  this  more  than  a  century  old  firm.  Mr.  Pfromm  is,  also,  actively 
identified  with  the  work  of  the  Philadelphia  Drug  Exchange. 


Warder  Morris 

Founder,  Trustee,  1821-1853;  Chairman  of  Board  of  Trustees,  1842-1845. 
Warder  Morris  was  born  on  October  3,   1789,  at   Pottsgrove,   Pa.     His  parents  were 
originally  Philadelphians.     At  an  early  age  he  was  placed  in  the  store  of  John  and  Daniel 


372       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Elliot,  and  when  twenty  years  of  age,  commenced  business  on  his  own  account  at  45  North 
Third  street,  where  he  continued  in  business  for  forty-four  years,  retiring  in  1853.  As 
a  business  man,  his  knowledge  and  experience  were  extensive  and  his  judgment  good. 
His  practice  was  distinguished  by  rigid  economy  and  ready  adaptation  of  means  to  ends. 

He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  College,  being  very  zealous  in  the  determination 
to  establish  on  a  permanent  basis  an  institution  that  should  do  credit  to  the  profession  of 
pharmacy.  He  was  a  member  of  the  College  from  1821  to  the  time  of  his  death  (March 
10,  1863),  a  period  of  forty-two  years,  over  thirty  years  of  which  he  was  a  trustee. 

In  1844  the  College  became  financially  embarrassed  on  account  of  money  borrowed 
from  its  members  to  build  a  hall,  at  which  time  he  was  the  first  to  step  forward  with  an 
offer  to  relinquish  one-half  of  his  loan  (which  was  considerable),  to  relieve  the  institution 
from  its  difficulty,  and  also  labored  much  to  induce  others  to  do  the  same,  a  movement 
whereby  the  College  was  placed  on  an  independent  basis. 

Warder  Morris  possessed  strongly  marked  peculiarities.  In  deliberations  with  his 
fellow  members,  he  gave  his  opinions  freely,  without  fear  or  favor,  and  was  sometimes 
a  little  caustic ;  nevertheless  his  really  kind  nature  dispelled  any  bitterness  and  always 
retained  for  him  the  respect  of  his  associates.  He  was  seldom  idle  or  permitted  those  about 
him  to  be  so.  He  was  a  man  of  few  amusements  and  few  vices,  but  with  many  internal 
resources ;  he  read  much  and  had  a  large  stock  of  general  information ;  conversed  well 
but  not  freely,  using  very  few  superfluous  words,  and  much  could  be  learned  from  his 
conversation,  particularly  when  his  hearers  knew  him  well  enough  to  accommodate  them- 
selves to  his  peculiarities. 

Thomas  J.  Husband 

Trustee,  1835-1836. 

Thomas  J.  Husband  was  born  in  Harford  County,  Md.,  in  1813.  Coming  to  Phila- 
delphia when  a  boy,  he  entered  the  drug  store  of  Thomas  McClintock,  a  well-known  Phila- 
delphia druggist,  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Fifth  and  Callowhill  Streets.  As  an  apprentice 
he  gave  abundant  promise  of  future  usefulness  in  his  profession.  He  attended  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy,  graduating  with  honor  in  the  class  of  1833.  He  spent  much 
time  in  working  upon  his  thesis,  the  subject  being:  "Galipea  Officinalis."  This  was  pub- 
lished in  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  for  October,  1833.  He  subsequently  (1834) 
joined  the  College,  becoming  a  life  member,  and  for  several  years  served  on  the  Board  of 
Trustees. 

For  more  than  fifty  years  he  conducted  a  successful  retail  business  at  the  northwest 
corner  of  Third  and  Spruce  Streets,  but  his  name  is  inseparably  connected  with  the  prepa- 
ration known  all  over  the  country  as  "Husband's  Magnesia."  The  enormous  sale  of  this 
household  remedy  was  due  to  his  unusually  accurate  knowledge  of  the  physical  properties 
of  magnesia,  and  to  the  careful  and  judicious  management  which  he  exercised  in  putting 
it  upon  the  market. 

His  qualities  of  mind,  his  education  and  training,  and  above  all,  his  scrupulous  honesty, 
had  a  great  influence  in  establishing  for  more  than  one  generation  the  continued  demand 
for  the  magnesia  made  by  Husband.  He  took  a  great  interest  in  his  apprentices,  and  none 
left  his  store  without  being  thoroughly  imbued  with  the  principle  that  honesty,  industry 
and  faithfulness  were  incumbent  upon  all  who  desired  to  serve  their  fellow-men.  These 
sterling  qualities  endeared  him  to  all  who  came  in  contact  with  him. 

Later,  he  relinquished  his  active  interests  in  the  retail  drug  business,  but  continued 
the  manufacture  of  magnesia  at  his  laboratory  at  Byberry,  Twenty-third  Ward,  Phila- 
delphia, until  the  time  of  death. 

Thomas  J.  Husband  was  a  life  long  member  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  attending  the 
Meeting  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Ninth  and  Spruce  Streets.  He  died  on  January  21,  1898, 
in  the  eighty-fifth  year  of  his  age,  and  his  passing  away  was  as  peaceful  as  his  long  life 
had  been  useful.

THOMAS  J.  HUSBAND 

Augustine  J.  L.  Duhamel 

Trustee  1841-1846 

Augustine  J.  L.  Duhamel  was  born  in  1813  in  Philadelphia.  His  forbears  were  French,  his 
father  having  been  a  native  of  Bayonne,  France. 

In  1829  young  Duhamel  ccmmenced  the  study  of  pharmacy  with  Elias  Durand,  of 
Philadelphia,  under  whose  guidance  he  attained  marked  proficiency  in  pharmaceutical  prac- 
tice; and  he  devoted  ten  years  after  attaining  his  majority  in  the  employ  of  his  preceptor. 

He  became  a  graduate  of  the  College  in  1834,  a  member  in  1840,  and  a  trustee  in  1841, 
and  was  most  zealous  and  useful  in  the  performance  of  duties.  His  talent  for  scientific 
research  and  his  thorough  acquaintance  with  pharmacy  and  correlated  science  were  shown 
by  his  contributions  to  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy.  His  papers  in  this  journal  num- 
bering only  thirty-four,  and  scattered  through  twelve  volumes  of  the  journal,  were  eminently 
practical  in  character.  His  inaugural  essay  on  the  preparations  of  iodine,  published  in 
1835,  extended  through  seventeen  pages  and  contained  much  that  was  new  and  original. 
Several  of  his  communications  related  to  the  then  new  method  of  displacement  or  perco- 
lation originated  by  the  Boullays  of  Paris  in  1833 ;  and  he  was  probably  the  first  in  this 
country  to  report  upon  this  epoch  making  discovery  of  exhausting  vegetable  drugs. 

His  other  papers  embraced  a  wide  field.  In  studying  his  subjects,  he  was  more  in- 
fluenced by  the  practical  and  useful  than  by  any  abstract  scientific  interest  they  might 
possess.  "His  acquaintance  with  English  literature  and  history  was  of  no  mean  extent 
and  his  familiarity  with  the  French  language  gave  him  access  to  the  writers  of  that  country, 
of  which  he  extensively  availed  himself."  (William  Procter,  Jr.) 


374       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Though  possessing  a  retiring  disposition,  Duhamel's  talents  were  none  the  less  appre- 
ciated by  his  associates,  and  he  was  not  without  frequent  evidence  of  their  confidence  and 
regard.  His  early  death  on  December  21,  1846,  terminated  a  short  but  brilliant  career  that 
had  large  possibilities  of  further  development. 

Henry  C.  Blair,  2nd 

Trustee,  1850-1857 ;  Chairman  of  Board  of  Trustees,  1854-1857. 

Henry  C.  Blair,  2nd,  was  born  at  Carlisle,  Pa.,  on  December  26,  1816.  His  forbears  were 
of  Scotch  origin.  The  first  Blair  of  the  line  came  to  this  country  in  the  seventeenth  cen- 
tury, and  landed  in  Philadelphia  with  his  wife  and  children — a  son  and  daughter — and  soon 
after  his  death,  William  Blair,  1st,  was  born.  He  went  to  Carlisle,  Pa.,  and  married  Mary 
Cowan.  Their  descendants  are:  William  Blair,  2nd  (1760-1792)  ;  Andrew  Blair  (1789-1861)  ; 
Henry  C.  Blair,  2nd  (1816-1862)  ;  Andrew  Blair,  2nd  (1841-1898)  ;  Henry  C.  Blair,  3rd  (1844- 
1901)  ;  Henry  C.  Blair,  4th  (1869-  ). 


HENRY  C.  BLAIR,  2nd 

Henry  C.  Blair,  2nd,  learned  the  "drug  and  apothecary"  business  with  Franklin  R.  Smith 
at  the  corner  of  Eighth  and  Walnut  Streets,  founded  in  1829,  and  graduated  from  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy  in  1836.  In  1838  he  purchased  the  business,  and  by  his  judicious 
management  it  became  one  of  the  most  favorably  known  and  prosperous  drug  stores  of  the 
rity.  Though  much  engrossed  by  business,  he  was  not  unmindful  of  the  claims  of  the  com- 
munity and  of  his  profession.  In  1842  he  became  a  member  of  the  College  and  then  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Board  of  Trustees  (1850-1857),  and  later  its  chairman  (1854-1857).  Later,  he 
joined  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       375 

The  business  passed  to  the  sons — Andrew  Blair,  2nd  (1841-1898),  and  Henry  C.  Blair, 
3rd  (1844-1901).  Both  sons  were  eminently  skilled  pharmacists  and  maintained  the  tradi- 
tions of  the  old  Blair  store ;  the  former  graduated  from  the  College  in  1865,  becoming  a 
member  of  the  College  (1869),  and  later  a  trustee  (1879-1882).  Henry  C.  Blair,  4th,  gradu- 
ated from  the  College  in  1892,  and  is  a  life  member. 

The  Blair  drug  store,  as  it  came  to  be  known,  established  by  Franklin  R.  Smith  in  1829, 
was  "the"  prescription  pharmacy  of  the  residential  neighborhood  around  Washington  Square 
when  that  section  of  the  city  was  a  social  center.  Henry  C.  Blair,  2nd,  who  succeeded  Mr. 
Smith,  won  the  high  regard  of  the  medical  profession  of  Philadelphia,  and  physicians  of 
eminence  frequently  consulted  him  as  to  the  best  methods  of  preparing  drugs  to  meet  the 
complex  pharmacy  of  those  days.  Here  were  developed  many  ethical  pharmaceutical  prepara- 
tions, including  elixirs. 

John  Wyeth,  Frank  Wyeth,  Edward  T.  Dobbins,  Henry  Croft  and  Francis  E.  Stewart 
were  clerks  in  the  Blair  store.  John  Wyeth  afterwards  became  a  partner,  the  firm's  name  be- 
coming Blair  and  Wyeth.  Later  the  partnership  was  dissolved,  and  the  Wyeths  with  Dob- 
bins opened  a  drug  store  on  Walnut  Street  above  Broad,  as  the  firm  of  John  Wyeth  and 
Brother,  specializing  in  elixirs,  and  achieved  world-wide  fame  as  manufacturing  pharmacists. 

In  1870,  or  thereabouts,  Henry  Blair,  Andrew  Blair  and  Henry  Croft  opened  a  store  at 
Chestnut  and  Eighteenth  Streets ;  and  later,  the  partnership  was  dissolved  and  Andrew 
Blair  opened  a  store  of  his  own  at  Nineteenth  and  Chestnut  Streets  and  conducted  this  for  a 
number  of  years. 

The  example  and  influence  of  the  several  proprietors  of  the  Blair  store  were  always 
conducive  to  the  elevation  of  the  standards  of  education  and  professional  ethics  in  pharmacy. 

The  admirable  discipline  of  the  Blair  establishment  was  founded  on  a  just  appreciation 
of  the  rights  and  interests  of  the  young  apprentices  entrusted  to  their  care  and  their  responsi- 
bility to  themselves  and  to  the  community.  A  healthy  moral  tone  pervaded  the  establishment 
and  many  of  these  young  men  became  prominent  figures  in  the  pharmaceutical  world. 

One  of  the  characteristic  productions  of  the  Blair  store  was  a  code  of  rules  and  regula- 
tions originally  adopted  in  1848  and  modified  in  1893,  and  were  as  follows : 

RULES  AND  REGULATIONS  OF  THE  DRUG  STORE  OF 
HENRY  C.  BLAIR 

1.  Store  to  be  opened  promptly  at  7  A.  M.  and  closed  at  10  P.  M. ;  Saturdays,  10.30  P.  M. 
Sundays,  9  A.  M.  and  9  P.  M. 

2.  Business  hours  will  include  time  between  7  A.  M.  and  6  P.  M.  on  week-days,  except 
when  special  work  requires  longer  hours. 

3.  During  business  hours  all  hands  must  be  on  their  feet  and  employed  either  in  waiting 
on  customers  or  some  other  store  duty. 

4.  As  waiting  on  the  counter  requires  most  knowledge  and  experience,  the  senior  clerk 
must  always  go  front  first,  then  the  next  oldest.    The  younger  clerks  are  not  to  wait  on  cus- 
tomers except  when  the  older  clerks  are  occupied. 

5.  In  every  case  customers  must  be  waited  on  promptly  and  when  goods  are  to  be  sent 
it  must  be  done  with  the  least  possible  delay. 

6.  Never  put  up  an  article  unless  you  are  certain  you  are  right. 

7.  Every  other  duty  must  give  way  to  waiting  on  the  counter,  except  where  serious  detri- 
ment would  be  the  consequence. 

8.  Every  person  entering  the  store,  whether  rich  or  poor,  infant  or  adult,  white  or  colored, 
must  be  treated  with  courtesy  and  kindness. 


376       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

9.  Boisterous  mirth  and  a  sullen  temper  are  to   be  equally  avoided  as   productive  of 
neither  business  nor  business  character.    The  acquisition  of  a  uniformly  cheerful  temperament 
is  an  attainment  worth  far  beyond  the  price  it  usually  costs. 

10.  There  are  to  be  no  master  and  no  servants.     Each  one  is  to  feel  conscious  of  the 
fact  that  the  performance  of  the  duties  assigned  to  him  are  just  as  necessary  and  as  important 
as  what  pertains  to  any  other  hand  in  the  store.    All  useful  employment  is  honorable.     In- 
dolence is  a  disgrace. 

11.  As  neatness,  order,  cleanliness  and  accuracy  are  necessary  and  not  mere  accomplish- 
ments in  a  pharmacist,  all  are  required  to  practice  them  constantly. 

12.  Every  clerk  is  expected  to  become  a  graduate  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy and  time  will  be  allowed  during  third  and  fourth  years  for  attending  the  lectures  (three 
evenings  for  Senior  course;  two  evenings  and  afternoon  for  Junior  course). 

13.  To  deserve  the  Degree  of  Graduate  will  require  severe  economy  of  leisure  hours, 
and  their  application  to  the  study  of  those  books  which  relate  to  the  theoretical  and  prac- 
tical knowledge  necessary  to  make  an  accomplished  pharmacist. 

14.  Students  need  but  few  social  acquaintances  and  they  should  be  very  select.     While 
the  occasional  visit  of  a  well-behaved  young  friend  will  be  allowed,  lounging  in  the  store 
will  not  be  tolerated. 

15.  Each  junior  clerk  will  have  at  his  disposal  an  afternoon  and  evening  every  week 
(from  1  P.  M.  until  10.30  P.  M.),  and  these  privileges  will  not  be  interfered  with  unneces- 
sarily.    Rooms  are  furnished  for  all  clerks  in  store  building. 

16.  No  junior  clerk  will  be  allowed  to  be  absent  at  night  after  hours  without  permission. 
The  first  and  second  clerks  are  expected  to  be  in  at  reasonable  hours,  and  under  no  circum- 
stance are  both  to  be  away  at  same  time. 

17.  Each  clerk  will  be  allowed  two  weeks  vacation  each  year. 

18.  Necessity  requires  that  the  store  should  be  accessible  on   Sunday  for  the  purpose 
of  supplying  medicines ;  beyond  this  the  proprietor  is  not  desirous  of  doing  business  on  that 
day,  and  he  enjoining  on  those  in  his  employ  that  while  they  need  not  positively  decline  to 
furnish  an  article  when  asked  for,  to  hold  out  no  inducements  to  purchasers. 

19.  It  is  not  the  wish  of  the  proprietor  that  any  of  his  clerks  should  extol  an  article  beyond 
its  merits  to  advance  his  pecuniary  interests,  or  to  say  or  do  aught  in  the  performance  of 
his  duty  that  he  would  not  be  willing  that  others  should  say  or  do  to  him  under  the  same 
circumstances. 

20.  Goods  taken  from  stock  for  personal  use  of  clerks  must  be  paid  for  at  cost. 

21.  The  proprietor  would  affectionately  recommend  and  advise  all  his  clerks  to  attend 
public  worship  with  a  denomination  of  his  own  selection,  at  least  once  every  Sunday,  as  cir- 
cumstances may  permit.    The  habit  when  accompanied  by  a  corresponding  moral  deportment 
(without  considering  the  immense  spiritual  advantage  which  may  result  from  it),  confers  a 
degree  of  respect  in  the  estimation  of  those  whose  esteem  is  worth  having,  that  scarcely  any 
other  act  will. 

22.  The  daily  intercourse  of  the  employees  should  be  characterized  with  the  courtesy 
becoming  young  gentlemen. 

23.  Should  a  clerk  wishing  to  leave  before  his  allotted  time  expires  have  a  good  reason, 
the  proprietor  will  not  probably  object,  and  should  his  cause  be  a  bad  one  and  be  persisted 
in,  the  proprietor  will  certainly  not  offer  hindrance  to  his  going.    The  proprietor  depends  on 
the  honor  of  the  individual. 

24.  A  cheerful  compliance  with  the  foregoing  rules  is  expected  and  the  repeated  infrac- 
tion of  a  known  regulation  will  be  cause  for  immediate  dismissal.

Daniel  S.  Jones 

Trustee,  1850-1879. 

Daniel  Sexton  Jones  was  born  near  Columbus,  Ohio,  November  13,  1822,  and  died  May 
12,  1893,  at  his  residence  in  Philadelphia.  His  early  education  was  had  at  a  boarding  school 
at  Burlington,  N.  J.  He  learned  the  drug  business  with  Henry  Zollickoffer,  at  Sixth  and 
Pine  Streets,  Philadelphia,  graduating  in  1843  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
with  high  honors;  his  graduating  thesis  was  upon  the  subject  of  "Arum  triphyllum." 


DANIEL  S.  JONES 

In  1846  he  began  business  for  himself  at  1201  Spruce  Street,  Philadelphia,  where  he  con- 
tinued until  his  death. 

He  became  a  member  of  the  College  in  1840,  and  took  an  active  part  in  its  work,  par- 
ticipating in  many  of  its  meetings  and  serving  frequently  on  committees ;  for  many  years  he 
was  a  trustee  (1850-1879).  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
(1857-1893). 

Not  only  was  he  active  in  pharmacy,  but  he  was  identified,  also,  with  several  business 
corporations,  principally  coal  companies,  having  been  treasurer  and  president  of  the  Pied- 
mont Coal  and  Iron  Company,  and  president  of  the  Bridgeport  Coal  Company. 

Evan  T.  Ellis 

Trustee,  1853-1873. 

Evan  Tyson  Ellis  was  born  in  Philadelphia,  August  10,  1826,  and  died  October  11,  1913. 
He  came  of  sturdy  Quaker  stock,  his  father,  Charles  Ellis,  being  a  well  known  Orthodox 
Quaker,  a  leading  wholesale  druggist  and  a  faithful  official,  in  various  capacities,  of  the  Phila- 


378       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

delphia  College  of  Pharmacy  for  many  years.  He  received  his  education  at  Haverford  Col- 
lege, graduating  with  the  class  of  1844. 

He  then  studied  pharmacy  and  graduated  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 
in  1847.  The  subject  of  his  thesis  was  "Extract  of  Valerian." 

After  graduation,  he  went  into  partnership  with  his  father  in  the  wholesale  drug  busi- 
ness under  the  name  of  Charles  Ellis,  Son  &  Co. 

During  the  Civil  War  he  served  in  the  hospital  department  of  the  United  States  Army. 
He  took  a  deep  interest  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  having  been  a  life  member,

and  serving  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  twenty  years.  He  was  a  charter 
member  of  the  Philadelphia  Photographic  Society,  and  a  life  member  of  the  American  Phar- 
maceutical Association. 

Evan  T.  Ellis  was  a  life  member  of  the  Orthodox  Meeting  of  the  Society  of  Friends  of 
Philadelphia.  He  was  noted  for  his  thoughtfulness  and  kindness,  particularly  to  those  who 
were  in  the  drug  business  and  who  had  fallen  by  the  wayside.  His  life,  after  retiring  from 
business,  was  devoted  to  good  works.  He  did  not  rest  content  by  contributing  a  handshake 
or  pleasant  smile  to  needy  unfortunates,  but  he  would  do  his  utmost  in  every  case  to  procure 
situations  for  them  or  send  them  food,  medicine  or  help  of  a  practical  character. 

Wilson  H.  Pile 

Trustee,  1857-1881. 

Wilson  Hunt  Pile,  son  of  William  and  Sarah  Pile,  was  born  in  Philadelphia,  October  12, 
1808.  His  early  education  was  had  in  a  school  on  Lombard  Street  above  Fifth. 

About  1824  he  commenced  to  learn  the  "drug  and  apothecary  business"  with  Elisha 
Crowell  at  the  corner  of  Fifth  and  South  Streets;  later  he  became  engaged  with  William 
Hodgson,  Jr.,  and  then  with  Thomas  Evans.  He  then  took  up  the  study  of  medicine  and 
graduated  from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1833,  the  subject  of  his  inaugural  essay 
being  "Malaria." 

Soon  after  graduating  he  settled  in  Orwigsburg,  Pa.,  to  practice  medicine  and  had  an 
apothecary  shop.  Not  meeting  with  success,  he  went  to  Pidgeontown,  White  Marsh,  Pa., 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       379 

and  then  returned  to  Philadelphia,  and  taught  in  the  Lombard  Street  School  for  Colored 
Children,  and  afterwards,  in  the  Northeast  Public  School  (Key's  Alley),  where  he  remained 
for  eight  or  nine  years,  teaching  physics,  electricity,  etc. 

In  1846  he  opened  a  drug  store  at  Passayunk  Road  and  German  Street,  removing  a  year 
later  to  the  northeast  corner  of  Passayunk  Road  and  Catharine  Street,  where  he  remained  for 
ten  years,  when  he  removed  to  the  northwest  corner  of  the  same  streets,  where  the  business 
was  continued  until  1881. 


WILSON  H.  PILE 

He  became  a  member  of  the  College  in  1857,  and  in  the  same  year  was  elected  a  trustee, 
serving  as  such  until  his  demise  (1881). 

Becoming  deeply  interested  by  observation  and  study  in  the  subject  of  weights,  measures 
and  graduated  instruments,  he  was  led  to  the  manufacture  of  a  number  of  specialties  which 
acquired  a  high  reputation.  For  his  hydrometers  and  specific  gravity  bottles,  he  was  awarded 
a  first  class  medal  from  the  Franklin  Institute,  the  judges  reporting  them  "to  be  equal  to  any 
imported  from  Europe."  He  made  a  number  of  experimental  galvanic  batteries  and  also 
electric  motors  consisting  of  a  soft  iron  rod  wound  with  cotton  wrapped  copper  wire  and 
mounted  in  cups  filled  with  mercury  and  exhibited  these  before  the  Franklin  Institute.  He 
was,  also,  a  proficient  musician  and  water  color  painter. 

He  contributed  a  number  of  valuable  papers  to  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  upon 
the  graduating  of  hydrometers,  the  manufacture  of  dilute  phosphoric  acid  (in  the  making  of 
which  he  nearly  lost  his  life),  sulphuric  acid,  etc. 

In  1857  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  dur- 
ing the  remainder  of  his  life  took  a  keen  interest  in  its  proceedings,  being  present  at  many  of 
its  meetings. 


380       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Of  him,  Dr.  W.  S.  W.  Ruschenberger,  his  friend  of  many  years,  has  written :  "Con- 
sidering the  narrow  circumstances  of  his  early  life,  and  his  comparatively  slender  means 
and  opportunity  of  early  education,  his  intellectual  achievement  is  vastly  greater  than  might 
have  been  reasonably  anticipated.  The  prominent  parts  of  his  natural  character  were  per- 
fect integrity,  generosity,  love  of  accuracy  and  truth  in  all  things,  cheerfulness,  often  under 
trying  conditions,  and  a  very  affectionate  disposition.  He  was  modest,  unpretending  in  refer- 
ence to  his  own  abilities,  and  respectfully  considerate  of  the  rights,  feelings  and  opinions  of 
others.  I  have  never  been  closely  assocated  with  any  man,  either  in  private  life  or  public, 
whose  moral  tone  was  higher  or  better  in  my  estimation  than  that  of  Wilson  H.  Pile." 

In  addition,  his  fine  character,  his  kindness  of  heart,  his  patient  and  exact  observations, 
and  his  readiness  to  communicate  his  knowledge,  acquired  from  an  extensive  and  varied 
experience,  won  for  him  the  highest  esteem  of  his  fellow  men. 

His  son  Gustavus  has  followed  in  the  footsteps  of  his  father  as  a  trustee  of  the  College 
for  many  years  (1885-1910),  and  the  drug  business  of  Wilson  Pile  has  been  continued  to  the 
third  generation  as  W.  H.  Pile  and  Sons. 

Henry  N.  Rittenhouse 

Trustee,  1858-1859,  1865-1870. 

Henry  Norman  Rittenhouse  was  born  December  31,  1831,  at  corner  of  Crown  and  Vine 
Streets,  Philadelphia.  He  was  the  only  child  of  Henry  and  Eliza  Norman  Rittenhouse  and  a 
descendant  of  David  Rittenhouse,  the  famous  astronomer. 

His  early  youth  was  spent  on  a  farm  near  Norristown,  Pa.,  and  while  his  educational 
opportunities  were  limited  he  made  the  most  of  them.  He  came  to  Philadelphia,  a  lad  of 
twelve  years,  and  entered  employ  of  Dr.  Wynkoop,  a  druggist  at  Lombard  and  Thirteenth 
Streets ;  later  he  went  with  Edward  Parrish,  and  then  with  William  Hodgson,  Jr.  He  gradu- 
ated from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1855  and  carried  on  the  retail  drug  busi- 
ness until  August  13,  1862,  when  he  received  his  appointment  as  Medical  Store  Keeper  with 
the  rank  of  captain  in  the  United  States  Army,  with  headquarters  at  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  in 
which  office  he  remained  until  his  resignation  in  February,  1865,  when  he  again  took  up 
the  drug  business,  being  admitted  to  the  firm  of  Parrish  and  Mellor  in  June  of  the  same 
year. 

During  the  early  part  of  the  Civil  War  he  made  the  acquaintance  of  Alfred  Mellor,  both 
being  interested  in  making  collodion  used  in  the  manufacture  of  ball  cartridge  for  the  U.  S. 
Government.  After  two  years  with  Parrish  and  Mellor  he  entered  into  partnership  (1867) 
with  Alfred  Mellor,  as  Mellor  and  Rittenhouse,  with  their  laboratory  at  816  Filbert  Street, 
for  the  manufacture  of  pharmaceutical  extracts  and  preparations,  and  later  extract  of  licorice. 
Eventually  extract  of  licorice  became  their  sole  product  of  manufacture,  and  they  were 
compelled  to  secure  larger  quarters  and  machinery  at  218  North  Twenty-second  Street,  where 
for  many  years  they  made  this  product,  which  achieved  a  national  reputation. 

In  1890,  Mr.  Rittenhouse  retired  from  Mellor  and  Rittenhouse  Company,  the  firm  in  the 
meanwhile  (1886)  having  been  incorporated.  His  interest  in  drug  affairs,  however,  especially 
the  subject  of  licorice,  never  flagged.  He  made  numerous  researches  looking  toward  the 
introduction  of  the  growth  of  licorice  in  this  country  and  published  his  results  in  the  Amer- 
ican Journal  of  Pharmacy. 

He  was  closely  identified  with  the  College,  being  elected  a  member  (1854),  and  trustee 
(1858-1859,  1865-1870)  ;  also,  a  member  of  the  Publishing  Committee  of  the  American  Journal 
of  Pharmacy,  and  took  the  deepest  interest  in  this  periodical,  being  chairman  of  the  com- 
mittee from  1874  to  1894,  and  treasurer  from  1894  to  1902.  His  long  and  faithful  service 
was  highly  commented  upon,  and  a  unanimous  vote  of  thanks  was  extended  to  him  by  the 
College  for  his  more  than  twenty-five  years  of  faithful  work. 

In  1867  he  became  a  member  of  the  Philadelphia  Drug  Exchange,  and  remained  such  for 
thirty-eight  years;  twenty-four  years  of  which  he  was  a  director;  vice-president  in  1874-1875, 
and  president  in  1881.  In  1857  he  joined  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  serving 
as  recording  secretary  of  the  Association  in  1864-1865. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       381 

Henry  N.  Rittenhouse  was  a  member  of  Montgomery  Lodge,  No.  19,  Free  and  Accepted 
Masons ;  Pennsylvania  Society,  Sons  of  the  Revolution,  and  the  Military  Order  of  the  Loyal 
Legion  of  the  United  States,  serving  in  this  latter  body  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Gov- 
ernors of  the  War  Library  and  Museum. 


HENRY  N.  RITTENHOUSE 

Forceful  in  the  execution  of  what  he  believed  to  be  right,  irrespective  of  expediency,  sin- 
cere in  his  convictions,  courageous  in  misfortune,  and  happiest  when  deepest  in  his  beloved 
work,  he  had  a  character  that  drew  to  him  friendships  of  life-long  duration  ;  he  passed  on, 
June  24,  1905. 

Charles  Shivers 

Trustee,  1865-1871. 

Charles  Shivers  was  born  July  14,  1814,  on  the  farm  of  his  father,  Isaac  Shivers,  near 
Camden,  N.  J.  He  received  his  early  education  in  the  Friends'  School  near  his  home,  and 
was  then  apprenticed  to  Thomas  Evans,  a  Quaker  apothecary,  and  one  of  the  founders  of 
the  College,  who  kept  his  shop  at  Third  and  Spruce  Streets,  Philadelphia,  for  nearly  fifty 
years.  After  serving  a  term  of  four  years,  Mr.  Shivers  was  employed  for  a  time  as  a  clerk 
and  then  went  into  business  with  D.  S.  Marker. 

Harker  and  Shivers  had  their  store  at  (old  number)  45  Arch  Street,  between  Front  and 
Second  Streets,  and  after  several  years  of  successful  business,  Mr.  Shivers  retired  in  1841, 
to  buy  the  business  of  Christopher  Marshall,  then  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Seventh  and 
Spruce  Streets. 

In  this  store,  Mr.  Shivers  spent  most  of  his  useful  life.  He  trained  a  score  or  more  of 
drug  clerks  who  became  prominent  in  pharmacy  in  various  sections  of  the  country.  The 


382       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

building,  an  old  one,  was  torn  down  after  he  had  occupied  it  for  a  few  years,  and  was  re- 
built. He  had  hoped  to  lengthen  his  years  in  the  old  laboratory — in  which  his  working  life 
was  practically  spent— and  leave  the  business  he  had  developed  to  his  son,  Charles,  Jr.,  but 
this  was  not  to  be,  as  the  owners  of  the  building,  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  decided  to 
tear  the  building  down  and  build  on  the  site  the  Barnes  Memorial. 


CHARLES  SHIVERS 

Charles  Shivers  was  an  old  school  Quaker  apothecary  of  unusual  force  of  character  and 
practical  ability,  but  exceedingly  modest  and  reticent.  During  the  Civil  War  he  spread  many 
thousands  of  yards  of  resin  adhesive  plaster  for  the  Union  Army,  and  with  the  same  meticu- 
lous care  and  exactitude  he  used  in  compounding  and  dispensing  prescriptions. 

He  had  lofty  ideals  for  his  profession  and  was  held  in  the  highest  esteem  by  all  who  had 
business  relations  with  him.  He  allied  himself  with  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy, 
as  a  member  in  1857,  remaining  such  until  his  demise  in  1897 ;  he  was  a  trustee  of  the  College 
from  1865  to  1871.  He  was,  also,  a  member  of  the  Amercan  Pharmaceutical  Association  for 
thirty-seven  years  (1860-1897). 

William  Mclntyre 

Trustee,  1872-1889. 

William  Mclntyre  was  born  in  1843  in  the  North  of  Ireland,  and  brought  to  this  country 
by  his  parents  when  a  small  boy.  His  family  settled  in  Kensington,  the  northeastern  section 
of  Philadelphia.  His  early  education  was  had  in  the  public  schools,  at  the  end  of  which 
time  he  entered  the  pharmacy  of  John  Bley. 

In  1861  he  matriculated  at  the  College  and  graduated  in  1863.  After  graduation,  he  en- 
tered into  business  on  his  own  account  and  was  unusually  successful. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       383 

He  inherited  in  large  measure  the  character  and  virility  which  distinguish  the  Scotch- 
Irish  people,  who  have  given  so  many  able  men  and  women  to  the  world. 

In  1867  he  became  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  con- 
tributed many  valuable  papers  and  reports ;  in  1869  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Philadel- 
phia College  of  Pharmacy  and  three  years  later  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  (1872-1889).  He 
was  particularly  interested  in  the  pharmaceutical  meetings  of  the  College,  and  was  secretary 
of  the  same  for  many  years.  His  reports  of  the  meetings  were  widely  published,  not  only 
in  this  country  but  abroad. 


WILLIAM  McINTYRE 

In  1906  he  helped  to  organize  the  Philadelphia  Branch  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical 
Association,  and  was  its  president  in  1908.  He  was  elected  treasurer  of  this  body,  and  held 
the  position  until  his  death.  The  Philadelphia  Association  of  Retail  Druggists  was  organ- 
ized in  1899  with  Mr.  Mclntyre  as  president.  He  held  this  office  until  1901. 

He  took  a  great  interest  in  children  and  their  public  education,  devoting  much  time,  as 
a  school  director  and  member  of  the  Board  of  Education  of  Philadelphia,  toward  improving 
the  conditions  and  advancing  the  interest  and  comfort  of  teachers  and  scholars. 

Thirty-seven  of  his  years  were  given  to  pharmacy,  and  when  he  retired  from  business, 
while  giving  the  greater  part  of  his  time  to  the  Board  of  Education,  he  ever  retained  his 
love  and  interest  in  pharmacy,  and  as  a  member  and  trustee  was  deeply  interested  in  the 
welfare  of  the  College.  He  was  president  of  the  Kensington  Electric  Company,  and  active 
in  many  civic,  charitable  and  fraternal  organizations. 

William  Mclntyre  passed  away  in  1913  beloved  by  all  who  knew  him— men,  women  and 
children  alike.  He  made  the  best  possible  use  of  his  talents,  by  giving  the  best  service  he 
could  to  others  ungrudgingly  and  from  no  other  motive  than  love  of  human-kind.

Albert  P.  Brown 

Trustee,  1873-1892. 

Albert  P.  Brown  was  born  in  Philadelphia  in  1840,  and  after  attending  the  public  schools, 
became  an  apprentice  at  the  pharmacy  of  William  B.  Webb,  at  Tenth  and  Spring  Garden 
Streets.  Shortly  after  graduation  (1862),  he  removed  to  Camden,  N.  J.,  where  he  established 
a  drug  store  at  Fifth  and  Federal  Streets  and  continued  in  business  until  his  demise. 

He  early  identified  himself  with  pharmaceutical  matters  in  New  Jersey,  was  recording 
secretary  of  the  State  Pharmaceutical  Association  from  1876  to  1884,  when  he  was  elected  its 
president  for  the  succeeding  year,  and  for  over  eight  years  was  secretary  of  the  State  Board 


ALBERT  P.  BROWN 


of  Pharmacy.  He  was  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  for  twenty- 
two  years;  and  for  twenty  years  a  member  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  much 
of  the  time  doing  service  on  the  Board  of  Trustees  (1873-1892). 

Upon  the  organization  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  College,  he  served  as  a  member 
of  the  Executive  Board,  became  vice-president  in  1872,  and  in  1878  was  elected  president. 

He  devoted  much  of  his  leisure  time  to  work  with  the  microscope  and  to  the  photo- 
graphing of  microscopical  objects,  his  productions  being  characterized  by  scrupulous  accu- 
racy and  attractive  neatness.  When  the  Alumni  Association  decided  to  give  to  the  students 
of  the  College  the  opportunity  of  familiarizing  themselves  with  microscopical  work  (1882), 
Mr.  Brown  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  new  laboratory ;  and  it  was  due  to  his  enthusiasm  in 
this  work  that  many  difficulties  were  surmounted,  and  he  remained  at  his  post  of  duty,  even 
though  his  health  had  become  impared  by  an  attack  of  the  grippe  developing  into  tuberculosis 
of  the  throat,  which  disease  terminated  his  life  April  19,  1892. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       385 

Albert  P.  Brown  deserves  especial  praise  for  his  development  of  the  microscopical 
laboratory  of  the  Alumni  Association,  later  the  botanical  and  microscopical  laboratory  of  the 
College,  which  became  possible  through  his  self-sacrificing  labor. 

Alonzo  Robbins 

Trustee,  1878-1896. 

Alonzo  Robbins  was  born  in  1834  in  Pottstown,  Pa.  He  graduated  from  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy  in  1855,  was  elected  a  member  in  1866,  and  in  1878  became  a  member 
of  its  Board  of  Trustees. 

After  graduation  he  was  engaged  for  the  most  part  as  a  drug  clerk  until  the  close  of  the 
Civil  War,  when  he  engaged  in  the  retail  drug  business  for  himself  at  Eleventh  and  Vine 
Streets,  where  he  remained  until  his  death  (1896). 

He  took  a  deep  interest  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  pharmacy,  and  was  an  occasional 
contributor  to  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy.  He  did  considerable  work  in  connection 


ALONZO  ROBBINS 

with  the  formation  of  the  pharmaceutical  laws  of  the  State,  and  when  the  Pennsylvania  Board 
of  Pharmacy  was  appointed,  became,  on  June  23,  1887,  its  first  president.  This  position  he 
held  until  May,  1895,  when  he  resigned. 

No  small  share  of  credit  was  due  him,  also,  for  his  efforts  in  helping  to  found  the 
Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association,  of  which  he  was  a  member.  He  was  also  a  mem- 
ber of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association. 

Alonzo  Robbins  was  a  member  of  the  Committee  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy for  carrying  on  work  for  the  Committee  on  Revision  of  the  1880  Pharmacopoeia.  His 
subject  was  fluid  extracts,  and  he  performed  a  large  number  of  experiments  for  determining 
the  most  satisfactory  formulae  for  these  preparations.

Edwin  M.  Boring 

Trustee,  1878-1920. 

Edwin  McCurdy  Boring  was  born  at  Lancaster,  Pa.,  October  24,  1839.  He  was  the  son 
of  John  Dobbins  Boring  and  Catherine  McCurdy  Boring.  His  boyhood  days  were  spent 
in  his  hometown  where  he  attended  high  school.  Thereafter,  about  1857,  he  worked  for  a 
time  in  Welchen's  drug  store  in  Lancaster,  and  for  a  few  months  in  Philadelphia,  after  which 
he  returned  to  Lancaster.  He  responded  to  Lincoln's  call  for  75,000  volunteers,  and  entered 
the  three  months'  service  with  the  Lancaster  Fencibles  April  18,  1861.  At  the  expiration  of 
such  time,  he  re-entered  in  Company  E,  79th  Pennsylvania  Volunteers,  first  as  a  private  and 
was  commissioned  first  lieutenant  June  19,  1864.  He  took  part  in  a  number  of  the  great 
battles  of  the  war,  and  was  mustered  out  in  July,  1865.  As  a  member  of  the  Executive  Com-

assisted  in  the  erection  of  the  monument  at  Chickamauga  Park  to  the  79th  Pennsylvania 
Volunteers. 

After  the  war,  September  4,  1865,  he  came  to  Philadelphia  and  entered  the  employment 
of  Edward  B.  Garrigues,  at  Tenth  and  Fairmount  Avenue.  During  the  same  year  he  matricu- 
lated at  the  College  and  graduated  in  1867.  In  1868  he  became  a  partner  of  Mr.  Garrigues, 
and  continued  as  such  until  the  latter's  retirement  in  1887,  when  Mr.  Boring  became  the  sole 
proprietor,  continuing  the  business  until  1919,  when  he  retired.  He  had  many  apprentices 
in  his  store  who  became  widely  known  in  the  pharmaceutical  world  and  once  said,  "My  big- 
gest and  finest  asset  is  the  respect  and  kindly  feelings  of  the  young  men  I  have  employed." 
He  was  elected  a  trustee  of  the  College  in  1878,  and  continued  as  such  for  nearly  half  a  century, 
rendering  most  faithful  and  efficient  service.  He  became  a  member  of  the  American  Pharma- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       387 

ceutical  Association  in  1867,  and  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Philadelphia  Wholesale 
Drug  Company,  and  a  member  of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  the 
Philadelphia  Association  of  Retail  Druggists.  He  died  June  22,  1920. 

As  a  citizen  Edwin  M.  Boring  stood  for  all  that  was  best  in  civic  life,  and  loyalty,  sense 
of  duty  and  obligation  to  his  profession,  and  to  his  fellow  men,  were  his  dominant  character- 
istics. 

Wallace  Procter 

Trustee,  1883-1909. 

Wallace  Procter  was  born  (1851)  in  Philadelphia.  He  was  the  only  son  of  William  Proc- 
ter, Jr.,  and  Margaretta  (Bullock)  Procter.  His  early  education  was  had  in  private  schools 
and  the  Friends'  Central  School. 

He  entered  his  father's  store  in  1868,  and  graduated  from  the  College  in  1872,  the  subject 
of  his  thesis  being  "Magnolia  Tripetala" ;  he  won  the  Alumni  Gold  Medal. 


WALLACE  PROCTER 

After  graduation  he  associated  himself  with  his  father  in  the  drug  business  until  the 
latter's  death  (1874),  and  then  entered  into  copartnership  with  David  Preston  as  William 
Procter,  Jr.,  Co.,  which  partnership  continued  until  1890,  when  Wallace  Procter  purchased  a 
drug  store  at  1900  Pine  Street.  Here  he  remained  in  active  practice  for  twelve  years  and  then 
entered  the  service  of  the  Ohio  Valley  Drug  Company,  at  Wheeling,  West  Virginia,  and  re- 
mained in  this  position  until  his  demise  on  May  27,  1911. 

Wallace  Procter  was  a  devoted  and  earnest  worker  for  his  Alma  Mater.  He  was  elected 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  in  1883 ;  and  in  1888  became  a  member  of  the  Committee 
on  Examination  and  its  chairman  in  1890,  serving  for  seventeen  years. 


388       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

He  was  a  member,  also,  of  the  Committee  on  Instruction,  and  of  the  Committee  on 
Property,  and  in  1894  became  a  member  of  the  Publishing  Committee  of  the  American  Journal 
of  Pharmacy.  He  was  an  active  worker  in  the  Alumni  Association,  serving  as  its  recording 
secretary  (1876-1878),  and  was  a  member  of  the  Executive  Board  for  some  years.  He  was 
twice  elected  as  first  vice-president,  1878  and  1885,  and  became  president  in  1886.  In  1887  he 
was  again  elected  to  the  Executive  Board  and  continued  in  this  capacity  a  number  of  years. 
He  was  one  of  the  pioneer  workers  in  the  Association  in  the  early  days  when  this  meant 
devoted  and  continued  service  under  discouraging  circumstances.  He  lived  to  see  the  Asso- 
ciation flourish  and  grow,  and  he  was  foremost  in  encouraging  College  spirit. 

He  became  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1874,  and  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1881.  He  contributed  many  papers  to  pharma- 
ceutical organizations  and  periodicals.  Like  his  father  he  accepted  service  in  many  capacities 
where  the  sole  reward  was  the  simple  satisfaction  of  doing  good  and  advancing  the  interests 
of  pharmacy. 

This  simple  record  of  the  life-work  of  Wallace  Procter  gives  but  a  faint  picture  of  his 
achievements.  "He  possessed  an  excellent  mind,  developed  by  education  and  environment. 
He  loved  books  and  was  an  omnivorous  reader,  and  all  branches  of  pharmacy  claimed  his 
attention.  His  admiration  for  his  father  and  the  great  mission  which  the  latter  fulfilled, 
were  ever  before  him ;  and,  while  he  did  not  inherit  the  love  for  original  investigation  which 
dominated  William  Procter,  Wallace  had  an  analytical  mind  and  never  trusted  to  surface 
indications.  The  son  practiced  what  the  father  taught  and  added  knowledge  fitted  for  his 
time  and  generation"  (Joseph  P.  Remington). 


George  M.  Beringer 

Trustee,  1893-1921 ;  Chairman  of  Board  of  Trustees,  1910-1921. 

George  Mahlon  Beringer  son  of  Lev!  D.  and  Rebecca  Beringer,  was  born  in  Philadel- 
phia on  February  3,  1860.  He  obtained  his  early  education  in  the  public  schools,  graduating 
from  the  Central  High  School  in  1876,  with  the  degree  of  A.B.  He  immediately  entered  the 
employ  of  Bullock  and  Crenshaw,  and  graduated  from  the  College  in  1880,  the  subject  of  his 
thesis  being  "Caffeina."  Subsequently,  he  engaged  in  laboratory  work  with  Bullock  and 
Crenshaw,  and  later  became  a  department  manager. 

In  1892  he  was  chosen  Director  of  the  Microscopical  Laboratory  conducted  by  the 
Alumni  Association  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  performed  the  duties  of 
this  position  until  the  Association  turned  the  laboratory  over  to  the  College  in  1894. 

Mr.  Beringer  remained  with  Bullock  and  Crenshaw  until  June  1,  1892,  when  he  purchased 
from  the  estate  of  Albert  P.  Brown,  the  latter's  store  at  Fifth  and  Federal  Streets,  Camden, 
N.  J.,  and  continued  the  business,  in  the  conduct  of  which  he  has  been  eminently  successful. 

He  is  a  life  member  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  was  elected  a  trustee 
in  1893.  He  was  active  in  the  affairs  of  the  College  for  many  years,  especially  as  a  member 
of  the  committee  on  publication  and  the  committee  on  instruction  of  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
rendering  valuable  service.  He  was  given  the  honorary  degree  of  master  in  pharmacy  by  the 
College  in  1903.  He  was  elected  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  in  1910.  In  1917  he 
became  editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  and  did  much  to  develop  that  periodical 
during  his  four  years  of  service  as  editor. 

Mr.  Beringer  was  a  member  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  of 
1910,  and  the  Committee  on  National  Formulary  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association 
of  1908,  in  the  work  of  which  his  comprehensive  knowledge  of  pharmacy  and  allied  sciences 
and  his  critical  judgment  did  much  to  give  to  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  (IX)  and  the  National 
Formulary  (IV)  their  practicality.  He  is  a  member  of  the  present  Committee  of  Revision 
of  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia  and  the  Committee  on  National  Formulary. 

He  has  taken  deep  interest  in  the  work  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
having  been  elected  a  member  in  1893 ;  chairman  of  the  section  on  practical  pharmacy  and 
dispensing  in  1902-1903;  and  president  of  the  Association  in  1913-1914. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       389 

He  is  a  member  of  the  New  Jersey  Pharmaceutical  Association,  in  which  he  has  been 
most  active,  and  of  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association  of  which  he  is  an  honorary 
member;  also,  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  of  Philadelphia,  of  the  Philadelphia 
Botanical  Club,  and  of  other  bodies ;  and  is  deeply  interested  in  movements  for  the  betterment 
and  development  of  his  city,  being  a  director  of  the  local  Board  of  Trade,  member  of  the 
City  Planning  Commission  of  Camden,  and  secretary  of  the  Guarantee  Building  and  Loan 
Association  of  Camden. 


GEORGE  M.  BERINGER 

George  M.  Beringer  was  trained  by  Charles  Bullock,  as  the  latter  had  been  by  Daniel  B. 
Smith,  and  it  was  but  natural  that,  early  in  his  business  career,  he  should  have  been  inspired  by 
the  life  work  of  these  two  leaders  of  American  pharmaceutical  research,  and  become  himself 
a  devotee  of  research.  His  contributions  to  scientific  organizations  and  periodicals,  during 
the  past  forty  years  or  more,  have  been  many  and  of  great  scientific  and  practical  value. 

William  E.  Lee 

Trustee,  1909-1914. 

William  E.  Lee  was  born  (1850)  at  Woodbury,  N.  J.  He  was  the  son  of  Walter  B. 
and  Martha  Lee.  Receiving  his  early  education  in  the  public  schools  of  that  town,  he  studied 
pharmacy  with  B.  F.  Carter,  of  Woodbury.  Later  he  matriculated  at  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy,  graduating  therefrom  in  1872,  the  subject  of  his  thesis  being  "Gnaphalium 
Polycephalum." 

A  few  years  later  he  opened  a  drug  store  at  2337  Brown  Street,  Philadelphia,  where  he 
was  in  business  for  forty-three  years.

Mr.  Lee  showed  his  devotion  to  his  alma  mater.  He  served  as  a  member  of  its  Board 
of  Trustees,  being  especially  active  in  the  work  of  the  committee  on  examinations,  and  was 
president  of  the  Alumni  Association  (1913-1914).  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Pennsyl- 
vania Pharmaceutical  Association,  rendering  valuable  service,  especially  as  chairman  of  the 
committee  on  membership.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Philadelphia  Association  of  Retail 
Druggists,  and  of  the  National  Association  of  Retail  Druggists.  He  joined  the  American

He  was  a  member  of  the  Olivet  Covenant  Presbyterian  Church,  and  an  earnest  worker 
in  the  cause  of  civic  reform.  He  died  July  20,  1914. 

William  E.  Lee  was  genial,  warm-hearted  and  true  to  the  highest  ideals.  He  believed 
that  character  was  the  most  important  thing  in  life,  and  that  the  dollar  was  only  a  means  to 
an  end.  He  did  a  man's  work  and  exerted  an  influence  for  good  that  cannot  be  measured, 
and  his  deeds  will  live  long  after  him.  Quiet  and  modest,  but  positive  in  matters  of  prin- 
ciple, he  practiced  in  life  those  principles  of  religion  and  morality  which  stamped  him  as 
a  man  among  men;  he  brought  honor  to  his  craft,  and  won  the  respect  and  love  of  his  fel- 
lows, hundreds  testifying  of  his  aid  to  them  in  sickness  and  distress. 

His  widow,  Nellie  Florence  Lee,  secretary  of  the  Women's  Organization  of  the  National 
Association  of  Retail  Druggists,  is  president  of  the  Philadelphia  Chapter  of  that  organization, 
and  also  an  active  member  of  the  College.

Thomas  S.  Wiegand  was  born  November  9,  182S,  in  Philadelphia.  He  received  his  early 
education  in  a  well-known  private  school  conducted  by  Joseph  P.  Engles.  In  January,  1840, 
he  became  an  apprentice  in  pharmacy  with  Haskell  A.  Merrick,  a  Philadelphia  pharmacist. 

Mr.  Wiegand  matriculated  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1842  and  gradu- 
ated in  1844  as  a  Ph.G. 

In  1845  he  was  appointed  apothecary  to  the  New  York  Naval  Hospital  which  position 
he  retained  until  1847  when  he  resigned  to  associate  himself  in  business  with  Frederick  Brown, 


THOMAS  S.  WIEGAND 

with  whom  he  remained  until  1851  when  he  entered  into  the  retail  business  on  his  own  ac- 
count. Owing  to  ill  health  he  was  compelled  to  retire  from  retail  pharmacy  in  1866.  He 
then  entered  the  employ  of  Bullock  and  Crenshaw  where  he  had  charge  of  the  sugar-coated 
pill  department  for  sixteen  years.  He  then  again  entered  the  retail  business  which  he  con- 
tinued until  1885. 

In  1878  Mr.  Wiegand  was  elected  Actuary  of  the  College,  which  position  he  held  until 
he  was  succeeded  by  W.  Nelson  Stem  in  1900,  and  for  the  remainder  of  his  life  he  was 
Librarian  of  the  College,  the  duties  of  which  position  he  had  assumed  in  1890.

first  became  a  member  of  the  College  and  in  1854  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees,  which  position  he  held  until  1900. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       393 

He  was  a  loyal  worker  in  the  Alumni  Association  during  the  early  years  of  its  history. 
He  was  President  of  the  Association  for  seven  consecutive  terms  (1865-1872),  being  the  only 
president  in  the  history  of  the  organization  to  be  honored  with  more  than  one  term. 

Thomas  S.  Wiegand  was  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  from 
1857  until  the  time  of  his  death  in  1909.  He  was  the  most  popular  officer  which  the  College 
has  ever  had  and  was  idolized  by  the  students.  His  remarkable  memory  for  names  and  faces 
and  his  readiness  to  act  as  a  fatherly  adviser  to  many  students  in  their  perplexities  and  diffi- 
culties endeared  him  to  the  thousands  of  students  who  passed  through  the  College  while 
he  was  connected  with  the  institution.  The  memory  of  "Uncle  Tommy,"  as  he  was  lovingly 
called,  is  a  very  dear  one  with  the  older  graduates  of  the  College  who  are  still  living. 

W.  Nelson  Stem 

Registrar,  1900-1903. 

W.  Nelson  Stem  was  born  May  12,  1849,  at  Fredericksburg,  Virginia.  Shortly  after

entered  the  drug  store  of  C.  A.  Vorhees  and  Co.  He  later  returned  to  Lafayette  and  com- 
pleted the  junior  year  in  1868.  He  then  left  his  Lafayette  College  course  permanently  and

the  College,  and  in  1900,  became  secretary  of  the  Board  and  Registrar.  He  held  this 
latter  position  until  his  decease,  which  occurred  suddenly  from  heart  failure  on  March  14,  1903.

after  selling  his  older  store,  which  he  did  in  1894,  when  he  accepted  a  position  of  confi- 
dential responsibility  with  John  Wyeth  and  Brother  which  he  retained  until  1896.

In  July,  1903  he  sold  his  remaining  store  in  Wilmington  and  in  September  of  the  same 
year  accepted  the  position  of  Registrar  at  the  College.  He  has  conscientiously  and  faith- 
fully performed  the  duties  of  this  important  office  for  nearly  twenty  years  and  has  in- 
augurated many  improvements  in  methods  of  handling  the  difficult  and  voluminous  work 
which  pertains  to  this  position. 

Jacob  S.  Beetem  is  a  member  of  the  Masonic  order  and  also  holds  membership  in 
the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  frequently  attends  the  meetings  of  the 
latter  organization.  He  has  made  many  friends  among  the  students  and  officers  of  the  Col- 
lege during  the  many  years  that  he  has  been  in  its  service. 


WILLIAM  R.  KEENEY 

William  R.  Keeney 

Director  of  Department  of  Supplies,  1919- 

William  R.  Keeney  was  born  December  15,  1858.  He  was  an  apprentice  in  the  pharmacy 
of  his  father,  Caleb  R.  Keeney,  at  Sixteenth  and  Arch  Streets,  Philadelphia,  and  graduated 
from  the  College  in  1878  with  the  degree  of  Ph.G.

He  was  associated  for  many  years  with  his  father's  business,  to  which  he  later  suc- 
ceeded. In  1915  he  severed  his  connection  with  retail  pharmacy  and  for  several  years  was 
connected  with  the  scientific  department  of  Williams.  Brown  and  Earle.  Philadelphia. 

In  1919  he  assumed  charge  of  the  Department  of  Supplies  of  the  College,  which  posi- 
tion he  still  occupies.  He  resides  at  Wayne,  Pennsylvania,  where  he  devotes  his  spare 
time  to  gardening. 

FACULTY  OF  THE  COLLEGE 
Samuel  Jackson 

Founder;  Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy,  1821-1827;  Second  Vice-Presi- 
dent, 1827-1829,  1831-1836;  First  Vice-President,  1829-1831. 

Samuel  Jackson,  the  first  professor  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy  in  the  College, 
Troost's  colleague  in  the  first  Faculty  of  the  school,  was  born  in  Philadelphia  on  March  22, 
1787.  His  father,  Dr.  David  Jackson,  of  Chester  County,  was  a  member  of  the  first  class 
to  be  graduated  from  the  medical  school  of  the  College  of  Philadelphia,  later  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania,  in  1768.  The  son  received  a  classical  education  and  then  studied  medicine 
in  the  University,  taking  his  medical  degree  in  1808.  The  father  had  become  the  proprietor 
of  a  drug  store  on  North  Fourth  Street  in  Philadelphia,  and  at  his  death  in  1801,  an  elder 
son  succeeded  to  the  business.  He  too  died  in  1809,  when  to  Samuel  came  the  task  of  con- 
tinuing the  business.  This  duty  he  took  up  owing  to  the  dependent  state  of  the  family. 
But  he  had  no  liking  or  talent  for  trade,  and  he  left  the  store  with  heavy  pecuniary  obliga- 
tions, which,  however,  at  a  later  day,  he  discharged  to  the  full  from  his  earnings  in  the 
medical  profession. 

While  still  engaged  in  business.  Dr.  Jackson,  during  the  war  of  1812,  joined  the  "First 
Troop  of  City  Cavalry"  of  Philadelphia  and  went  out  into  the  field  with  that  company  to 
resist  the  advance  of  the  British  in  Maryland. 

After  the  termination  of  the  war  in  1815,  he  began  practice  as  a  physician.  Of  an  ardent 
temperament  with  a  very  active  mind,  he  interested  himself  in  many  of  the  movements  for 
the  well-being  of  his  fellow  citizens.  He  became  president  of  the  first  Board  of  Health  of 
Philadelphia  in  1820.  While  in  this  position  he  did  memorable  service  in  the  suppression  of 
the  yellow  fever  epidemic  of  that  year.  As  a  link  between  the  professions  of  pharmacy 
and  medicine,  he  had  taken  a  part  in  forming  the  College,  and  he  was  properly  chosen  on 
April  23,  1821  to  be  one  of  its  first  professors.  While  occupying  this  place,  he  was  invited 
to  take  charge  of  certain  courses  for  medical  students,  given  between  terms  at  the  Uni- 
versity, instituted  by  Dr.  Chapman.  In  1822,  he  was  elected  to  be  one  of  the  attending 
physicians  at  the  Philadelphia  Almshouse,  where  a  system  was  introduced  of  delivering 
lectures  twice  a  week.  In  1827  he  was  chosen  to  assist  Dr.  Chapman  in  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  with  the  duty  of  lecturing  upon  the  institutes  of  medicine,  and  he  became 
full  professor  of  this  branch  in  1835. 

Already  in  May,  1827,  so  many  duties  claimed  the  attention  of  Jackson  that  he  had 
resigned  his  professorship  in  the  College.  He  held  his  chair  at  the  University  however,  until 
1863.  For  thirty-six  years  he  was  a  member  of  the  teaching  force  of  that  institution ;  for 
twenty-eight  years  he  was  professor  of  the  institutes  of  medicine. 

Doctor  Jackson's  name  is  connected  with  three  preparations  which  were  used  as  popular 
remedies,  viz.,  Jackson's  Pectoral  Syrup ;  Jackson's  Ammonia  Lozenges ;  and  Jackson's  Pec- 
toral and  Ammonia  Lozenges.  The  original  formulas  are  given  in  the  American  Journal 
of  Pharmacy,  1852,  34,  36.  His  name  is  also  connected  with  an  iodine  solution  called 
"Lugol's  Diluted  or  Jackson's  Iodine  Solution,"  which  is  quite  similar  to  the  compound  solu- 
tion of  iodine  now  official  (Amer.  Jour.  Pharm.,  1834,  116).  At  one  time  there  was  largely 
used  a  "dissolving  salve  for  breasts"  which  is  made  according  to  a  formula  devised  by 
Professor  Jackson  (Ibid.,  1864,  116.) 

Jackson  died  on  April  4,  1872,  at  the  age  of  eighty-five,  after  he  won  a  great  name  for 
himself  in  American  medicine.  He  was  an  active  member  of  the  original  Publishing  Com- 
mittee of  the  Journal  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  was  the  author  of 
many  original  articles  detailing  his  observations  as  a  teacher  and  physician. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       397 

Gerard  Troost 

Professor  of  Pharmaceutical  and  General  Chemistry,  1821-1822. 

Gerard  Troost,  the  first  professor  of  chemistry  in  the  College,  was  born  at  Bois-le  Due, 
Holland,  on  March  5,  1776.  He  studied  chemistry,  geology,  and  allied  sciences  at  Leyden, 
which  university  gave  him  the  degree  of  doctor  of  medicine,  and  at  Amsterdam,  where  he 
obtained  the  degree  of  master  of  pharmacy.  In  his  country's  military  service  he  was  severely 
wounded.  Recovering  he  went  to  Paris  in  1807  to  further  pursue  his  studies.  In  a  scientific 
capacity,  by  appointment  of  the  Crown,  he  accompanied  a  naval  expedition  to  Java,  but 
he  was  captured  by  an  English  privateer  and  taken  to  Dunkirk.  Escaping,  he  embarked 
in  an  American  vessel  for  New  York,  hoping  to  reach  the  East  Indies  under  our  flag,  but 
before  arriving  in  the  United  States  he  was  again  captured  and  carried  back  to  Dunkirk. 
Upon  his  release,  he  was  once  more  for  a  time  in  Paris,  but  in  1810  he  came  to  Philadelphia, 
still  cherishing  the  hope  of  proceeding  to  Java,  but  the  surrender  of  the  island  to  England 
led  him  to  give  up  the  plan,  and  he  settled  permanently  in  the  United  States.  In  1812  he 
helped  to  institute  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  of  Philadelphia  and  became  its  first 
president. 

During  his  residence  in  the  city,  he  was  interested  in  a  number  of  manufacturing  ex- 
periments. But  neither  this  nor  other  enterprises  which  he  promoted  met  with  success. 
Though  he  spoke  English  with  a  decided  foreign  accent,  he  lectured  frequently.  In  1821 
he  delivered  a  course  on  mineralogy  in  the  Philadelphia  Museum,  offering  a  public  course 
on  pharmacy  and  making  geological  explorations  for  the  Philadelphia  Society  for  Promoting 
Agriculture  and  for  other  bodies. 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  College  elected  Gerard  Troost  and  Samuel  Jackson  as 
the  first  professors  in  the  school  on  April  23,  1821,  and  in  November  of  that  year,  they 
began  their  lectures  in  the  German  Hall  on  Seventh  Street.  Troost  continued  in  the  place 
for  only  one  year,  to  be  succeeded  by  George  B.  Wood. 

A  gentle  dreamer  in  whom  learning  was  mixed  with  generous  philanthropy,  looking 
to  a  reformation  of  the  social  order,  Troost,  with  William  Maclure,  Say,  Lesueur  and  other 
scientists  joined  Robert  Owen  in  his  communistic  experiment  at  New  Harmony  in  Indiana. 
Two  years  of  this  sufficed.  In  1827  he  removed  to  Nashville,  where  he  helped  to  found 
the  University  of  Nashville,  and  became  in  1828,  its  professor  of  chemistry,  geology  and 
mineralogy.  There  he  remained  for  twenty-two  years,  or  until  his  death  in  1850.  For  a 
portion  of  this  time,  from  1831  to  1839,  he  was  State  Geologist  for  Tennessee.  At  his 
death  he  possessed  a  cabinet  of  about  15,000  geological  specimens  which  was  accounted  to  be 
the  finest  private  collection  of  its  kind  in  the  United  States.  An  important  zinc  mineral 
(anhydrous  zinc  silicate),  found  largely  near  Franklin,  N.  J.,  is  named  troostite  after  him. 

Troost's  entire  life  was  consecrated  to  the  then  infant  sciences  of  geology,  mineralogy 
and  chemistry  with  results  that  won  recognition  at  home  and  abroad. 


George  B.  Wood 

Professor  of  Pharmaceutical  and  General  Chemistry,  1822-1831 ;  Professor  of  Materia 
Medica  and  Pharmacy,  1831-1835;  Second  Vice-President,  1836-1843. 

George  B.  Wood  was,  in  his  day,  probably  the  most  distinguished  member  of  the  Faculty 
of  the  College.  If  this  title  be  not  his  for  original  scientific  investigation  per  se,  it  will  be 
accorded  to  him  by  reason  of  his  remarkable  power  of  interpretation  and  exposition  of 
scientific  facts  and  principles,  and  his  extraordinary  industry  in  connection  with  the  United 
States  Pharmacopoeia  and  its  commentary  the  United  States  Dispensatory. 

He  was  born  in  Cumberland  County,  N.  J.,  March  13,  1797,  of  Quaker  parents.  He 
was  graduated  from  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1815  as  an  A.B.,  studied  medicine  under 
Dr.  Joseph  Parrish  and  received  his  doctor  degree  from  the  University  in  1818.  He  was 
lecturing  in  the  private  school  which  Parrish  maintained  for  medical  students,  and  giving 
public  courses  before  he  came  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  to  succeed  Troost 
as  professor  of  chemistry  in  1822. 


398       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Already  his  knowledge  was  so  comprehensive  that  he  could  have  filled,  it  is  said,  any 
one  of  a  considerable  number  of  teaching  positions.  In  college,  and  afterward,  he  was  known 
as  a  writer  of  verse,  in  Latin  as  well  as  in  English.  He  translated  from  German.  He 
wrote  a  novel  which,  however,  was  never  published.  He  concerned  himself  with  questions 
of  education  and  was  a  public  advocate  of  higher  standards  of  professional  conduct.  At 
the  death  of  Benjamin  Ellis  in  1831,  Wood  was  transferred  to  the  chair  of  materia  medica 
and  pharmacy,  and  Franklin  Bache  came  to  take  up  the  course  of  chemistry  in  the  school. 

It  was  while  he  was  lecturing  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  that,  as  a  member 
of  a  committee  of  the  College  of  Physicians,  Wood  turned  over  his  revision  of  the  Phar- 
macopoeia. The  convention,  which  had  authorized  the  first  edition  of  the  work  in  1820, 
provided  for  revisions  at  the  end  of  every  ten-year  period.  In  1830,  Wood,  with  the  assist- 
ance of  Franklin  Bache  and  others,  was  ready  with  an  entirely  new  draft.  It  became  at 
once  a  standard  work.  Wood,  and  his  friend  Bache,  also,  by  this  time,  professor  in  the 
College,  immediately  began  the  preparation  of  a  commentary  on  the  Pharmacopoeia,  the 
United  States  Dispensatory,  a  volume  of  more  than  1,000  pages  which  was  completed  in 
less  than  two  years.  It  was  instantly  seen  to  supply  an  indispensable  need,  and  was  issued 
and  reissued.  During  Wood's  life  it  passed  through  fourteen  large  editions,  estimated  to 
number  120,000  copies.  He  also  interested  himself  in  the  later  revisions  of  the  Pharma- 
copoeia, for  the  improvement  of  which  he  was  tirelessly  active. 

He  resigned  his  chair  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  upon  his  election  to 
the  chair  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy  in  the  Medical  Department  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  in  183S.  In  this  place  he  remained  until  1850,  when  he  was  transferred  to 
the  professorship  of  the  theory  and  practice  of  medicine,  hitherto  held  by  Professor  Xa- 
thaniel  Chapman,  making  himself,  at  this  notable  period  in  the  history  of  medical  education 
in  Philadelphia,  a  prominent  figure  in  its  development  to  high  fame.  He  was  held  to  have 
been  the  most  brilliant  of  the  many  excellent  lecturers  of  the  times.  In  1860  he  withdrew 
from  active  service  as  a  teacher,  although  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
University  and  in  other  posts  he  still  had  a  large  part  in  the  intellectual  movements  of 
the  city  until  his  death  in  1879. 

For  many  years  Wood  was  president  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society  and  of 
the  College  of  the  Physicians  of  Philadelphia.  Several  medical  works,  a  treatise  on  the 
"Practice  of  Medicine"  published  in  1847,  another  on  "Therapeutics  and  Pharmacology" 
published  in  1856,  both  of  which  passed  through  several  editions,  supplemented  his  labors 
on  the  Pharmacopoeia  and  the  U.  S.  Dispensatory.  His  "History  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania"  stands  as  evidence  of  his  deep  interest  in  this  great  institution. 

Benjamin  Ellis 

Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy,  1827-1831. 

Benjamin  Ellis  succeeded  Dr.  Jackson  as  professor  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy  in 
the  College  in  1827.  He  was  born  in  Muncy,  Pa.,  on  May  5,  1798,  being  one  of  a  Quaker 
family  of  eleven  children,  whose  parents  William  and  Mercy  Ellis,  the  latter  a  well  known 
preacher  of  the  Society  of  Friends,  settled  at  an  early  date  on  lands  in  Lycoming  county  which 
even  yet  was  not  far  from  a  wilderness.  He  attended  school  at  home  and  then  went  to  a 
seminary  at  Manhattanville,  near  New  York,  where  he  completed  his  English  education 
and  studied  Latin  and  French.  While  at  school  in  1815,  he  proceeded  three  times  a  week 
to  New  York,  a  distance  of  eight  miles,  to  hear  the  lectures  of  Professor  John  Griscom,  who 
implanted  an  interest  in  chemistry  in  Daniel  B.  Smith  and  so  many  men  who  made  them- 
selves notable  figures  in  the  early  scientific  history  of  the  country. 

Soon  young  Ellis  was  in  a  leading  drug  store  in  Philadelphia  studying  pharmacy,  and 
passed  to  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  where  he  took  his  degree  as  doctor  of  medicine 
in  1822.  While  still  in  the  medical  school  he  was  a  house  pupil  of  the  Philadelphia  Dis- 
pensary. At  his  graduation  he  became  a  physician  of  the  dispensary  and  of  the  Board  of 
Guardians  to  attend  the  out-door  poor,  thankless  duties  which  he  performed  with  scrupulous 
care.  Coming  in  1827  to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  in  which  his  younger  brother. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       399 

Charles  Ellis,  who  had  lately  purchased  the  old  Marshall  drug  store,  was  already  a  factor 
of  importance,  he  gave  four  courses  in  the  school.  Death  interrupted  his  labors  on  April 
23,  1831,  in  the  midst  of  ambitious  plans  for  the  promotion  of  science. 

Simple,  unaffected,  cheerful  and  generous,  few  men  it  is  said  were  "ever  more  beloved 
in  their  circle  of  intimate  friends  than  Benjamin  Ellis."  He  infused  into  the  minds  of  pupils 
an  ardent  love  of  science,  but  he  is  most  entitled  to  remembrance  in  the  history  of  the  College 
for  having  reorganized  the  Journal  in  April,  1829,  and  establishing  it  on  a  firm  foundation  as 
a  quarterly  publication.  It  was  largely  due  to  his  perseverance  that  the  periodical  reappeared 
after  its  first  not  too  successful  issues.  He  had  contributed  to  the  first  series  several  editorial 
and  other  articles.  As  editor  of  the  new  volumes  he  was  aided  by  his  brother,  Charles 
Ellis,  Daniel  B.  Smith.  S  P.  Griffits,  Jr.  and  George  B.  Wood  serving  as  members  of  the 
Publishing  Committee.  For  the  last  two  years  of  his  life  he  was  a  physician  to  the  Phila- 
delphia Almshouse.  In  his  brief  life  he  found  the  time  to  write  a  "Medical  Formulary" 
which  filled  a  national  need  and  gained  immediate  recognition  abroad.  It  ran  through 
eleven  editions,  the  last  of  which  was  the  revision  made  by  Dr.  Robert  P.  Thomas  in  1864. 


Franklin  Bache 

Professor  of  Pharmaceutical  and  General  Chemistry,  1831-1841. 

Franklin  Bache,  the  third  to  occupy  the  chair  of  chemistry  in  the  College,  was  a  great 
grandson  of  Benjamin  Franklin,  the  eldest  son  of  Benjamin  Franklin  Bache,  the  editor  of 
the  Aurora  who  opposed  Washington  and  Adams  and  the  Federalists  with  so  much  indomitable 
energy  in  that  newspaper,  and  who  died  during  the  yellow  fever  epidemic  of  1798.  He  was 
born  in  1792.  Young  Bache,  after  studying  at  the  Rev.  Dr.  Wylie's  well  known  private 
academy,  was  sent  to  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in 
1810  as  an  A.B.,  and  in  1814  as  a  doctor  of  medicine.  He  spent  some  time  in  the  army 
as  a  surgeon  and  upon  his  return  to  his  native  city  began  the  practice  of  his  profession. 
He  held  two  or  three  small  public  positions — he  was  physician  to  the  Walnut  Street  Prison 
in  1824,  and  to  the  Eastern  Penitentiary  at  Cherry  Hill  in  1829.  But  his  practice  very 
slowly  increased  and  his  tastes  drew  him  to  scientific  research  and  to  writing  and  lecturing. 

He  was  interested  in  the  affairs  of  the  Kappa  Lambda  Society,  a  medical  association 
founded  in  1822  by  Dr.  Samuel  Brown  of  Kentucky,  who  designed  that  it  should  be  extended 
throughout  the  Union,  with  branches  in  different  localities,  affiliated  in  one  secret  brother- 
hood. Samuel  Jackson  and  Franklin  Bache  were  the  earliest  members  of  the  branch  in 
Philadelphia.  It  thrived  for  a  few  years  and  was  accounted  a  leading  influence  in  establish- 
ing harmonious  relations  between  the  various  physicians  of  the  city  and  its  environs  and  in 
elevating  ethical  standards  in  the  profession.  The  organization  published  a  quarterly  maga- 
zine from  1826  to  1831  to  which  Bache  gave  much  attention. 

Particularly  drawn  to  chemistry,  he  prepared  a  treatise  on  "  A  System  of  Chemistry  for 
the  Use  of  Students  of  Medicine,"  which  he  published  in  1819.  After  the  Franklin  Institute 
was  established  in  1824,  he  became  (1826)  its  lecturer  on  chemistry,  as  he  had  been  earlier 
in  Dr.  Thomas  T.  Hewson's  medical  school,  established  by  that  well  known  physician  to 
supplement  the  instruction  given  his  many  pupils  in  his  office.  Aided  by  Hewson's  friend- 
ship, Bache  was  drawn  into  an  active  scientific  circle  which  included  George  B.  Wood. 
Through  the  College  of  Physicians  they  were  industriously  identified  with  the  work  of  re- 
vising the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia.  This  book  had  first  been  issued  in  1820  in  Boston. 
It  was  imperfect  in  many  particulars.  Now  in  1830,  largely  through  the  labors  of  Wood 
and  Bache,  with  the  support  of  Hewson,  it  was  converted  into  a  standard  work.  This  done 
the  two  young  men  almost  immediately  began  the  preparation  of  a  commentary  upon  the 
Pharmacopoeia,  the  United  States  Dispensatory,  which  appeared  first  in  1833  to  go  through 
repeated  editions,  establishing  an  unusual  record  for  long  life  based  upon  singular  useful- 
ness and  incidentally  achieving  an  unexampled  commercial  success. 

In  1822  he  succeeded  Troost  as  professor  of  chemistry  in  the  Philadelphia  College 
of  Pharmacy;  in  1831  he  took  the  chair  of  materia  medica,  which  Samuel  Jackson  had 
vacated,  and  Bache  at  the  same  time  came  in  as  professor  of  chemistry,  a  position  which 


4OO       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

he  held  for  ten  years,  or  until  1841.  In  that  year,  he  resigned  to  accept  a  similar  position 
in  Jefferson  Medical  College,  which  he  occupied  at  the  time  of  his  death  on  March  19,  1864. 
Bache  was  actively  identified  with  the  later  revisions  of  the  Pharmacopceia.  In  1860  he  was 
chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Revision.  He  loved  science  and  was  an  industrious  writer. 
At  one  time  he  was  president  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society,  at  another  vice-president 
of  the  College  of  Physicians  of  Philadelphia.  He  held  membership  in  many  other  scientific 
bodies. 

Bache  was  made  a  Master  Mason  in  Franklin  Lodge,  No.  134  F.  and  A.  M.,  named 
after  his  great  grandfather  Benjamin  Franklin,  on  April  16,  1814. 

The  junction  of  the  minds  of  two  such  men  as  Wood  and  Bache  in  directing  the  teach- 
ing of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  its  early  years  was  of  incalculable  value  in 
giving  the  institution  a  high  scientific  standing. 

Robert  Eglesfeld  Griffith 

Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy,  1835-1836. 

Robert  Eglesfeld  Griffith,  who  succeeded  Wood  as  professor  of  materia  medica  and 
pharmacy  in  the  College,  held  the  chair  for  but  one  year,  1835-1836,  but  he  had  edited 
the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  since  the  death  of  Benjamin  Ellis.  It  was  during  this 
period  that,  by  reason  of  his  original  papers  on  medicinal  plants,  he  made  a  reputation  for 
the  journal  in  a  field  for  which  it  long  held  a  noteworthy  position.  He  was  born  in  Phila- 
delphia in  1797,  and  graduated  from  the  medical  department  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania in  1820.  In  1836  he  passed  to  the  University  of  Maryland  to  go  thence  to  the  University 
of  Virginia,  but  illness  compelled  him  to  relinquish  his  duties  and  he  proceeded  to  the  West 
Indies  to  regain  his  health.  Returning  to  the  United  States,  he  devoted  his  attention  for  a 
time  to  experimental  agriculture  on  a  farm  near  Baltimore. 

Later  he  came  back  to  Philadelphia,  giving  his  time  to  private  literary  pursuits.  He 
edited  the  translation  of  several  foreign  scientific  works  and  wrote  and  published  Griffith's 
Medical  Botany,  and  Griffith's  Universal  Formulary.  The  former  comprises  nearly  700  pages. 
Dedicated  to  Torrey  and  Gray,  with  whom  he  had  a  close  friendship,  it  soon  came  into  gen- 
eral use.  Up  to  this  time  there  was  no  book  of  an  authoritative  character  which  was  espe- 
cially designed  to  elucidate  the  vegetable  materia  medica.  It  was  not  a  compilation,  says 
Henry  Kraemer,  but  "the  product  of  a  master  mind !  On  every  page  there  is  revealed  careful 
work  and  it  is  a  credit  to  the  author."  Griffith's  "Universal  Formulary"  was  a  compendious 
collection  of  formulas  and  pharmaceutical  processes.  While  not  the  first  to  be  prepared  in  this 
country — the  first  was  that  of  Ellis — it  was  long  a  standard  work,  being  edited  after  the 
author's  death  by  Thomas,  and  then  by  Maisch. 

Griffith  was  also  a  high  authority  upon  the  subject  of  conchology  at  the  time  of  his 
death  in  1850.  He  was  one  of  the  vice-presidents  of  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  of 
Philadelphia.  His  friends  and  correspondents  included  some  of  the  most  distinguished  scien- 
tists of  Europe  as  well  as  of  this  country. 

Joseph  Carson 

Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy,  1836-1846;  Professor  of  Materia  Medica, 
1846-1850. 

Joseph  Carson,  who  succeeded  Griffith  as  professor  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy, 
was  born  in  Philadelphia,  April  19,  1808.  His  paternal  ancestors  were  originally  Scotch.  His 
grandfather,  Joseph  Carson,  was  a  shipping  merchant  in  Philadelphia,  who  signed  the  non- 
importation agreement  and  later,  like  Robert  Morris,  lent  his  credit  to  the  Continental  Con- 
gress during  the  struggle  for  American  Independence,  and  his  father,  also  Joseph  Carson, 
and  also  a  merchant,  married  Mary  Ann  Hampton,  daughter  of  Jonathan  Hampton,  an  officer 
in  the  Continental  Army. 

Young  Carson  was  the  eldest  of  five  children.  At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  entered  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania  and  graduated  as  a  bachelor  of  arts  in  the  class  of  1826.  He 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       401 

then  found  employment  in  the  drug  store  of  Edward  Lowber  of  Philadelphia,  where  he  be- 
came interested  in  botany.  He  then  decided  to  study  medicine.  His  preceptor  was  Dr.  Thomas 
T.  Hewson,  from  whose  office  he  was  matriculated  in  the  Medical  Department  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  from  which  he  received  the  medical  degree  in  1830. 

For  a  year  or  two  he  sailed  the  seas  and  visited  foreign  countries  as  a  ship's  surgeon, 
making  extended  observations  in  botanical  and  kindred  fields  during  his  travels.  Upon 
his  return,  he  engaged  in  the  general  practice  of  his  profession.  From  1836  to  1850,  while 
on  the  Faculty  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  he  published  two  notable  volumes 
on  medical  botany,  illustrated  with  100  large  colored  lithograph  plates ;  this  magnificent  and 
now  rare  work  was  the  first  dealing  with  botany  to  bear  the  imprint  of  a  professor  of  the 
College  on  its  title  page. 

He  was  the  editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  during  the  entire  period  of 
his  connection  with  the  school.  His  resignation  in  1850  followed  his  election  to  the  chair 
of  materia  medica  in  the  Medical  Department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  as  the 
successor  of  Dr.  George  B.  Wood,  a  place  which  he  held  until  1876,  when  he  retired  by 
reason  of  ill  health  to  be  made  a  professor  emeritus.  His  death  ensued  in  his  sixty-ninth  year. 
His  writings  in  addition  to  what  have  been  named  cover  a  large  field. 

Carson  held  many  offices  and  enjoyed  many  honors  outside  of  the  Philadelphia  Col- 
lege of  Pharmacy  and  the  University  of  Pennsylvania.  For  seventeen  years  he  was  curator 
of  the  American  Philosophical  Society.  In  1870  he  was  president  of  the  Pharmacopceial 
Convention  and  chairman  of  the  committee  of  revision.  A  fluent  and  deliberate  speaker,  he 
was  a  favorite  as  a  lecturer.  In  1869,  after  years  of  patient  labor,  he  published  "A  History 
of  the  Medical  Department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  from  its  Foundation  in  1765, 
with  Sketches  of  the  Lives  of  Deceased  Professors,"  a  work  of  rare  and  enticing  interest 
upon  which  his  fame  as  a  medical  historian  will  safely  rest. 

William  R.  Fisher 

Professor  of  Pharmaceutical  and  General  Chemistry,  1841-1842. 

William  R.  Fisher,  a  member  of  the  class  of  1829  of  the  College,  was  one  of  the  earliest 
graduates.  Soon  after  completing  his  course,  he  removed  from  Philadelphia,  his  native  city, 
to  Baltimore,  where  he  actively  engaged  himself  in  the  literary  and  scientific  enterprises 
of  the  community  of  his  adoption ;  though  his  interests  and  affections  constantly  drew  him 
back  to  Philadelphia,  as  was  evidenced  by  his  frequent  contributions  to  the  American  Jour- 
nal of  Pharmacy.  Indeed,  William  R.  Fisher  in  Baltimore,  and  George  D.  Coggeshall  in 
New  York,  were  the  most  brilliant  torch-bearers  to  go  out  from  the  College  in  its  first 
years  for  a  lighting  of  the  way  of  pharmaceutical  education  in  other  parts  of  the  Union. 

Upon  the  resignation  of  Franklin  Bache  in  1841,  Fisher  was  elected  professor  of  chem- 
istry, but  he  taught  for  only  one  term,  since  his  spiritual  leaning  and  the  views  of  duty 
called  him  to  the  ministry.  He  retired,  therefore,  to  prepare  himself  for  this  calling,  and 
Bridges  succeeded  him.  But  disease  came  and  he  died  in  the  autumn  of  1842.  His  last 
important  work  was  as  a  member  of  the  committee  of  revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeia 
appointed  by  the  College  in  1840,  which  made  such  substantial  and  thorough-going  recom- 
mendations of  changes  in  the  book  that  the  original  draft  was  almost  entirely  rewritten. 

Fisher  was  a  man  of  the  highest  and  noblest  sentiments,  which  he  consistently  pro- 
claimed and  upheld.  He  had  accurate  and  wide  knowledge  and  was  a  glowing  lecturer. 

Robert  Bridges 

Professor  of  Pharmaceutical  and  General  Chemistry,  1842-1846;  Professor  of  Chemistry, 
1846-1879;  Professor  Emeritus  of  Chemistry,  1879-1882. 

Robert  Bridges  came  of  English  ancestry.  His  grandfather  was  a  sailmaker  in  Phila- 
delphia, his  father  Culpeper  Bridges,  a  merchant  who  married  Sarah,  the  eleventh  child  of 
William  Cliffton,  the  well  known  Quaker  blacksmith  of  Southwark.  His  parents  had  two 
sons,  William  Cliffton  and  Robert  Bridges,  the  latter  born  on  March  5,  1806.  Both  sons  were 


4O2       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

liberally  educated.  William  graduated  from  the  department  of  arts  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  in  1821.  Robert,  after  attending  the  University  for  a  time  proceeded  to  Dickin- 
son College,  where  he  was  graduated  in  1824.  Returning  to  Philadelphia,  he  became  a  pupil 
of  the  well  known  Dr.  Thomas  T.  Hewson  who,  for  the  accommodation  of  many  students 
in  his  office,  conducted  a  private  medical  school  located  on  the  north  side  of  Library  Street, 
near  Fourth  Street,  in  which  Franklin  Bache  taught  chemistry.  This  was  the  beginning  of 
a  connection  between  the  two  men  which  lasted  during  the  life-time  of  Bache,  who  appointed 
Bridges  his  assistant  in  Hewson's  school  and  kept  him  at  his  side  at  the  Franklin  Institute, 
in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  at  the  Jefferson  Medical  College. 

Meantime  Bridges  in  1828  graduated  from  the  Medical  Department  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  and  opened  an  office  for  practice,  though  his  singularly  modest  disposition  and 
retiring  character  brought  him  no  great  success.  When  Bache  left  the  Philadelphia  College 
of  Pharmacy  in  1841  to  go  to  Jefferson  Medical  College,  Bridges  was  a  candidate  for  the  va- 
cant place,  but  William  R.  Fisher  was  elected  by  a  majority  of  two  votes.  Upon  Fisher's 
retirement  after  a  year,  Bridges,  in  1842,  was  the  unanimous  choice  of  the  Board  of  Trustees 
to  succeed  him  and  he  held  the  chair  for  thirty-seven  years,  when  he  was  elected  Professor 
Emeritus  of  Chemistry  with  an  annuity  of  $1,000  in  token  of  appreciation  of  his  long  years 
of  faithful  and  valuable  service  to  the  institution.  Painstaking  and  thorough  in  his  teach- 
ing and  kindly  in  his  relations  with  the  students,  he  was  most  highly  esteemed.  His  per- 
sonality, like  his  lessons,  made  a  deep  and  lasting  impression  upon  the  thousands  of  students 
of  the  school  he  had  taught. 

He  made  a  number  of  contributions  to  scientific  literature,  several  of  them  being  pub- 
lished in  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  of  which  he  was  for  a  time,  an  assistant  editor. 
He  edited  and  revised  Fowne's  Text  Book  of  Chemistry,  and  assisted  George  B.  Wood,  after 
Bache's  death,  in  the  revision  of  the  United  States  Dispensatory.  He  died  February  20,  1882. 

Bridges'  loyalty  to  the  College  and  all  that  it  stood  for,  his  untiring  industry  as  a  teacher, 
his  noble  life  and  his  eminently  unselfish  character,  endeared  him  to  all,  and  is  affectionately 
remembered  even  to  this  day. 

William  Procter,  Jr. 

Professor  of  Pharmacy,  1846-1866;  Professor  of  Theory  and  Practice  of  Pharmacy, 
1872-1874;  Corresponding  Secretary,  1855-1867;  Second  Vice-President,  1868-1869;  First  Vice- 
President,  1867-1868;  1869-1874. 

William  Procter,  Jr.  belongs  to  an  English  Quaker  family.  His  father  Isaac  Procter, 
came  out  of  England  in  1793  and  engaged  in  business  in  Baltimore ;  he  married  Rebecca 
Farquhar  on  November  3,  1799,  and  their  ninth  child,  William,  Jr.  (so  named  as  to  dis- 
tinguish him  from  his  uncle),  was  born  on  May  3,  1817.  The  father's  early  death  in  1820 
prevented  the  boy  from  receiving  a  liberal  education  in  his  youth.  Visiting  Philadelphia, 
young  Procter  became  acquainted  with  Joseph  C.  Turnpenny,  then  learning  the  drug  business 
with  Henry  M.  Zollickoflfer  at  Sixth  and  Pine  Streets,  and  in  1831,  at  the  age  of  fourteen, 
he  entered  that  well-known  store  as  an  apprentice.  Here  his  young  mind  received  its  first 
lessons  in  pharmacy.  In  1837  he  was  graduated  from  the  College,  the  subject  of  his  thesis 
being  "Lobelia  Inflata" ;  three  years  later  was  elected  a  member  of  the  College,  the  beginning 
of  a  long  period  of  signally  notable  services  to  the  institution  and  to  pharmacy  generally. 

He  quietly  continued  his  work  in  Zollickoffer's  store,  studying  diligently  and  making 
journeys  for  recreation  and  improvement,  from  time  to  time,  to  various  parts  of  the  country — 
to  Washington,  to  Ohio,  returning  by  way  of  Niagara  Falls,  to  Boston  by  sea  and  to  other 
places,  recording  his  botanical  and  other  observations  as  he  proceeded.  Meanwhile  he  was 
reading  diligently  in  his  leisure  hours.  It  was  not  until  1844  that  he  stood  "behind  his  own 
counter,"  having  purchased  a  property  and  opened  a  store  at  the  southwest  corner  Ninth  and 
Lombard  Streets,  where  he  continued  in  the  retail  drug  business  for  many  years. 

Already  he  had  made  the  acquaintance  of  some  of  the  principal  scientific  workers  of 
the  city.  In  1841  he  was  secretary  to  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeia,  mak- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       403 

ing  numerous  experiments ;  he  was  also  active  on  the  committee  of  the  College  at  work  on  the 
same  subject,  while  his  activities  on  the  successive  revisions  of  the  Pharmacopoeia  were  un- 
tiring and  of  the  greatest  practical  value. 

In  1846  the  College  took  a  most  important  step  forward.  It  divided  the  chair  of  materia 
medica  and  pharmacy  (which  had  been  in  existence  since  1821)  into  two — one  chair  on  materia 
medica,  and  the  other  on  pharmacy ;  and  William  Procter,  Jr.,  was  unanimously  elected  the 
professor  of  pharmacy  as  the  man  best  qualified  to  assume  the  duties  and  tasks  of  the  new 
position ;  and  the  high  character  of  his  lectures  and  their  evident  practicality  brought  him 
instant  fame  and  appreciation. 

There  was  no  subject  which  enlisted  his  attention  so  much  as  the  advancement  of 
pharmacy.  For  a  time  he  was  associated  with  Carson  as  co-editor  of  the  American  Journal 
of  Pharmacy,  and  upon  the  latter's  retirement  in  1850,  Procter  assumed  sole  editorial  charge, 
a  position  which  he  held  until  1871,  when  he  was  succeeded  by  John  M.  Maisch.  For  twenty 
years,  the  journal  was  a  reflection  of  this  man's  active  outreaching  mind.  He  filled  its 
pages  with  valuable  material  adapted  to  the  needs  and  contributing  to  the  education  of 
American  pharmacists,  while  the  publication  increased  the  reputation  of  its  editor  and  the 
College  which  sponsored  it.  His  own  service  as  an  author  is  made  apparent  when  it  is  known 
that  there  are  550  original  articles  in  the  journal  to  which  his  name  is  attached,  exclusive  of 
extracts  and  editorials.  In  1849  he  issued  his  American  edition  of  Procter  and  Redwood's 
"Practical  Pharmacy,"  a  voluminous  work  enriched  by  many  additions  from  his  pen,  but 
which  did  not  go  through  a  second  edition  by  reason  of  the  cost  of  proper  illustrations,  which 
the  publishers  refused  to  incur,  and  without  which  much  of  the  value  of  the  work  would  have 
been  lost. 

"The  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  was  the  offspring  of  Procter's  able  and 
versatile  mind.  Throughout  the  years  of  his  life  which  followed  the  organization  of  that 
body,  he  gave  to  it  the  richest  treasures  of  an  intellect  fitted  beyond  all  others  for  the  work 
which  he  had  undertaken.  In  1853  he  was  chairman  of  the  committee  on  the  progress  of 
pharmacy,  and  chairman  of  a  committee  to  report  a  syllabus  of  a  course  of  study  for  stu- 
dents of  pharmacy,  which  committee  reported  in  1858.  He  was  corresponding  secretary  of 
the  Association  from  1852  to  1857,  first  vice-president  in  1859-1860,  and  was  elected  president 
at  its  session  held  in  Philadelphia  in  1862.  The  pharmacists  of  America  ought  not  to  let 
the  memory  of  their  most  distinguished  colleague  fall  into  oblivion.  They  should  keep  the 
memory  of  William  Procter,  Jr.,  green  in  their  hearts  and  should  give  him  a  monument  more 
lasting  than  stone  or  bronze — a  monument  built  in  their  affections  and  in  the  affections  of 
those  who  come  after  them.  Let  us  remember  that  the  favorite  child  of  his  genius  was  the 
American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  It  was  here  that  his  work  became  as  broad  as  his 
country."  (Albert  E.  Ebert.) 

Procter  resigned  the  chair  of  pharmacy  in  1866,  and  it  was  occupied  one  year  by  Maisch, 
but  the  latter,  in  1867,  exchanged  chairs  with  Parrish,  then  professor  of  materia  medica, 
who  became  professor  of  the  theory  and  practice  of  pharmacy,  and  continued  in  this  position 
until  his  demise  in  1872,  when  Procter  was  persuaded  to  return  to  the  place.  This  second 
period  of  service  covered  only  two  years,  for  he  died  February  10,  1874. 

Procter  loved  research  and  was  an  untiring  worker.  He  had  an  earnest  and  inquiring 
mind  and  was  full  of  energy.  "In  manner  he  was  unostentatious  and  retiring.  He  was  an 
observer  rather  than  a  talker,  but  possessed  the  ability  of  expressing  himself  in  clear  and 
pleasant  language.  As  a  lecturer  he  was  didactic.  The  jewels  of  his  character  were  in- 
tegrity, sincerity  and  a  just  sense  of  duty  to  his  fellows.  Educated  to  the  religious  belief 
of  the  Society  of  Friends,  and  holding  their  views  during  his  life,  he  made  no  profession  of 
sectarianism,  but  had  an  extended  charity  for  the  views  of  those  who  differed  with  him. 
He  was  happy  in  the  use  of  his  pen,  and  his  essays  were  marked  by  clearness  of  expression 
and  carefulness  of  detail.  His  investigation  evidenced  a  faithfulness  in  research  and  a  com- 
pleteness which  has  made  his  name  an  authority."  (Charles  Bullock.)  The  character  and 
extent  of  Procter's  services  for  his  profession  made  him  truly  "The  Father  of  American 
Pharmacy." 


404       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

Robert  P.  Thomas 

Professor  of  Materia  Medica,  1850-1864. 

Robert  P.  Thomas  who  succeeded  Carson  as  professor  of  materia  medica  in  the  College, 
was  born  in  1821  (May  29),  the  year  the  apothecaries  of  Philadelphia  were  meeting  in  Car- 
penters' Hall  to  form  the  College.  Of  Quaker  ancestry  and  training,  he  was  sent  to  the 
Westtown  School  in  Chester  County  for  his  early  education.  At  sixteen  he  was  obliged  to 
enter  the  counting  room  of  a  shipping  house,  though  his  mind  was  bent  upon  medical  study. 
In  order  to  promote  his  ambition,  he  obtained  the  appointment,  at  the  age  of  twenty-four, 
as  assistant  apothecary  to  the  Philadelphia  Dispensary,  where  he  remained  for  a  year.  This 
connection  enabled  him  to  finish  his  medical  course  and  take  the  degree  of  doctor  of  medi- 
cine at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  1847.  Practice  came  to  him  only  slowly,  but  in  1850 
he  was  elected  over  Edward  Parrish  as  Carson's  successor. 

Thomas  brought  much  enthusiasm  and  great  talent  to  the  post.  Soon  he  attached  every 
one  to  him  and  it  has  been  said  that  he  was  the  ablest  lecturer  of  his  time  in  the  United 
States  on  the  subject  of  materia  medica.  He  is  named  as  the  equal  of  Wood,  then  nearly  ready 
to  retire  from  active  service.  His  writings,  published  in  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy 
and  elsewhere,  attest  his  high  character  as  a  scientist.  His  most  extensive  literary  labors 
were  connected  with  the  revision  of  Ellis's  "Medical  Formulary,"  and  Griffith's  "Universal 
Formulary."  His  death  resulted  suddenly  from  spotted  fever  in  1864.  He  lectured  to  his 
class  on  the  evening  of  February  1,  1864,  at  the  time  apparently  in  the  best  of  health.  He  rose 
the  next  morning  with  alarming  symptoms  of  disease,  which  culminated  fatally  the  follow- 
ing day.  His  passing  was  widely  mourned. 

Edward  Parrish 

Professor  of  Materia  Medica,  1864-1867;  Professor  of  Theory  and  Practice  of  Pharmacy, 
1867-1872 ;  Recording  Secretary,  1854-1864. 

Edward  Parrish  was  a  son  of  Dr.  Joseph  Parrish,  one  of  the  most  prominent  figures  in 
the  medical  history  and  the  general  life  of  the  city  in  the  first  half  of  nineteenth  century; 
"perhaps  no  one,"  said  Dr.  Joseph  B.  Wood,  one  of  the  many  pupils  who  studied  in  his 
office  (and  as  many  as  thirty  were  sometimes  under  his  instruction  at  once),  "was  personally 
known  more  extensively  in  the  city,  and  connected  himself  by  a  greater  variety  of  beneficient 
services  with  every  ramification  of  society." 

Edward  was  the  seventh  son  of  Joseph  Parrish  and  Susanna  Cox  Parrish,  and  was  born 
on  May  31,  1822,  at  the  old  homestead  on  Arch  Street  below  Fourth.  His  early  education 
was  had  in  the  Friends'  School  of  Philadelphia;  in  1838  he  was  apprenticed  to  his  brother 
Dillwyn  at  the  southwest  corner  of  Eighth  and  Arch  Streets.  He  matriculated  at  the  College 
two  years  later,  and  in  1842  was  graduated  from  the  College,  the  subject  of  his  thesis  being 
"Statice  Caroliniana." 

In  1843  he  purchased  the  drug  store  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Ninth  and  Chestnut 
Streets,  adjoining  the  building  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  which  brought  him  in 
contact  with  medical  students  and  their  wants.  He  believed  that  those  who  should  return 
to  their  homes,  often  in  isolated  communities,  would  be  without  the  information  that  would 
enable  them  to  compound  and  dispense  medicines  for  their  patients,  and  that  pharmaceutical 
knowledge  was  necessary  to  them,  since  they  would  be  far  removed  from  prescription  drug 
stores,  still  to  be  found  only  in  the  largest  towns  and  cities.  He  therefore  started  a  School 
of  Practical  Pharmacy  in  the  rear  of  his  building  at  Ninth  and  Chestnut  Streets,  and  gave 
courses  of  instruction  to  those  who  wished  to  avail  themselves  of  them.  Later  (1850),  be- 
coming a  partner  of  his  brother  Dillwyn,  at  Eighth  and  Arch  Streets,  the  school  was  re- 
moved to  that  place,  where  better  accommodations  were  had  and  instruction  was  given  to 
both  pharmaceutical  and  medical  students. 

In  1855  he  published  the  first  edition  of  his  text  book  entitled  "Introduction  to  Practical 
Pharmacy"  (later  called  "Treatise  on  Pharmacy"),  followed  in  1859  and  in  1864  by  other  and 
more  extended  editions. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       405 

In  1850  Parrish  was  a  candidate  to  succeed  Carson  in  the  College,  but  the  chair  had  never 
been  held  by  any  one  but  a  graduate  in  medicine,  and  the  Trustees  elected  Dr.  Thomas  in- 
stead. Upon  Thomas's  death  in  1864,  Parrish  again  offered  himself  as  a  candidate.  He 
had  long  been  active  in  the  College,  for  ten  years  as  its  secretary.  He  was  now  successful, 
and  was  elected  to  the  professorship,  holding  it  for  three  years,  or  until  1867,  when  he  ex- 
changed chairs  with  Maisch,  then  professor  of  pharmacy.  Parrish  continued  to  occupy  the 
chair  of  pharmacy,  or  rather,  theory  and  practice  of  pharmacy,  as  it  was  now  called,  until 
his  death  in  1872. 

He  was  one  of  the  founders  of  Swarthmore  College  in  1864  and  played  an  important  part 
in  collecting  funds  for  the  establishment  of  that  institution,  of  which  he  was  unanimously 
chosen  to  be  its  first  president. 

He  took  an  active  and  efficient  part  in  securing  the  passage  by  the  Legislature  of  Penn- 
sylvania of  the  pharmacy  act  of  1872  requiring  examination  and  licensure  for  pharmacists 
and  their  assistants  in  the  City  of  Philadelphia.  He  was  appointed  by  Mayor  Stokely  as  a 
member  of  the  board  created  by  this  act.  His  death  occurred  September  9,  1872,  at  Fort 
Sill,  in  the  Indian  Territory,  where  he  had  gone  by  appointment  of  the  Government  for  duties 
connected  with  the  management  of  the  Indian  tribes. 

He  became  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  upon  its  organization 
in  1852,  was  recording  secretary  in  1853,  first  vice-president  in  1866,  and  president  in  1868 ; 
and  was  most  active  in  its  work. 

Parrish  loved  education  and  was  a  born  teacher.  Whether  addressing  his  own  school, 
or  the  College  or  students,  or  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  or  Swarthmore 
College — in  which  he  was  deeply  interested,  also — "his  free  and  open  manner,  the  interest  he 
took  in  his  subjects,  his  good  delivery  as  a  speaker,  rendered  him  a  favorite  and  gave  him 
influence;  and  his  ready  pen  was  always  at  command  to  bring  together  in  order  the  results  of 
his  reflections  and  inquiry,  whether  these  related  to  the  ethics  of  pharmacy,  the  by-laws  of 
associations,  or  the  advantages  of  education,  general  or  special"  (William  Procter,  Jr.)  He 
was  exceedingly  happy  in  his  manner  of  classifying  and  grouping  facts,  so  that  his  person- 
ality was  deeply  impressed  upon  his  work  and  his  name  became  a  household  word  in  Amer- 
ican Pharmacy. 

John  M.  Maisch 

Professor  of  Pharmacy,  1866-1867;  Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and  Botany,  1867-1893; 
Dean,  1879-1893. 

John  Michael  Maisch,  the  eighth  to  hold  the  professorship  of  materia  medica  in  the 
College,  was  born  in  Hanau,  Germany,  on  January  30,  1831.  After  attending  the  schools  of 
his  native  town,  he  was  apprenticed  to  a  gfoldsmith.  This  connection  was  of  short  duration. 
He  was  put  into  school  again  for  the  purpose  of  preparing  for  a  university.  But  a  long 
illness  supervened.  Upon  his  recovery,  the  revolutionary  spirit  was  spreading  over  the  coun- 
try, and  he  embraced  the  tenets  of  the  leaders  of  the  popular  uprising  of  1848.  Put  into  prison 
for  preaching  liberal  doctrines  he,  like  Carl  Schurz,  escaped  and  came  to  America. 

He  reached  Baltimore  in  1849.  Now  for  several  years  he  had  the  most  various  occu- 
pations in  that  city,  Washington,  Philadelphia  and  New  York ;  in  the  last  two  cities  from 
1853-1859.  The  scientific  bent  of  his  mind  led  him  to  constant  study  and  experimentation 
in  chemistry,  especially  as  that  science  bore  upon  pharmacy,  and  in  1859  he  began  to  teach 
in  Parrish's  School  of  Practical  Pharmacy.  This  connection  lasted  but  a  little  while.  In 
1861  he  was  called  to  the  chair  of  materia  medica  and  pharmacy  in  the  College  of  Pharmacy 
of  the  City  of  New  York,  at  the  same  time  being  employed  in  the  laboratory  of  Dr.  Edward 
R.  Squibb,  of  Brooklyn,  who  became  a  useful  and  interested  friend. 

In  1863,  through  Dr.  Squibb,  he  became  the  chemist  in  charge  of  the  United  States 
Army  Laboratory,  located  at  Sixth  and  Oxford  Streets,  Philadelphia.  Here  by  his  ability  and 
careful  management  he  saved  the  Government  large  sums  of  money. 

After  the  close  of  the  Civil  War  he  opened  a  drug  store  at  1607  Ridge  Avenue  and  ac- 
quired an  excellent  reputation  as  a  pharmacist.  For  some  years  he  had  been  actively  identi- 
fied with  the  work  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  Now  in  1866,  upon  the  resigna- 


406       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

tion  of  Professor  Procter,  he  was  elected  to  the  chair  of  pharmacy,  but  in  the  following 
year,  1867,  by  mutual  consent,  he  exchanged  professorships  with  Edward  Parrish,  who  since 
Thomas's  death  had  held  the  chair  of  materia  medica.  Maisch's  interests  and  talents  more 
nearly  fitted  him  for  this  position,  and  because  of  his  personal  qualifications  for  such  teach- 
ing, the  chair  was  enlarged  to  comprehend  the  subject  of  botany.  For  twenty-six  years,  or 
until  his  death  in  1893,  he  continued  to  hold  this  important  position,  to  the  great  advantage 
of  the  school. 

In  October,  1870,  there  was  opened  in  the  College  under  the  auspices  of  the  Alumni  As- 
sociation, a  pharmaceutical  and  chemical  laboratory  for  individual  instruction  and  Professor 
Maisch  accepted  charge  of  it.  As  a  sequence,  a  laboratory  course  in  operative  pharmacy  was 
inaugurated  by  Professor  Remington  in  1878,  and  Professor  Maisch  confined  his  laboratory 
work  to  analytical  chemistry ;  in  1881  he  resigned,  and  Professor  Frederick  B.  Power  was 
elected  director  of  the  chemical  laboratory. 

At  the  same  time  Maisch  was  editor  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  upon  which 
he  impressed  his  strong  personality,  publishing  no  less  than  400  original  articles  exclusive 
of  editorials.  In  1856  he  joined  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association,  and  was  elected 
in  1860  chairman  of  the  committee  on  the  progress  of  pharmacy,  in  1862  corresponding  secre- 
tary, in  1863  first  vice-president,  in  1864  chairman  of  the  executive  committee,  and  in  1865 
permanent  secretary,  the  duties  of  which  he  performed  until  his  demise.  His  labor  on  behalf 
of  the  national  organization  was  most  useful  and  thorough ;  twenty-seven  volumes  of  its 
Proceedings  of  the  Associations  were  published  under  his  supervision. 


He  took  a  leading  part  in  the  work  of  revising  the  Pharmacopoeia  at  the  recurring  decen- 
nial periods.  His  pen  was  always  busy,  as  is  attested  by  a  great  number  of  titles  of  his  pub- 
lished papers  and  books.  He  revised  or  assisted  in  the  revision  of  several  text  books.  In 
1874  he  revised  the  third  Edition  of  "A  Universal  Formulary,"  by  R.  Eglesfeld  Griffith, 
M.D.  In  1882  he  published  the  first  edition  of  his  "Organic  Materia  Medica,"  which  passed 
through  five  editions  during  his  life  time.  With  Dr.  Alfred  Stille  he  edited  the  "National 
Dispensatory"  which  had  reached  its  sixth  edition  in  1895. 

The  list  of  his  memberships  in  American  and  foreign  scientific  bodies  was  long  and  he 
is  rightly  held  to  have  been  one  of  the  greatest  of  teachers,  one  of  the  most  painstaking  and 
effective  observers  and  investigators,  one  of  the  most  industrious  writers  in  the  science  who 
has  appeared,  not  only  in  the  history  of  the  College,  but  in  the  broader  field  of  American 
pharmacy  and  even  international  pharmacy. 

The  last  honor  he  received  was  the  Hanbury  Gold  Medal,  given  by  the  Pharmaceutical 
Society  of  Great  Britain  as  a  memorial  to  Daniel  Hanbury,  the  eminent  pharmacognocist,  and 
awarded  biennially  to  those  who  have  pre-eminently  distinguished  themselves  in  pharma- 
cognosy.  The  President  of  the  Linnaean  Society,  the  President  of  the  Royal  Chemical  So- 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       407 

ciety,  the  President  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great  Britain,  the  President  of  the 
British  Pharmaceutical  Conference  and  Francis  Ransom  were  the  adjudicators  of  the  award. 
This  was  the  first  Hanbury  Medal  that  had  come  to  America  and  was  to  have  been  presented 
to  Professor  Maisch  by  President  Michael  Carteighe  of  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great 
Britain  in  August,  1893,  at  Chicago,  upon  the  occasion  of  the  meeting  of  the  International 
Pharmaceutical  Congress  over  which  Professor  Remington  was  to  preside,  but  Maisch  was 
too  ill  to  be  present  and  Remington  was  deputized  to  present  the  medal  to  him.  The  list 
of  those  who  had  received  the  medal  embraced  such  international  authorities  as  Frederick 
August  Fliickiger  (1881),  John  Eliot  Howard  (1883),  George  Dragendorff  (1885),  William 
Dymock  (1887),  Gustav  Planchon  (1889),  and  Julius  Oswald  Hesse  (1891). 

As  soon  as  Remington  returned  to  Philadelphia  he  called  on  Maisch.  He  found  him  on 
his  couch  quietly  awaiting  the  Eternal  Summons  and  handed  him  the  Hanbury  Medal;  and  as 
the  golden  glow  of  the  setting  sun  streamed  through  the  western  window,  his  face,  wan 
with  suffering,  was  illumined  with  joy  supreme!  It  was  as  if  the  great  authorities  of  the 
world  were  saying  to  him :  "Well  done,  good  and  faithful  servant  of  science,"  and  it  was 
also,  as  if  this  presaged  similar  commendation  by  the  Greatest  Authority  of  All  in  the  Great 
Beyond,  in  a  few  days  hence.  And  so  on  September  10,  1893,  the  soul  of  John  Michael  Maisch 
passed  on. 

He  was  a  member  of  Mt.  Moriah  Lodge,  No.  155,  F.  and  A.  M.,  and  of  Harmony  Chap- 
ter, No.  52,  R.  A.  M. 

Maisch  was  of  tall  and  commanding  appearance  with  a  rugged  frame  and  features  that 
showed  strength  of  character  in  every  line.  From  his  eyes  shone  the  sunny,  warm-hearted 
nature  that  dwelt  within.  His  memory  was  keenly  retentive — his  brain  a  veritable  storehouse 
of  facts  and  incidents  relating  to  pharmacy  and  allied  sciences,  all  ready  to  draw  upon  at  a 
moment's  notice.  And  his  work  will  live  through  the  years  to  come.  He  was  truly  one  of 
the  master  minds  of  American  Pharmacy. 

Joseph  P.  Remington 

Professor  of  Theory  and  Practice  of  Pharmacy,  1874-1918;  Director  of  the  Pharma- 
ceutical Laboratory,  1878-1918 ;  Dean,  1893-1918. 

Joseph  Price  Remington  was  born  in  Philadelphia  on  March  26,  1847.  He  was  a  son  of 
Dr.  Isaac  Remington,  a  practicing  physician,  and  Lydia  Hart  Remington,  a  descendant  of 
Townsend  Speakman,  one  of  the  earliest  of  Philadelphia  apothecaries.  From  his  boy- 
hood he  was  given  to  chemical  experimentation.  His  father's  death  when  he  was  fifteen, 
compelled  him  to  make  his  own  way  in  the  world,  and  on  January  1,  1863,  he  apprenticed 
himself  to  Charles  Ellis,  Son  and  Co.  Charles  Ellis,  the  head  of  the  firm,  was  at  that  time 
the  president  of  the  College,  and  took  more  than  ordinary  interest  in  the  young  apprentice. 

Entering  the  College,  he  was  graduated  in  1866,  and  the  next  year  found  him  in  the 
employ  of  Dr.  Edward  R.  Squibb,  of  Brooklyn,  who  was  probably  the  most  painstaking 
and  conscientious  manufacturing  pharmacist  of  the  country.  He  made  his  home  with  the 
family  of  Dr.  Squibb  for  nearly  three  years,  during  which  time  he  had  unusual  opportunities 
for  development.  The  death  of  his  mother  at  this  time,  necessitated  his  return  to  Philadel- 
phia, and  he  entered  the  employ  of  Powers  and  Weightman,  with  whom  he  continued  until 
1872,  when  he  purchased  the  retail  drug  store  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Thirteenth  and 
Walnut  Streets,  Here  he  continued  in  business  for  thirteen  years. 

His  active  participation  in  the  affairs  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  began  in 
1871,  when  he  became  an  assistant  to  Professor  Edward  Parrish,  then  teaching  pharmacy. 
After  Parrish's  death  in  1872,  and  Procter's  return  to  the  chair  of  pharmacy,  he  retained 
Remington  as  his  assistant,  and  when  Procter  died  in  1874,  Remington  was  elected  to  suc- 
ceed him.  Thus  was  begun  a  remarkable  connection  full  of  opportunities  for  himself  and 
of  meaning  to  the  College.  He  displayed  unusual  executive  ability.  Of  easy  address,  he  de- 
veloped into  a  fluent  and  forceful  speaker,  who  was  heard  with  pleasure,  not  only  in  the 
College,  but  on  the  platform  elsewhere. 

He  became  a  member  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1867,  and  in  that 
body  his  service  was  varied  and  continuous.  He  played  an  unusually  prominent  part  in  its 


408       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

meetings  during  the  Centennial  Exhibition  in  Philadelphia  in  1876,  and  was  its  president  in 
1892,  and  during  the  World's  Fair  in  Chicago,  in  1893,  he  presided  over  the  meetings  of  the 
International  Pharmaceutical  Congress. 

In  1878  he  aided  in  organizing  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association,  the  meet- 
ings of  which  he  attended  with  regularity  and  into  the  deliberations  of  which  he  entered  with 
characteristic  enthusiasm  and  ability.  He  was  elected  president  of  the  Association  in  1896. 

In  the  conferences  of  pharmacists  with  various  medical  associations  and  other  scientific 
bodies  he  exhibited  unusual  diplomatic  skill,  all  the  while  bringing  increased  prestige  to 
pharmacy  and  to  the  College. 

His  connection  with  the  Pharmacopoeia  began  in  1877  when  he  was  appointed  to  serve 
on  an  Auxiliary  Committee  of  Revision  appointed  by  the  College,  which  made  recommenda- 
tions for  the  revision  of  1880  of  such  practical  value  that  he  found  himself  a  member  and 
first  vice-chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  1880.  In  1890  and  1900,  he  was  again 
in  the  second  position  on  the  committee  and  upon  the  lamented  death  of  Chairman  Charles 
Rice  in  1901,  he  was  elected  to  the  chairmanship,  and  bore  the  brunt  of  the  labor  of  making 
the  uncompleted  volume  ready  for  press.  He  was  also  in  charge  of  the  ninth  revision  in 
1910,  and  continued  in  the  chairmanship  until  his  death. 

In  1879,  he  became  an  associate  editor  of  the  United  States  Dispensatory,  and  had  an 
important  share  in  the  revision  of  this  work  for  the  editions  which  successively  appeared 
after  that  date.  In  1885  he  first  issued  his  "Practice  of  Pharmacy,"  one  of  the  best  known 
text  books  of  pharmacy  in  the  world.  It  has  passed  through  a  number  of  editions,  each  of 
which  has  been  successful  in  the  highest  degree  and  has  been  translated  into  other  languages ; 
no  other  work  has  been  accounted  so  nearly  indispensable  in  the  drug  store  and  laboratory. 

He  was  elected  in  1886-1887,  a  Fellow  of  the  Chemical,  of  the  Linnaean,  and  of  the  Royal 
Microscopic  Societies  of  Great  Britain.  His  Alma  Mater  conferred  upon  him  the  honorary 
degree  of  master  in  pharmacy  (Ph.M.).  He  was  an  honorary  member  of  the  College  of 
Pharmacy  of  the  City  of  New  York,  and  of  many  state  pharmaceutical  associations.  He 
was,  also,  a  member  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society,  the  American  Chemical  Society, 
the  American  Geographical  Society,  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  of  Philadelphia,  and 
of  the  Historical  Society  of  Pennsylvania.  He  was  appointed  to  represent  the  United  States 
at  the  Eighth  International  Pharmaceutical  Congress  held  at  Brussels  in  1896,  was  a  delegate 
to  the  Pan-American  Medical  Congress  in  1893 ;  also  to  the  second  congress  in  Mexico  in 
1896.  He  held  honorary  membership  in  the  Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great  Britain,  the 
British  Pharmaceutical  Conference,  Pharmaceutische  Gesellschaft  in  St.  Petersburg,  Instituto 
Medico  Nacional,  Mexico ;  Societe  de  Pharmacie  d'  Anvers,  Societe  Royale  de  Pharmacie  de 
Bruxelles.  He  held  membership,  also,  in  the  Art  Club,  the  Society  of  American  Authors,  the 
Franklin  Inn  Club,  and  the  Church  Club,  all  of  Philadelphia. 

He  died  on  New  Year's  Day  of  1918  after  completing  nearly  fifty  years  of  service  in 
the  College,  first  as  an  assistant,  then  for  forty-four  years  as  professor  of  the  theory  and 
practice  of  pharmacy.  Since  Maisch's  death  in  1893  he  had  been  dean  of  the  College.  He 
had  just  finished  the  revision  of  the  twentieth  edition  of  the  U.  S.  Dispensatory,  and  the  sixth 
edition  of  his  Practice  of  Pharmacy.  His  work  was  done ;  his  life  had  been  one  of  almost 
unexampled  industry  and  full  of  honors. 

Remington  was  that  rare  combination — a  master  scientist  and  a  master-executive,  and 
was  the  foremost  figure  of  his  day  in  American  Pharmacy.  Perhaps  his  greatest  service  was 
his  promotion  of  research.  No  man  of  his  time  directed  and  dissected  more  research  work 
than  he,  as  chairman  of  the  committee  of  revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeia,  for  three  succes- 
sive decades.  His  wide  knowledge  of  pharmaceutical  literature,  his  practicality,  his  fine 
judgment,  his  forceful  character  and  his  reasonableness,  gave  to  his  opinions  almost  com- 
manding authority.  A  vigorous  personality,  ever-zealous  in  advancing  the  interests  of  his 
profession,  ready  in  debate,  wise  in  counsel,  and  of  unfailing  courtesy  and  good  humor,  he 
was,  also,  a  deep  student  of  human  nature,  a  discriminating  patron  of  art  and  literature, 
having  a  rich  fund  of  scientific  knowledge  and  general  information,  and  a  winning  personal- 
ity; possessing,  in  brief,  all  the  qualities  that  endeared  him  to  hosts  of  friends  and  compelled 
the  respect  even  of  those  who  differed  with  him. 


First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy       409 

Samuel  P.  Sadtler 

Professor  of  Chemistry,  1879-1916;  Professor  Emeritus  of  Chemistry,  1916- 

Samuel  Philip  Sadtler  was  born  in  Pine  Grove,  Schuylkill  Co.,  Pa.,  on  July  18,  1847.  His 
father  Rev.  Dr.  Benjamin  S.  Sadtler,  was  a  Lutheran  Minister,  who  for  ten  years  was  presi- 
dent of  Muhlenberg  College  at  Allentown,  Pa.,  but  at  the  time  of  his  son's  birth  had  a  charge 
in  Pine  Grove.  After  graduating  from  the  high  school  of  Easton,  Pa.,  in  1862,  he  entered 
the  Pennsylvania  College  at  Gettysburg,  and  was  graduated  in  1867. 

He  then  proceeded  to  the  newly  established  Lehigh  University  at  Bethlehem,  and  took 
his  first  year  of  professional  study,  after  which  he  went  to  Harvard,  in  1868,  as  an  advanced 
student  under  the  distinguished  chemist  Dr.  Wolcott  Gibbs.  Completing  the  course  of  the 
Lawrence  Scientific  School  in  January,  1870,  with  the  degree  of  bachelor  of  science,  he  sailed 
for  Germany,  where  in  the  following  year  at  Gottingen,  under  Professor  Woehler,  one  of 
the  great  names  in  the  history  of  chemistry,  he  received  the  degree  of  doctor  of  philosophy. 
Returning  to  this  country  in  1871,  he  was  appointed  professor  of  chemistry  and  physics  at  the 
Pennsylvania  College,  and  in  the  fall  of  1874  came  to  Philadelphia  as  professor  of  general 
and  organic  chemistry  in  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 

It  was  while  holding  this  position  that  in  1878,  he  was  asked  to  relieve  the  venerable 
Robert  Bridges  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  by  taking  a  part  of  his  lecture  work, 
and  the  next  year  when  Bridges  retired,  he  was  elected  as  his  successor.  Upon  the  demise 
of  Henry  Trimble,  professor  of  analytical  chemistry,  in  the  fall  of  1898,  Professor  Sadtler 
was  placed  in  charge  of  the  Chemical  Laboratory  for  the  coming  term  with  Josiah  C.  Peacock 
as  his  assistant. 

After  seventeen  years  of  service  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  he,  in  1891,  relin- 
quished his  duties  there  and  confined  himself  to  his  work  at  the  College,  which  was  sup- 
plemented by  private  practice  as  a  consulting  chemical  expert  which  in  the  course  of  years, 
has  brought  him  :nto  contact  with  the  largest  industrial  interests  of  the  country.  He  has 
devoted  much  attention  and  study  to  the  modern  processes  of  chemical  manufacture  and  the 
industrial  applications  of  chemistry,  and  is  a  recognized  authority  upon  this  subject,  particu- 
larly in  the  field  of  organic  chemistry,  being  frequently  engaged  as  a  chemical  expert  in 
many  important  patent  suits. 

In  1916  he  retired  from  the  chair  in  the  College  which  he  had  held  for  thirty-seven  years, 
and  was  made  professor  emeritus  of  chemistry,  a  position  which  he  now  holds.  His  resigna- 
tion was  marked  by  a  complimentary  dinner  tendered  him  at  Atlantic  City  in  connection  with 
the  1916  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association.  Addresses  were  made  and 
gifts  from  the  alumni  were  presented  to  the  guest  of  honor. 

Professor  Sadtler's  first  literary  work  was  a  "Handbook  of  Chemical  Experimentation 
for  Lecturers  and  Teachers"  in  1877.  He  was  the  first  American  editor  of  the  eighth  edition 
of  Attfield's  Chemisty,  a  text  book  especially  designed  for  students  of  pharmacy  and  chem- 
istry in  England  and  the  United  States.  In  1880,  he  became  the  chemical  editor  of  the  United 
States  Dispensatory,  and  continued  as  such  until  1916.  In  1891  he  published  the  first  edition  of 
his  "Industrial  Organic  Chemistry,"  of  which  the  fifth  edition  is  now  ready  for  issue;  this  has 
also  been  translated  into  German  and  Russian.  In  1895,  he  published  jointly  with  Professor 
Henry  Trimble  the  first  edition  of  "Sadtler  and  Trimble's  Pharmaceutical  and  Medical  Chem- 
istry," which,  since  Professor  Trimble's  death,  and  in  its  later  editions,  has  been  known  as 
"Sadtler  and  Coblentz's  Pharmaceutical  and  Medical  Chemistry." 

He  has  been  a  delegate  from  the  College  to  the  U.  S.  Pharmacoposia  Conventions  of  1890, 
1900  and  1910,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Committee  of  Revision  for  these  two  successive 
decades.  He  has  also  contributed  many  scientific  papers  to  chemical  and  pharmaceutical 
journals  and  delivered  many  public  addresses  on  chemical  and  technical  subjects.  He  is  a 
member  of  a  large  number  of  chemical  societies  and  other  scientific  bodies,  perhaps  the  most 
important  of  which  is  the  "American  Institute  of  Chemical  Engineers,"  of  which  he  was  one 
of  the  founders  and  the  first  president.

He  is  a  member  of  the  American  Philosophical  Society,  of  which  he  was  secretary  from 
1898  to  1902;  the  American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science;  the  American 
Chemical  Society ;  the  American  Electro-chemical  Society ;  the  Chemical  Societies  of  London 
and  Berlin,  and  the  Society  of  Chemical  Industry,  and  the  Franklin  Institute,  of  which  he  is 
professor  emeritus  of  chemistry.  Of  distinctively  pharmaceutical  organizations,  he  is  a  mem- 
ber of  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  and  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  As- 
sociation. He  is  also  a  member  of  the  Chemists  Club  of  New  York,  and  the  Engineers 
Club  and  the  University  Club  of  Philadelphia. 

Pennsylvania  College,  from  which  he  had  graduated  thirty-five  years  before,  conferred 
upon  him,  in  1902,  the  honorary  degree  of  doctor  of  laws. 

For  many  years  he  has  taken  an  active  part  in  the  work  of  the  Lutheran  Church  and  has 
long  occupied  the  position  of  president  on  its  Board  of  Publication. 

Sadtler  has  won  national  and  international  renown  as  a  master  mind  in  pharmaceutical 
and  industrial  chemistry  and  has  done  yeoman  service  in  upbuilding  the  College.  He  has 
borne  the  heat  and  burden  of  the  day  for  the  past  forty-three  years  as  a  teacher  in  the 
institution,  has  served  for  many  years  as  dean  of  the  Food  and  Drugs  Course  and  on  many 
important  committees  of  the  College,  including  the  Publication  Committee  (of  which  he  was 
the  chairman  for  many  years),  and  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  now,  as  chairman  of  the 
latter,  his  wide  knowledge,  experience  and  matured  judgment  are  of  the  greatest  helpfulness 
in  directing  the  executive  work  of  the  institution. 

Frederick  B.  Power 

Professor  of  Analytical  Chemistry,  1881-1883. 

Frederick  fielding  Power,  the  first  to  hold  the  chair  of  analytical  chemistry  in  the  Phila- 
delphia College  of  Pharmacy,  was  born  in  Hudson,  N.  Y.,  in  1853.  He  graduated  from  the 
College  in  1874,  the  subject  of  his  thesis  being  "Resina  Podophylli." 

After  graduation,  he  decided  to  continue  his  scientific  studies,  and  entered  the  University 
of  Strassburg  in  1876,  from  which  in  1880  he  received  the  degree  of  doctor  of  philosophy. 
During  this  period  he  conducted  some  important  researches,  and  was  appointed  assistant  to 
the  eminent  scientist  Flitckiger,  who  was  one  of  his  teachers. 

He  returned  to  America  in  1880  and  for  three  years  was  in  charge  of  the  chemical 
laboratory  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  In  1883  he  was  called  to  the  University 
of  Wisconsin  to  organize  the  department  of  pharmacy,  of  which  he  was  the  dean,  and 
he  there  gave  instruction  in  pharmaceutical  chemistry  and  materia  medica  while  also  con- 
ducting laboratory  work.  In  recognition  of  this  service,  and  to  commemorate  the  twenty- 
fifth  anniversary  of  the  establishment  of  the  school  of  pharmacy,  the  University  conferred 
upon  him  in  1908  the  honorary  degree  of  doctor  of  laws. 

While  still  connected  with  the  University  of  Wisconsin,  he  was  appointed  a  member 
of  the  Committee  of  Revision  of  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia  of  1890,  and  contributed 
largely  to  that  work.  In  1892  he  resigned  his  academic  position  in  order  to  become  the 
scientific  director  of  the  newly  established  laboratories  of  Fritzsche  Brothers,  near  New  York, 
which  were  devoted  to  the  production  of  essential  oils  and  fine  organic  chemicals.  It  was 
while  thus  engaged  that  many  of  his  well-known  researches  on  the  more  important  essential 
oils  were  conducted. 

In  1896  when  his  life-long  friend,  Henry  S.  Wellcome,  established  his  chemical  research 
laboratories  in  London,  Power  was  appointed  director  of  that  institution  which  has  since 
gained  such  renown  in  the  scientific  world.  He  was  thus  in  a  position  to  devote  himself 
exclusively  to  chemical  research  in  which  he  was  assisted  by  a  large  staff  of  highly  trained 
chemists.  During  those  years  in  London,  Power  gained  a  wide  reputation  for  the  highly 
scientific  character  and  fruitfulness  of  his  researches,  which  covered  a  wide  field,  especially 
in  plant  chemistry.  The  results  of  these  researches  were  communicated  to  the  various  learned 
societies  and  published  in  the  leading  scientific  journals.  At  the  same  time  an  opportunity 
was  afforded  him  of  meeting  many  of  the  most  prominent  scientists  of  Europe,  with  some  of 
whom  close  and  enduring  friendships  were  formed.

He  was  elected  a  fellow  of  the  London  Chemical  Society  in  1896,  and  he  was  also  inti- 
mately associated  with  the  Society  of  Chemical  Industry  on  the  Council  and  Publication  Com- 
mittee of  which  he  served  for  several  years.  In  1913  the  Chemical  and  Linnsean  Societies  and 


FREDERICK  B.  POWER 


Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great  Britain  jointly  awarded  him  the  Hanbury  Gold  Medal  in 
recognition  of  his  researches  in  the  natural  history  and  chemistry  of  drugs.  This  was  fol- 
lowed by  the  presentation  to  him  of  a  beautiful  illuminated  address  and  album  which  repre- 
sented the  appreciation  of  numerous  scientific  men  in  many  parts  of  the  world  and  contained 


412       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

their  signatures.  In  1913  he  received,  also,  the  degree  of  master  in  pharmacy  honoris  causa 
from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  On  resigning  his  position  in  London  in  1914 
in  order  to  return  to  America,  a  gold  medal  bearing  his  profile  in  relief  was  awarded  him 
by  Henry  S.  Wellcome.  This  medal  was  inscribed  as  a  recognition  of  his  distinguished 
services  to  science  during  the  eighteen  and  a  half  years  as  director  of  the  Wellcome  Re- 
search Laboratories  in  London.  The  presentation  of  this  medal  took  place  in  Washington, 
D.  C.,  in  May,  1921,  in  the  presence  of  Mr.  Wellcome  and  a  very  distinguished  company. 
The  address  on  this  occasion  was  delivered  by  Dr.  Charles  D.  Walcott,  of  the  Smithsonian 
Institution  and  President  of  the  National  Academy  of  Sciences,  who  in  the  course  of  his 
remarks  said :  "Dr.  Power  for  fifty  years  has  spent  his  thinking  hours  among  the  compli- 
cated molecules  of  organic  compounds,  and,  because  he  possessed  that  peculiar  faculty  of 
exhausting  each  subject  which  he  takes  up,  has  had  the  greatest  influence  both  in  America 
and  Great  Britain  in  raising  the  standards  of  our  Pharmacopoeias.  He  has  gained  distinction 
by  his  most  difficult  and  life-consuming  researches  into  the  chemical  composition  of  plant 
compounds." 

In  1916  he  was  assigned  a  position  in  the  Bureau  of  Chemistry  of  the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Agriculture,  where  he  is  in  charge  of  the  Phytochemical  Laboratory,  and  he  has  recently 
been  appointed  by  President  Harding  a  member  of  the  National  Research  Council. 

Power  has  won  great  fame  for  his  scientific  research.  He  belongs  to  the  same  pre- 
eminent group  of  research  workers  in  pharmacy,  chemistry  and  correlated  science  as  Procter, 
Maisch  and  Lloyd  whose  work  has  been  of  such  marked  value  in  the  upbuilding  of  these 
sciences,  and  his  achievements  are  of  so  high  a  scientific  character  that  they  are  destined 
to  assume  even  greater  importance  in  the  years  to  come. 

Henry  Trimble 

Assistant  in  Chemistry,  1881-1883;  Professor  of  Analytical  Chemistry,  1883-1898. 

Henry  Trimble  was  born  near  Chester,  Pa.,  in  1853.  Of  Quaker  parentage,  he  received 
his  early  education  at  the  old  Westtown  school  in  Chester  county.  At  nineteen  he  became 
an  apprentice  and  in  1876  was  graduated  from  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.  Wish- 
ing to  supplement  his  training,  he  entered  the  Scientific  Department  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  to  pursue  special  work  in  organic  chemistry,  and  then  became  an  assistant  of 
Professor  Samuel  P.  Sadtler,  in  teaching  organic  chemistry.  It  was  at  this  time  that  Pro- 
fessor Sadtler  was  invited  to  take  the  lectures  in  chemistry  in  the  College  given  for  so  many 
years  by  Dr.  Robert  Bridges ;  and  Trimble  became  Sadtler's  assistant  at  the  College.  He 
was  elected  to  an  instructorship  in  1881,  and  when  Dr.  Frederick  B.  Power  resigned  from  the 
school  as  professor  of  analytical  chemistry  and  director  of  the  chemical  laboratory  in  1883, 
Trimble  took  up  the  duties  of  those  positions.  Meanwhile,  for  some  five  years,  he  had  been 
engaged  in  the  retail  drug  business  with  his  friend  and  classmate,  C.  W.  Warrington,  at  Fifth 
and  Callowhill  Streets,  but  upon  his  election  to  the  Faculty  of  the  College,  he  retired  from 
this  connection  and  gave  his  entire  attention  to  teaching  and  research. 

He  was  an  industrious  investigator  in  a  number  of  fields,  having  devoted  himself  in  a 
particular  way  to  the  tannins,  upon  which  subject  and  sylviculture  he  wrote  and  published 
a  number  of  papers  and  monographs.  In  1885,  he  prepared  and  issued  a  small  "Handbook  of 
Analytical  Chemistry"  for  use  in  his  laboratory.  After  running  through  several  editions, 
it  was  merged  into  the  "Text  Book  of  Pharmaceutical  and  Medical  Chemistry,"  published  in 
1895  by  Trimble  and  Sadtler  jointly.  In  1894  upon  the  death  of  Maisch,  he  became  the  editor 
of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy.  He  threw  himself  with  much  energy  into  this  new 
work. 

In  1896  he  had  the  honorary  degree  of  master  of  arts  conferred  upon  him  by  Haverford 
College.  His  Alma  Mater  had  previously  (1891)  conferred  upon  him  the  honorary  degree  of 
master  in  pharmacy  (Ph.M.).  In  1897  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  American  Philosoph- 
ical Society. 

Trimble's  health  failed  him.  He  was  forced  to  seek  relief  in  rest,  but  without  avail, 
and  he  died  on  August  26,  1898,  in  the  full  flush  of  young  manhood.  "Starting  as  a  pharma-

ceutical  apprentice  himself  and  earning  his  way  through  College,  every  step  of  his  career 
was  carved  out  by  his  own  exertions.  His  example  may  well  be  emulated  by  young  men  who 
start  life  with  perhaps  a  fear  that  the  difficulties  ahead  of  them  are  too  great  and  the  rewards 
too  remote  and  uncertain.  He  leaves  behind  him  also  for  those  who  were  privileged  to  know 
him  well,  precious  recollection — that  of  a  true  hearted  and  faithful  friend  who  was  always 
the  same  and  whose  word  could  always  be  relied  upon  implicitly"  (Samuel  P.  Sadtler). 

Frank  X.  Moerk 

Assistant  in  Chemical  Laboratory,  1884-1892 ;  Instructor  in  Theoretical  Chemistry,  1886- 
1899;  Professor  of  Analytical  Chemistry  and  Director  of  Chemical  Laboratory,  1899- 

Frank  Xavier  Moerk  was  born  in  Philadelphia,  July  3,  1863 ;  his  family  moved  to  Wil- 
mington, Delaware,  where,  in  his  early  boyhood,  he  received  his  education  in  private  and 
public  schools.  Beginning  in  August,  1877,  he  served  an  apprenticeship  with  August  Kuhl- 
mann,  a  German  apothecary  of  Wilmington. 

Later  he  spent  some  time  in  Philadelphia  in  the  drug  store  of  Dr.  Wm.  McClean  and  Dr. 
Henry  Mueller.  In  September,  1881,  he  matriculated  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy, and  spent  two  years  in  his  senior  years'  work  in  order  to  complete  his  thesis,  a  com- 
prehensive dissertation  upon  malt.  In  March,  1884,  he  was  graduated  as  a  Ph.G.,  with  hon- 
ors, being  awarded  the  chemistry  prize  and  the  Henry  C.  Lea  Prize  of  $100. 

He  then  became  associated  in  the  teaching  work  at  the  College  by  becoming  an  assistant 
and  instructor,  and  in  1899  was  made  professor  of  analytical  chemistry  and  director  of  the 
chemical  laboratory.  His  rise  in  position  and  authority  was  rapid  and  continuous,  and  he 
now  occupies  the  highest  position  the  College  has  to  offer  in  his  line  of  work. 

His  long  experience  with  students  in  analytical  chemistry  has  developed  in  him  the  real- 
ization of  the  necessity  for  efficient  teaching  helps.  His  notes  on  "Qualitative  Analysis,"  pub- 
lished in  1901,  and  his  later  and  more  complete  work  on  "Qualitative  Chemical  Analysis," 
published  in  1905,  are  models  of  clearness  and  simplicity  and  have  helped  thousands  of  stu- 
dents in  their  work.  He  has  devised  many  improvements  in  apparatus,  and  the  literature  of 
scientific  pharmacy  contains  many  contributions  from  his  pen,  usually  along  the  lines  of  the 
simplification  of  chemical  analytical  processes.  Many  of  his  suggestions  have  found  their 
way  into  the  permanent  literature  of  the  profession,  and  have  been  adopted  by  the  Commit- 
tee of  Revision  of  the  Pharmacopoeia  and  other  authoritative  bodies. 

In  1905  he  received  the  honorary  degree  of  Ph.M.,  from  his  Alma  Mater. 

Frank  X.  Moerk  is  an  active  member  of  many  chemical  and  pharmaceutical  organizations. 
His  extensive  acquaintance  with  scientific  literature,  his  thoroughness  in  analytical  chemical 
work,  and  his  practical  common  sense,  make  him  an  ideal  consultant  upon  technical  problems ; 
and  as  such  he  is  in  constant  demand. 

Edson  S.  Bastin 

Professor  of  Materia  Medica  and  Botany,  1893-1897. 

Edson  Sewell  Bastin,  professor  of  materia  medica  and  botany  following  John  M.  Maisch, 
was  born  in  1843  in  Ozaukee  County,  Wisconsin.  His  boyhood  was  spent  on  a  farm  and  his 
early  opportunities  for  schooling  were  not  large.  His  way  was  not  made  the  easier  by  the 
death  of  his  parents  before  he  had  yet  reached  his  teens.  The  Civil  War  breaking  out,  he 
enlisted  with  a  regiment  of  Wisconsin  volunteer  infantry.  Coming  out  of  the  war  a  captain, 
he  was  offered  a  cadetship  at  West  Point,  but  instead  he  chose  to  enter  Chicago  University 
from  which  he  graduated  in  1867.  In  the  same  university  he  pursued  divinity  studies  for 
three  years,  intending  to  preach,  but  his  interest  in  the  natural  sciences,  and  particularly 
botany,  turned  him  to  the  drug  business. 

His  record  in  the  Army  led  to  his  receiving  a  political  appointment.  He  became  United 
States  Marshal  in  Indian  Territory,  then  a  lawless  region,  but  his  wife  could  not  endure 
the  strain  of  the  exciting  life  which  he  was  obliged  to  lead  in  the  performance  of  his  duties, 
and  they  returned  to  Chicago,  where,  in  1874,  he  became  the  registrar  of  the  University  of 
Chicago.  In  this  institution  he  began  teaching  botany.  In  1876,  he  was  also  lecturing  on  this 


414       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

subject  in  the  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy,  and  continued  his  double  connection  until  1883, 
when  he  resigned  from  the  university  to  devote  his  entire  time  to  his  work  in  the  Chicago 
College  of  Pharmacy. 

In  1887  Bastin  issued  the  first  edition  of  his  "Elements  of  Botany,"  later  known  under 
the  title  of  "College  Botany."  In  1890  he  resigned  his  position  in  the  Chicago  College  of 
Pharmacy  to  become  professor  of  botany  and  materia  medica  in  the  Northwestern  Uni- 
versity, and  in  1893  he  was  called  to  Philadelphia  to  take  the  chair  so  long  occupied  by 
Professor  Maisch.  Here  he  assumed  charge  of  the  new  botanical  and  microscopical  labora- 
tory established  by  the  College  in  1894  and  published  an  important  work,  "Laboratory  Exer- 
cises in  Botany,"  containing  several  hundred  illustrations  from  his  own  hand. 

Bastin  was  engaged  upon  large  and  useful  undertakings  when  death  claimed  him,  on 
April  6,  1897,  as  a  result  of  cerebral  hemorrhage.  His  fifty-four  years  had  been  led  among 
vicissitudes  unusual  and  various.  Bastin — "Whether  as  student,  soldier,  teacher,  author  or 
artist,  was  a  man  and  a  thoroughly  honest  one,  and  a  master  in  every  station  in  which  he 
was  placed"  (Henry  Trimble). 

Clement  B.  Lowe 

Instructor  in  Materia  Medica  and  Botany,  1886-1897;  Professor  of  Materia  Medica, 
1897-1921 ;  Professor  Emeritus  of  Materia  Medica,  1921- 

Clement  Belton  Lowe  was  born  in  Salem,  N.  J.,  in  1846,  and  his  early  education  was 
obtained  in  the  public  schools  of  that  place.  Later  he  spent  five  years  in  Bucknell  University, 
Lewistown,  Pa.,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1865  with  the  degree  of  Ph.B.  He  spent 
the  year  1866  at  the  Philadelphia  Polytechnic  College,  intending  to  become  a  civil  engineer, 
but  was  compelled  by  ill  health  to  relinquish  this  purpose.  In  1867  he  entered  the  drug 
business  with  William  Lippincott  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Ninth  and  Vine  Streets,  later 
succeeding  to  the  sole  ownership  of  the  business,  which  he  continued  until  1895.  He  became 
a  student  at  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1882.  and  was  graduated  as  a  Ph.G. 
in  1884.  He  subsequently  studied  medicine  at  Jefferson  Medical  College,  from  which  he 
was  graduated  in  1887.  In  1899,  he  purchased  the  Pelham  Pharmacy  in  Germantown,  which 
he  conducted  until  1914,  besides  devoting  part  of  his  time  to  the  practice  of  medicine. 

In  1885,  he  was  made  quiz  master  in  materia  medica  and  botany  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion and  in  1886  became  assistant  to  Professor  Maisch  and  quiz  master  in  materia  medica 
and  botany.  When  Professor  Bastin  succeeded  Professor  Maisch  in  1893,  he  continued  in 
the  same  positions. 

Upon  the  demise  of  Professor  Bastin  in  1897,  it  was  decided  to  divide  the  teaching  of 
materia  medica  and  botany  in  the  College  into  two  professorships.  The  one  embracing  materia 
medica,  physiology  and  pharmacology  was  given  to  Clement  B.  Lowe,  while  the  other  includ- 
ing botany,  pharmacognosy  and  microscopy  was  given  to  Henry  Kraemer. 

He  has  always  maintained  an  active  interest  in  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  College, 
having  been  a  member  of  its  Executive  Board  for  ten  years  and  president  in  1888-1889. 

For  many  years,  he  took  a  prominent  part  in  the  Pennsylvania  Pharmaceutical  Association 
and  has  been  a  frequent  contributor  to  its  proceedings.  He  served  as  chairman  of  the 
committee  on  adulterations,  and  chairman  of  the  committee  on  papers  and  queries.  He 
was  first  vice-president  of  the  association  in  1900-1901  and  president  in  1907. 

He  has  also  been  a  prominent  worker  in  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association, 
having  occupied  the  position  of  secretary  and  of  chairman  of  the  section  on  education  and 
legislation  in  1899-1901.  He  was  for  some  years  the  editor  of  the  Alumni  Report  of  the 
Alumni  Association  of  the  College,  and  is  the  author  of  "A  Syllabus  of  the  Botanical  Nat- 
ural Orders,"  which  has  passed  through  several  editions,  and  a  volume  on  "The  Medicinal 
Plants  of  the  Philippines." 

Since  1914.  when  he  sold  his  drug  store  in  Pelham,  Germantown,  he  has  resided  in 
Vineland,  N.  J..  and  has  devoted  much  of  his  time  to  local  affairs. 

He  resigned  and  was  made  professor  emeritus  of  materia  medica  in  1921,  when  he  was 
succeeded  by  Dr.  Horatio  C.  Wood,  Jr.  He  is  now  living  in  retirement  in  Vineland,  N.  J.

Despite  the  demands  of  a  busy  career,  Clement  B.  Lowe  has  always  been  earnestly  en- 
gaged in  the  work  of  the  Baptist  Church,  and  especially  in  the  Sabbath  School.  He  was 
formerly  a  deacon  of  the  Fourth  Baptist  Church  of  Philadelphia,  and  a  member  and  deacon 
of  the  Second  Baptist  Church  of  Germantown.  He  has  been  superintendent  of  both  of  these 
schools  and  president  of  the  Baptist  Superintendent's  Association  of  Philadelphia. 

Henry  Kraemer 

Professor  of  Botany  and  Pharmacognosy  and  Director  of  Microscopical  Laboratory, 
1897-1917. 

Henry  Kraemer  was  born  in  Philadelphia  on  July  22,  1868.  His  early  education  was 
obtained  in  Girard  College  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1883.  He  then  served  an  ap-

Kraemer,  who  took  over  also,  the  directorship  of  the  Microscopical  Laboratory. 

In  1898,  owing  to  the  illness  of  Professor  Henry  Trimble,  he  became  acting  editor  of 
the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  being  elected  editor  in  1899  after  the  death  of  Professor 
Trimble,  to  the  pages  of  which,  during  his  nineteen  years  of  service,  he  personally  made 
a  large  number  of  contributions. 

In  addition  to  the  regular  courses  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy,  he  in-

to  the  Eighth  Decennial  Revision  of  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia,  making  many  ex- 
periments upon  galenical  preparations,  such  as  fluid  extracts,  tinctures,  syrups,  etc. 

He  assisted  in  the  establishment  of  the  Dispensing  Laboratory  of  the  College  in  1903, 
and  later  assumed  full  charge  of  this  branch  of  the  teaching  work. 

In  the  preparation  of  the  fourth,  fifth  and  sixth  revisions  of  Remington's  Practice  of 
Pharmacy  he  assisted  Professor  Remington,  being  made  assistant  editor  of  that  important 
work,  and  also,  of  the  nineteenth  and  twentieth  revisions  of  the  United  States  Dispensatory. 

In  1918  while  Professor  LaWall  was  filling  out  the  decennial  term  as  chairman  of  the 
Revision  Committee  of  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia,  after  Professor  Remington's  death, 
he  was  one  of  the  members  elected  to  the  membership  in  the  Committee  of  Revision  to  fill 
vacancies.  With  his  long  years  of  experience  and  association  with  Professor  Remington, 
Professor  Cook  presented  to  the  Tenth  Decennial  Pharmacopoeia!  Convention  in  May,  1920, 
a  proposed  comprehensive  plan  of  revision  which  was  so  sound  and  practical  that  he  was 
not  only  elected  a  member  of  the  United  States  Pharmacopoeia!  Revision  Committee,  but 
was  the  unanimous  choice  of  that  body  for  the  important  post  of  chairmanship,  which  is 
now  engaging  much  of  his  time.  He  is  also  an  active  worker  upon  the  Committee  on  Revision 
of  the  National  Formulary. 

He  was  the  Executive-Secretary  of  the  Committee  on  Centennial  Celebration  of  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  in  1920-1921,  devoting  untiring  energy  to  the  furtherance 
of  the  work  of  that  committee,  the  labors  of  which  culminated  in  the  Centennial  Wreek 
Celebration  of  June,  1921.

Louis  Gershenfeld  was  born  in  Philadelphia  on  December  25,  1893.  His  early  educa- 
tion was  obtained  in  the  public  schools  of  his  native  city  and  he  graduated  with  honors  from 
the  Southern  Manual  Training  School  in  1912  and  was  awarded  one  of  the  city  scholarships 
to  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  and  Science.  During  the  later  years  of  his  high- 
school  work  he  had  obtained  some  pharmaceutical  experience  after  school  hours  and  during

Frank  G.  Ryan 

Assistant  in  Pharmacy,  1887-1889;  Instructor  in  Pharmacy  and  Assistant  Director  of 
Pharmaceutical  Laboratory,  1889-1900;  Instructor  in  Commercial  Training,  1899-1900. 

Frank  Gibbs  Ryan  was  born  at  Marcellus  Falls,  New  York,  on  December  26,  1861.  He 
was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Elmira.  At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  engaged  in  the  drug 
business.  During  the  year  1880-1882,  he  was  employed  as  a  drug  clerk  with  Brown  and 
Dawson,  pharmacists  of  Syracuse. 


FRANK  G.  KYAN 


In  1882  he  came  to  Philadelphia  and  matriculated  at  the  College  and  graduated  in  1884, 
the  subject  of  his  thesis  being  "Magnesii  Carbonas." 

In  1887  he  became  an  assistant  in  pharmacy  at  the  College,  and  after  the  optional  course 
in  commercial  training  was  established  in  1899,  at  the  suggestion  of  Professor  Remington, 
it  was  placed  in  Ryan's  charge.  This  was  an  entirely  new  departure  in  pharmaceutical  educa- 
tion and  attracted  wide  attention,  but  within  a  few  years  its  value  was  demonstrated,  and  it 
was  made  a  part  of  the  regular  curriculum  of  the  College. 


424       First  Century  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy 

The  College,  in  1889,  gave  him  the  title  of  instructor  in  pharmacy  and  assistant  director 
of  pharmaceutical  laboratory;  at  the  same  time  he  lectured  in  pharmacy  in  the  Woman's 
Medical  College  of  Philadelphia.  In  1900  he  relinquished  teaching  and  accepted  the 
position  of  chief  pharmacist  with  Parke.  Davis  and  Company,  a  step  pregnant  with  im- 
portant possibilities.  His  advancement  was  phenomenal  and  yet  logical  by  reason  of 
the  fact  that  he  was  always  courteous,  yet  forceful,  and  possessed  unusual  administrative 
capacity  together  with  wide  scientific  knowledge.  In  less  than  seven  years,  he  became  a 
director  of  the  corporation,  then  secretary,  then  vice-president  and  then  president,  which 
position  he  filled  for  thirteen  years,  or  until  his  demise  on  April  20,  1920. 

He  joined  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  in  1892,  and  was  elected  secretary 
of  the  section  on  scientific  papers  the  same  year,  and  in  1899-1900  was  chairman  of  the 
section.  He  served  as  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Weights  and  Measures  for  a  number 
of  years  and  was  a  staunch  advocate  of  the  metric  system.  He  took  an  active  interest  in 
the  organization  and  work  of  the  American  Drug  Manufacturers'  Association  and  for  the 
first  two  years  of  its  existence  served  as  president. 

In  the  civic  life  of  the  City  of  Detroit  he  was  an  active  factor.  He  was  a  member  of 
five  of  the  leading  clubs  of  the  city  and  served  a  term  as  president  of  the  Detroit  Club 
and  of  the  Country  Club.  He  was  a  deep  student  of  economic  and  political  affairs,  and  his 
opinion  was  highly  esteemed.  During  the  World  War,  his  advice  on  drug  matters  was 
frequently  sought  by  the  governmental  authorities. 

He  is  survived  by  a  daughter,  Mrs.  Charles  A.  Dean,  Jr.,  of  Detroit,  and  a  grandson 
Charles  A.  Dean,  3rd. 

Frank  G.  Ryan's  outstanding  characteristics,  in  addition  to  his  unusually  high  character 
and  ability,  were  his  quickness  of  perception,  promptness  of  decision,  intense  earnestness  and 
close  application  to  work.  As  Remington  once  said,  "Ryan  never  left  uncompleted  any  task  he 
undertook;  he, covered  every  detail  of  every  problem,"  and  with  these  characteristics,  he  was 
also  sympathetic  and  warm-hearted,  and  won  the  respect  and  admiration  of  his  associates 
and  the  affection  of  a  host  of  friends.  And  he  loved  his  Alma  Mater  "even  unto  death," 
for  in  his  will  he  bequeathed  to  her  one  hundred  shares  of  the  stock  of  Parke,  Davis  and 
Company.

principles,  and  problems  in  practical  dispensing ;  in  some  of  these,  Mrs.  Peacock  has 
collaborated. 

Josiah  C.  Peacock's  earnestness,  loyalty  and  hard  work  on  behalf  of  his  Alma  Mater,  espe- 
cially as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  and  as  chairman  of  the  committee  on  member- 
ship, has  won  for  him  the  warmest  regard  of  a  host  of  friends.

book  to  him.

EXPLANATORY  NOTES 

The  biographies  in  the  pages  following  were  written  up  chiefly  from  data  supplied  by 
the  persons  concerned.  A  number  of  graduates,  doubtless  some  of  prominence,  either  de- 
clined or  failed  to  accede  to  our  requests  to  contribute  such  data  and  as  a  consequence  some 
of  the  sketches  seem  to  be  unduly  short. 

The  name  of  the  graduate  appears  in  the  class  with  which  he  received  his  diploma, 
though  in  many  instances  the  course  of  instruction  may  have  been  completed  one  or  more 
years  previously. 

A  star  (*)  before  a  name  denotes  that  the  individual  is  deceased. 

In  the  case  of  married  women  graduates,  the  name  under  which  the  degree  was  received 
is  given  first,  with  the  married  name  immediately  following  in  parenthesis. 

In  the  case  of  men  who  have  changed  their  names  since  graduation,  the  name  under 
which  the  degree  was  received  is  given  first,  with  the  new  name  immediately  following 
in  parenthesis. 

Sp.  before  the  year  of  graduation  denotes  that  the  person  completed  a  course  for  which 
no  degree  was  conferred,  but  for  which  a  certificate  was  given.
